Summary
Face your demons。。。 or feed them。
The dashing young king， Nikolai Lantsov， has always had a gift for the impossible。 No one knows what he endured in his country's bloody civil war--and he intends to keep it that way。 Now， as enemies gather at his weakened borders， Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka's coffers， forge new alliances， and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army。
Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger， threatening to destroy all he has built。 With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general， Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him。 He will risk everything to save his country and himself。 But some secrets aren't meant to stay buried--and some wounds aren't meant to heal。

This book started a tad slow but once it’s gets going。。。wow！ The push and pull between Zoya and Nikolai and the development of those characters was fantastic。 I really enjoyed this book and the ending has me so looking forward to the next book。

This story took many surprising twists and turns。 It was nice to see characters from Six of Crows， also heartbreaking at times。 Lovely deep and emotionally complicated story。 Author is able to weave some difficult themes into this fantasy world which makes it a very rich and satisfying read。 Counting the days until #2 :）

At this point， I’m convinced Leigh Bardugo could write a phone book， and I’d devour it。

I love that Bardugo is delving into more complex topics in this book， specifically by getting into the more religious aspects of the Grishaverse。 But this book just didn't click with me in the same way the others had。 I think I just felt like some of the fun adventure aspects of the other books weren't in this one， and were instead exchanged for more intellectual （？） or moral （？） pursuits and questions。 It really picked up in the second half though， and I'm excited for the new book！ I love that Bardugo is delving into more complex topics in this book， specifically by getting into the more religious aspects of the Grishaverse。 But this book just didn't click with me in the same way the others had。 I think I just felt like some of the fun adventure aspects of the other books weren't in this one， and were instead exchanged for more intellectual （？） or moral （？） pursuits and questions。 It really picked up in the second half though， and I'm excited for the new book！ 。。。more

3。5/5There was a whole lotta nothing going on for most of this book。 Luckily， I'm definitely a character person instead of plot， so I still managed to enjoy this book despite how boring the first half was。Zoya， Nina， and Genya are my faves and they were iconic in this book。 Nina's story was kind of，，， eh until the last third but I just love her sm。 And hearing her frequently mention Matthias， Inej， Kaz， and her time in Ketterdam really made this book worthwhile。I think this book could have been 3。5/5There was a whole lotta nothing going on for most of this book。 Luckily， I'm definitely a character person instead of plot， so I still managed to enjoy this book despite how boring the first half was。Zoya， Nina， and Genya are my faves and they were iconic in this book。 Nina's story was kind of，，， eh until the last third but I just love her sm。 And hearing her frequently mention Matthias， Inej， Kaz， and her time in Ketterdam really made this book worthwhile。I think this book could have been like 100 pages shorter and not really lost anything。 I'm really hoping Rule of Wolves is more interesting。Note: the triggers in this book were unexpected and really difficult to read。 Miscarriage， harm to pregnant women， child marriage， etc。 Please look up triggers before reading 。。。more

I always find it difficult to write reviews for the books in the Grishaverse series。 And it’s not because I don’t have what to say， but because it’s hard to talk about them without getting into spoilers， as the story line， the character interactions with one another， secrets and surprises we get - are the very best things about these books。 However， I will do my best to talk about this book， without actually talking about it。 First of all， I really enjoyed the fact that Leigh Bardugo chose the S I always find it difficult to write reviews for the books in the Grishaverse series。 And it’s not because I don’t have what to say， but because it’s hard to talk about them without getting into spoilers， as the story line， the character interactions with one another， secrets and surprises we get - are the very best things about these books。 However， I will do my best to talk about this book， without actually talking about it。 First of all， I really enjoyed the fact that Leigh Bardugo chose the Six of Crows writing approach for the King of Scars too and gave us multiple POV’s。 There is nothing more that I enjoy more in fantasy adventure novels than the ability of being a part of all the action， especially when things are happening simultaneously in different parts of the world， as well as， getting to know the characters and their thoughts on the deepest possible level。 Anyhow， giving us multiple points of view， also means that the book， which was supposed to concentrate on the life of Nikolai Lantsov， didn’t have nearly enough Nikolai in it， for my liking。 On a more positive note， I really learned to appreciate Zoya， if anything， I would say that just in a matter of a few chapters， she became my favorite character of the book。 She has a very strong， unapologetic personality。 And I truly think that if Zoya would have been a character released in a fantasy book 30 years ago， she would be dragged by other， secondary characters， for being a bitch or would be downgraded to a strong， but spiteful character or even a villain。 But in this book， Zoya and her non compromising attitudes are being celebrated。 While she is not perceived as kind or loving， she is respected by her friends for being loyal and brave and for having clear， unselfish goals and motivations。 Moreover， when I got a glimpse to her past， I fell for Zoya even more， as I understood her better than I understood any of the other Shadow and Bones characters。 The only somewhat negative thing I could （and I guess should） point out about this book is that the first half of the book is rather slow。 When reading Leigh Bardugo books， I’m used to super fast pace， the never ending adventure， the constant surprise。 I’m used to having to sit on the edge of my seat， not knowing what’s going to happen next。 And yet， the first half of the King of Scars， felt like an eternity to read。 And when I think about things that happened in that half of the book， I can’t really see anything that could not be covered during the first 50 pages。 Which was honestly a bit of a disappointment， as I was already starting to think that the whole book will be just like that。 I was so happy to be wrong。 I adored the ending of the book。 Once the action picked up， it never settled down again。 When reading， I was worried， I was creeped out and most of all， I was very much entertained。 Now that I’m puting King of Scars back on the shelf， I can say with certainty that I will not be able to relax until I get to read how this story continues with Rule of Wolves。 。。。more

