Ruin and Rising

anna_6792 shared a tip "This book was amazing! Great conclusion to this series. I had to hold in my tears throughout the whole book. The ending was nice and I didn't expect it. Great story, and I'll definitely re-read this whole series!"

Freckles_reads shared a tip "Okay this was a lot…and absolutely great! So many plot twists that were VERY unexpected. Mal’s and Alina’s relationship was written especially well in this book.The little lgbtq representation made me really happy. I love how this book can be very serious where people are getting for war and death, but then the next moment they make silly little jokes about something really helps to take off some pressure! Finally, the conclusion was beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for a better ending!"

katelyn_ashley shared a tip "I loved this book so much. I loved Mal and Alina’s relationship throughout this book a lot more that i have for the past couple of books. There are a lot of cool twists that i honestly wasn’t expecting. I think they wrapped it up really well, and i’m happy with the ending… mostly. Honestly my favorite out of the series!! - also i cried several times during this books -"

anna_lucy shared a tip "SPOILERS! The book was a letdown. Such a big build up to getting the three amplifiers and it ended up doing the complete opposite and diminished Alina's power. Although it was an unexpected twist, it didn't provide the satisfaction I had hoped for. I was hoping for a big finale where Alina summoned more light than ever before and managed to overpower the Darkling that way. Killing him with a knife felt too easy, like anyone could have done it but they never tried. It felt like the author ran out of time."

emily_macgrath shared a tip "The ending is so bittersweet. It's so sad but technically the best outcome for the world inside the book. I love the uniqueness and level of creativity. I saw that 3rd amplifier twist coming from the start of Shadow and Bone!"

bailey_rose_fleetwood shared a tip "after finishing this i stared at the ceiling teary-eyed because i got so attached to the characters. i thought it was a great way to end the trilogy."

BrittanyBurns shared a tip "Loved this whole series. Ruin and Rising I finished in less than 24hrs, so good I couldn’t put it down! The plot kept changing, and it kept me up all night!"

christi_norris shared a tip "This book is fantastic. It is a fantasy wonder and the ending is perfect. It leaves you slightly dissatisfied just like real life but the characters all get an ending they deserve."

annette_porcaro shared a tip "Yes a few depending on what you like? I like the Shadowhunters collection by Cassandra Claire, Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo(adult rated), the court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J Maas(adult rated), a stand alone favorite is Second Chance Contract by M. Robinson (adult rated), the Witcher collection by Andrzej Sapkowski was good but last seemed rushed and not well put together, two less known collections were the Everless series by Sara Holland and the Hunter series by Mercedes Lackey"
