Book Review: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo (King of Scars Duology Book 2, Grishaverse Book 7)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “They were just the people who had shown up and managed to survive.But maybe that was the trick of it: to survive, to dare to stay alive, to forge your own hope when all hope had run out.”― Leigh Bardugo, Rule of WolvesIt has been a great privilege to read all 7 of Bardugo’s Grishaverse books, and the most recent, Rule of Wolves, was an absolute masterpiece from my perspective. We get to…

Book Review: King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

Book Review: King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

⭐⭐⭐⭐ King of Scars is the sixth book by Leigh Bardugo, set in the brilliantly crafted Grishaverse, and is the first book in the King of Scars Duology. I continue to be impressed with how Bardugo’s writing improves with each new book and it is a wonderful experience for me as an aspiring author.

Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crooked Kingdom was AWESOME! It was full of all the best elements of storytelling and ended in a way that did all the storylines justice. It has twists and turns and was un-put-down-able. Even though there was always something going on, I never felt lost or confused which can sometimes happen with a novel that is so jammed full of content. I LOVE this book and the more I read by Leigh…

Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leigh Bardugo does an awesome job painting the picture of life in the criminal underbelly of the Grishaverse. Unlike the Shadow & Bone Trilogy (which is a great read), this story focuses more on a colorful crew of miscreants who are trying to pull off the ultimate heist, which would allow them each the opportunity to change their fate. I really enjoyed the story (first in a duology). I was…

Book Review- Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (3rd Book in Trilogy)

Book Review- Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (3rd Book in Trilogy)

👍👍👍👍 I really enjoyed this book and I thought it wrapped up the story well. I have really mixed emotions about how it all ended though. It was certainly a clean and tidy ending. I wanted so many things to happen that didn’t which is why I can’t give it the full 5 stars. As far as the writing itself goes, it was entertaining and exciting and I couldn’t put the book down. I read the book in one…

Book Review - Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (Book 2 of Series)

Book Review – Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (Book 2 of Series)

👍👍👍👍👍 My first read of 2022 was the second in Leigh Bardugo’s series, Siege and Storm. I really loved this book. Even more than Shadow and Bone (Book 1 in the series). I read the whole thing in one day (432 pages, a new personal record), I could NOT put it down. The world is rich and while based on Tsarist Russia, still incredibly unique. Even with all the magic and fantasy, the story is…

Book Review - Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Book Review – Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

👍👍👍👍 Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Book 1 in series) was book 31 and my final read of 2021 (Dec 28th, to be exact)! I gave it a rating of 3.5 stars. I had wanted to read this book for a long time (and definitely before watching the Netflix Series). I wasn’t really sure what I was expecting but it was an entertaining read. A richly imagined world of magic (I would have liked to see more),…