Nikolai， Nina， The Darkling， Matthias。 These are my favorite characters from the Grisha universe。 I was excited to read this book because two of the storylines it followed were Nikolai and Nina。Most of the way through， at the beginning definitely， I was bored。 I felt like I had to force myself to read。 But there were still those scenes with Nikolai。 And I just love him。 But even Nina’s storyline wasn’t holding my attention。But that ending！ That ending made up for it all！ I am super excited （mayb Nikolai， Nina， The Darkling， Matthias。 These are my favorite characters from the Grisha universe。 I was excited to read this book because two of the storylines it followed were Nikolai and Nina。Most of the way through， at the beginning definitely， I was bored。 I felt like I had to force myself to read。 But there were still those scenes with Nikolai。 And I just love him。 But even Nina’s storyline wasn’t holding my attention。But that ending！ That ending made up for it all！ I am super excited （maybe I shouldn’t be， but here we are） for Rule of Wolves。 I cannot wait！I could almost give this book 5 stars just for that ending。 But I can’t bring myself to do it because of all the trudging I had to do through the beginning。 But that ending！Seriously！ The end！ 。。。more

I'm gonna be honest， it's been a while since I've read Shadow and Bones， so， I found I couldn't remember all of Alina's companions。 But， as the story went on I managed to place the important ones。 The plot was also interesting。 The demon inside Nikolai is plaguing him and naturally he has to act。 Therefore， with the help of Zoya， he sets out to find a cure。 All the while， trying to figure out how to beat his neighbors or stop them from invading Ravka。 The love Nikolai has for Ravka is very palpa I'm gonna be honest， it's been a while since I've read Shadow and Bones， so， I found I couldn't remember all of Alina's companions。 But， as the story went on I managed to place the important ones。 The plot was also interesting。 The demon inside Nikolai is plaguing him and naturally he has to act。 Therefore， with the help of Zoya， he sets out to find a cure。 All the while， trying to figure out how to beat his neighbors or stop them from invading Ravka。 The love Nikolai has for Ravka is very palpable。 He loves Ravka like a parent would a child and I started to respect him a lot as a leader。 Zoya， also， has her own emotional journey。 She feels great regret and confusion for his love of the Darkling。 There are also traumas in her childhood that explains why Zoya is the way she is。 I felt much closer to her after reading her story。 I， also， enjoyed how she wasn't nice and she wasn't sorry for it。 There's so much stigma about women with an attitude that it was so liberating to read about a character， who， unabashedly， embraces her "unpopular" personality。I warmed to Nikolai even more after he kept saying how much he enjoyed that aspect about her。 He never complains about how hard around the edges Zoya is and in fact he appreciates it。 Confident men that aren't intimidated but strong women， are just。。。 sigh！The growing relationship between Zoya and Nikolai is adorable， too。 The companionship they show each other and the way they lean on each other is very endearing。 Their banters are very fun to read， as well。 You have emissaries to manages these matters of state，" Zoya had argued， "ambassadors， underlings。""The public may forget how handsome I am。""I doubt it。 Your face is on the money。" Nina， I think， is amazing。 It wasn't enough to fall in love with a Fjerdan and change his mind about the Grisha， now she wants to save all of Fjerdan from prejudice。 It was beautiful to read about her journey。 And about how she took her grief and molded it into something that's going to change the world。Her budding romance interest was very surprising since she is （view spoiler）[ Brum's daughter。 Like okay that's a plot twist。 Really， Brum's gonna go ballistic when he realizes that Nina Zenik not only has scarred him for life， seduced his adopted son， but she has also bewitched his daughter。 Can we all give Nina a clap and ask Kaz Brekker's thoughts on this？ （hide spoiler）]。 Haha！ 。。。more
