      If you explain the Darkling’s life it sounds very weird. Creates a tear in the universe. Gets stranded in the tear in the universe. Survives the tear in the universe. Destroys the tear in the universe. Dies on the tear in the universe. Comes back to life on that tear in the universe. Sacrifices themself to save ✨Ravka✨.

    SPOILERS:
    I think the only issue that I have is the Darkling's role in this book. When he was resurrected and got his powers back, I thought that he was going to be more involved, but he really didn't do anything; he was just THERE lol.
    Also, I don't know how I feel about his sacrifice at the end because if the Darkling was the one destined to get rid of the Fold, then what was the point of Alina?
    Other than that I really enjoyed this book and loved how all of the characters' stories were wrapped up!! Also, we get to read our Crows for the next book!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

    • @ashleyelisabeth4
      @ashleyelisabeth4 3 года назад +6

      @@FullofLit Yeah, I agree 100% Hopefully, in the next book or so, the Darkling will have a larger role because I don't think Bardugo would resurrect him just to have him killed again, you know.
      Leigh did tweet a few years ago that she has a big plans for the future of the Grishaverse and all the books we've read so far is a build up to it so I guess we'll see what she means in the third SOC book!!

    You released this video almost a year before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since the start of the invasion I was really invested in learning a lot about the current events and debates, I read a lot of newspaper articles, and I watch daily updates about the conflict. Having all that knowledge made reading the book just feel so real. A lot of the debates that they had in the book were exactly the same things we've talked about in the last year. Almost everything war-related in this book felt real. I'm not sure what I would have thought about this book, had I read it before the invasion. But reading it now, this book just stood out for me simply because it's so seems so realistic. That's why I was slightly disappointed that you completely brushed over this, but I completely understand. You said that you're not incredibly interested in the war scenes in books, and back when you made this video you didn't have the context we have now. I should say that I'm from Europe, so this conflict feels closer to me than it probably feels to you. I would be interested to know what you think about all these war-related things in the book in the nowadays context, i.e. if you read this book again now what would you think about these parts of the book?

    I bookmarked this video to watch after I finished reading RoW, which I did last night. I loved it! I loved the surprise return of so many characters from the other two series. And Leigh is the queen of the slow burn, and I'm here for it. Kaz & Inej, Nina & Matthias, Jesper & Wylan, Zoya & Nikolai, Nina & Hanne. It's so satisfying when, after reading their internal monologues for so many pages, the characters finally admit their feelings for one another.

  • @patriciamiller3704

    I honestly loved rule of wolves but I agree that with less storylines it would’ve been much better, in fact I think if the darkling and mayu’s povs were taken out this might be an all time favorite for me, mainly because ZOYALAI who allowed them to be that perfect?! And more importantly who allowed leigh to not show us the royal wedding?! I demand a novella😭

  • @ASliceOfPakwan
    @ASliceOfPakwan Год назад

    I just finished reading Rule of Wolves today and wooow, it's definitely Rule of Wolves > King of Scars for me (4.5 vs 4 star ratings). After watching your review, I definitely agree that there was a lot going on (pov and story wise) but it definitely kept me at the edge of my seat after each pov bec Leigh Bardugo literally switches POVs right where the good stuff are about to happen!
    Overall, I'm very thankful to Leigh for giving us the King of Scars duology. I did not expect to enjoy the duology as much as I did, which shows how much Leigh's writing has improved by giving us such complex characters. I initially never understood the Zoya hype but gosh, I fell in love with her through ZoyaLai (which was super unexpected).
    Also, I know that long books (500+ pages) are not everyone's cup of tea, but I definitely wished that Leigh allowed herself to write a total of 700 or even 800 pages for Rule of Wolves to allow her to expand more on certain parts of the book (spoilers below):
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    The Crows part was definitely super rushed, even the Mal and Alina moment. As a reader that prefers character interactions/development > plot, and as much as I love the Darkling as a villain, I feel like Leigh could've left Aleksander dead back when Alina killed him in Ruin and Rising (Shadow & Bone #3). We could've seen more of the Crows and/or Malina if we took out the Darkling's/Monk's POV. I get that he is a famous character from Shadow & Bone but I was honestly hoping that Leigh was going to introduce a *new* morally grey + complex villain character for the King of Scars Duology.
    I also did not expect to love Hanne for Nina after Matthias' death. The part where Zoya brought Nina back to the Leviathan after the big battle scene was basically how I felt for Nina and Hanne throughout the whole duology. I just want Nina to be happy and as much as I loved Matthias, Nina deserves to be happy and I know that Matthias is happy for her too :<

    It's 5 am and i just finished this book and i came running to your video! Love your reactions to grisha-verse! I thought this book was so good!! I enjoyed every second i was reading this i just felt so immersed the world like i could get up and start walking around. It all felt so real to me, maybe because i know this universe and the settings so well already! Also.. Nikolai, Zoya and Nina are iconic legends! But the fact that we get all the other characters that have ever existed in grisha-verse in this book is EVERYTHING!!! And can we talk about that ending???? Leigh leaving it open for another book!!!! exciting!!!

  • @anhdavis6831
    @anhdavis6831 3 года назад +4

    I could not agree with you more. Zoyalai was the ship I never thought I needed but now cannot get enough.
    I remember when Nikolai had proposed to Alina and given her the lantsov emerald, and zoya had joked about if Alina didn’t want it, she would marry Nikolai for her. And I recall Nikolai had made a couple of comments about zoya in the trilogy (I really can’t really details since it’s been a minute I read them) but I remember thinking, they should be a couple. I had not known I was shipping them before it was a thing!!!
    I also love that they are two of the most confident and strong characters in the series (I mean, ya know, in attractiveness and rank), and yet, when it came to each other, there is fear in doubt in the not knowing of how the other felt. Even after they had each other at the end, they still had comments about fear of losing the other. “A part of him was certain that she would simply change her mind about him and that would be the end of it.”
    I love that they see each other for who the other person truly is and still love and accept each other as they are. “There she was, bitter and bracing as strong drink.”
    I could go on and on about how much I love this pairing, but I will just end my novel of a comment with this... “I will always seek to make it summer for you.” *swoon*

    "All that grace, all that body
    All that face makes me wanna party
    She's my sun, she makes me shine like diamonds"

    That's a new experience...normally, I agree with you in every single video (all the period drama stuff, the book reviews, the Bridgerton reactions...). I'm afraid, this time I feel different. I considered KoS to be a huge step back (compared to the SoC duology) and RoW was even worse. Sometimes, this duology felt like a very bad fanfiction and I had this "Somehow Palpatine returned"-feeling. Such a disappointment. I won't take this too long. Guess I will watch some of the rant videos now...to know that there are others that felt like me 😅
