So many twists and turns, a slightly slow start but once it picks up it is pretty much non-stop until the end. Tears were shed, books were *almost* thrown at walls, squeals were heard near-constantly while reading, and my face looked pretty much like this →

The second one, Siege and Storm, was pretty much pointless because it basically ends how it starts, but I thought maybe that's just second-book-syndrome, but no.. Ruin and Rising was even worse. A lot of people criticize the pacing and maybe they are right, but I was just glad we weren't waiting around anymore for something to happen like in the previous book. So, that was fine with me. The problem is, what was happening wasn't great and the most irritating thing to me is, I now have more questions than answers, but I don't even care enough to write down all of my issues with it.
In the end I don't hate myself for reading this trilogy, so.. 🤷🏻♀️ I mean, the only reason I picked it up in the first place was the upcoming adaptation, which I learned yesterday, is apparently based on Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows? I guess, that means I know what I am going to read next?? At least I think that's better perceived than the conclusion to this series?? Maybe??? I don't know.. but here's the thing: I actually like the world and the magic system, so my hope is to get a more satisfying plot and - most importantly - good characters out of the Six of Crows and maybe even the King of Scars duologies. We'll see..
