Rule of Wolves (King of Scars Book 2)

What can I say? I loved this duology, and I'm so sad I've finished the second book, and I'm going to miss all of its characters. I've fallen in love with Zoya, Nina, Nikolai, Hanne, and I'm a bit bereft of their company now!I wouldn't advise diving in, but would say you should start with the first book of the first trilogy, Shadow And Bone.Ravka, Fjerda, and the other nations in this world are very real places to me, something I've only experienced as fully as this with Westeros. There's history, there's depth, there's politics. But it's always driven by character, by the story of individuals, and their plots, heartaches, and triumphs.The first trilogy lacks a certain depth, I'll admit, but when taken as a whole...?Go and get lost in the Grishaverse.

This was a unexpectedly emotional ending to the king of scars series a two part story set in the Grishaverse a Russian inspired fantasy world. Redemption and forgiveness were the themes and the story delivered. Long term fans, and it should go without saying this isn’t the place for newbies to start, will find much toadore character arcs come to completion and a satisfying ending is given even as the future is set up.Fan favourite characters return even if there is the trade Mark bardugo bitter sweetness going on as not every character meets a happy fate or how not every villain is brought to justice.I couldn’t help but feel that the story is coming to a Crossroads even as further adventures are set up . Confident, well written and assured this was a fantastic highlight in the Grishaverse the fun and action was there as always but there was perhaps even more heart then normal, so rather then spoil I will just heartily recommend happy reading.

I read King of Scars and Rule of Wolves back to back, some time after last reading all the Grishaverse novels. I was immediately drawn back into Leigh Bardugo’s wonderfully drawn world and back into the lives of the characters who inhabit it. When I first met Nikolai in a previous novel I was immediately drawn to him and getting to know him better, the demon king did not disappoint. The themes of love, strength and redemption run tightly through both books but never over-dramatised. She has an understated way of expressing her character’s strong feeling. Nina is a phenomenal character. I really enjoyed getting to know Zoya better too and also good to have a visit to our friends in ketterdam. A terrific return to the universe as I gear up for the Netflix series and well worth reading. Look forward to the next one

I have loved everything Leigh Bardugo has written. In spite of the fact it is clearly a 'fantasy' series, the characters are completely and utterly believable. They are rounded and have real depth. Brilliant writing. I am desperate for her to write a spin off about Princess Ehri Kir-Taban - I think she has a story in her for sure..

Of all the names mentioned in thanks at the end of the book whichever one was the proofreader did a rubbish job because the amount of typos in this book is rediculous. I stopped reporting them after a time because there were just too many. I dont know if it is just in the e-book version or even only in the kindle version but I am seriously disappointed with paying £9.99 for this book. None of her other books have been like this and none of the other books cost me this much!Story is good though as always.

Brilliant work as Leigh Bardugo grows into storytelling mastery. She’s captured my heart in a way only a handful of authors have done in 50 years of reading fantasy. I can’t wait for her next book... please don’t miss your chance to enter the Grishaverse

Having read all the previous Grishaverse books Rule of Wolves is the perfect finale.Beautifully written with beloved characters returning to finish their stories, I loved it but I am bereft that it is over!

I would like to know will there be another book of Grishaverse.
