merinereads's review against another edition
5.0
Ein weiteres fesselndes und gelungenes Buch aus dem Grishaverse!
Besonders gefreut habe ich mich, Nina als Erzählerin wiederzusehen, aber auch die neuen Erzählenden Nikolai und Zoya mochte ich sehr. Gerade Zoya gefiel mir als Figur unglaublich gut und sie hatte meiner Meinung nach auch das krasseste Development. Generell mochte ich auch den trockenen Humor der Geschichte wieder sehr gerne, welcher mich schon bei den Krähen begeistert hat.
Ich fand es sehr schön, sowohl alte als auch neue Erzählstränge zu behalten, auch wenn die Fortsetzung von Ninas Geschichte mich emotional etwas zerstört und zu Tränen gerührt hat. Ich liebe es, wie die Autorin es schafft Lesende emotional so mitzunehmen und mit den Figuren mitfühlen zu lassen!
Generell bin ich sehr gespannt, wie die Reihe jetzt weitergeht, da es am Ende einen großen Plottwist und ein riesiges neues Problem für die Charaktere gibt. Außerdem hoffe ich, dass noch mehr von den Krähen auftauchen.

Torn right now between 3.5 and 3.75.
It's Leigh bardugo, and we all know she can't go wrong. This was good too, not my favorite, and of course not as good as [b:Six of Crows|23437156|Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)|Leigh Bardugo|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1618531219l/23437156._SY75_.jpg|42077459] duology.
I am a fan of Leigh's balanced writing; always right amount of humor, drama, fights.
And her characterization, she makes you love every character.
Here first half was too slow, felt like reading the same story again and again.
Zoya was more prominent as a character than Nikolai; I love her, so I didn't mind.
Didn't like where Nina's storyline is going.
I am quite intrigued by the ending, the sequel is here already! Thank God I don't need to wait!

Ho veramente iniziato questo libro con aspettative molto basse perché avevo sentito ogni genere di insulto. Invece, stranamente, mi è piaciuto.
Di sicuro non è all'altezza della dilogia di Sei di Corvi, e neanche del solo libro di Sei di Corvi, ma credo che difficilmente riusciremo a superarlo (perché in tutta onestà lo considero uno dei più bei libri mai letti, insieme al suo sequel, fantasy o non fantasy), ma ha confermato che il vero problema di Tenebre e Ossa, per me almeno, erano proprio Alina (e Mal, ovviamente, non serve che lo dica).
I personaggi secondari di Tenebre e Ossa sono quello che mi ha portato a finire – con somma, immensa, fatica – la trilogia, e ritrovarli qui non ha fatto altro che rinnovare il mio amore per loro (Nikolai in primis, ma anche Zoya e Genya). Sono riuscita a farmi piacere anche i personaggi nuovi, a piangere sui capitoli di Nina (damn Bardugo, that was so unnecessary), a pensare “Oh, ehi! Deve essere questo il plot twist. Ci sono arrivata a metà libro circa, I'm a genius” e a ricredermi nelle ultime, maledette pagine (damn, Bardugo, what in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was that?), a parlare di questo libro con una persona che ha idea di cosa sia il Grishaverse se non che c'è una serie Netflix che probabilmente non vedrà mai.
Quindi sì, mi è piaciuto, un bel cliffhanger finale, non vedo l'ora di scoprire come al Bardugo possa rovinare tutto nel prossimo libro (sempre ammesso che lo faccia davvero).

WELL THEN! Came for Nikolai, stayed for all the converging narratives (also I will say I think the multiple POV was done really well). I knew in my soul it would be a cliffhanger and yet I was still shocked when it was. Going to have to pick up Rule of Wolves next because I don’t know how everything will be “resolved” in one book 🙈

"The monster is me and I am the monster"
Nikolai Lantsov is back, fighting his demons which have multiplied since the Civil War in his world. Nikolai's struggled are a secret, a secret that he intends to keep. His borders have weakened and his enemies are taking over, the King must stop the threat before it gets out of hand. With the help of some of the best Grisha's in Ravka Nikolai will risk everything to save his country and himself.
I am so disappointed by this book. I did not enjoy the Shadow and Bone trilogy, however I absolutely adored the Six of Crows duology. King of Scars just did not excite me. I feel like 500 plus pages for this plot was far too much and I found myself becoming quite bored throughout, I didn't feel my usual drive to pick the book up as I do with other fantasy series.
Zoya is definitely my spirit animal. I hated her in the Shadow and Bone trilogy however in this book I fell in love with her. She has so much sass, but you definitely saw her character grow and saw a completely different side to her. "I'm at my most murderous on an empty stomach" YES ZOYA. I am definitely not the only person to relate to her on this.
Also, there is a dragon. A dragon that talks. Now that is my ideal character. We need more talking dragons in fantasy books please.
I love how Leigh Bardugo develops her characters, you definitely feel connected to them and they are easy to love. However I feel like she really missed a trick with the development of Nina and Nikolai. I don't feel like I saw enough of them and what I did see of them didn't interest me and didn't keep me hooked. I think this is what disappointed me most because I was so excited to read more about Nikolai but just didn't feel content with what the book gave me.
Whilst, I think I more or less guessed the ending I do feel like it was a good ending and it has made me want to pick up the next book. I'm not necessarily excited by it but I am definitely intrigued.
I would recommend you read this book because I do feel like I am in the minority. I do not recommend that you read this book before you read the Shadow and Bone trilogy as there are many references that you will not understand.
