Previous reviews:
Hello! Today I’m reviewing Ruin and Rising, the
third and final book of the Grisha trilogy.
I was hesitant to
continue with the trilogy because I didn’t like Siege and Storm at all, but I
already had the book, so I gave it a try.

| Mal. |
The book starts just
where the second one ended, with Alina weak and defeated hiding from
the
Darkling, she has lost her power and has been undergrounds for a while, so the
book is a bit slow at the beginning but then the pace pick up when Alina, Mal
and company decide to leave the Apparat and look for the help of Nikolai, who
they don’t even know if he’s alive or not.
I know a lot of people
love Nikolai, but I wasn’t fond of him in the previous book. I thought he only
served with the purpose of being a powerful ally to Alina and an obstacle in
her relationship with Mal, but I liked him more in this book, I think his
character developed a lot.
I’ve never been a fan
of Alina, in my fist review I said I liked her because she wasn’t the typical
perfect character, but she became annoying in my opinion, she is kind of
selfish and power hungry, and I felt she created obstacles between her and
others, mainly Mal.
