This definitely feels like the end of the series, with surprise guest appearances by fan favorites from other books. These books truly create an entire world, full of diverse countries, cities, religions, and people who grow and change based on what has happened in previous books. Seeing where some of these characters, especially Zoya, began made me appreciate where they ended up all the more. I read this during the same period of time as I watched the new Netflix show, Shadow and Bone, based on Bardugo’s first Grishaverse novel. Told from King Nikolai, General Zoya, and Spy Nina’s perspectives (as well as a couple others that are delicious but aren’t to be spoiled), we get to see the little country that could defend itself and fight for Grisha lives against all odds. Fjerda to the north is openly moving toward war, while Shu Han to the south and Kerch from the sea are more circumspect but no less dangerous.

Ravka, as always, is the tiny country desperately trying to fend off their more powerful neighbors. Or watch a nation fall.Įxciting from start to finish, Rule of Wolves takes our monstrous heroes into the depths of subterfuge and war where they will make hard decisions and costly mistakes…in addition to some rip-roaring plot twists due to behind the scenes machinations. Spy. Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart. The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its capital. Now duty demands she embrace her powers to become the weapon her country needs. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend. The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to war. But a dark threat looms that cannot be defeated by a young king’s gift for the impossible. The Demon King. As Fjerda’s massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm-and even the monster within-to win this fight. The wolves are circling and a young king will face his greatest challenge in the explosive finale of the instant #1 New York Times-bestselling King of Scars Duology. The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series!
