Rule of Wolves was one of my favorite Grishaverse books. I was not expecting to like this book as much as the Crows duology but I really did.
Where sometimes multi POV's can create slow chapters, everyone's story was so compelling and they were woven together so nicely. 
The easter eggs of

all the previous favorite characters was a really nice tie-in, and I hope desperately that that doesn't mean she's saying an official goodbye to the universe.

For me, this book was an emotional roller coaster. Love the character development, how everything worked out in the end (in ways I never expected)! 

It left you on a slight cliffhanger where the author has the option too write where she left off if she chooses too. Amazing book, amazing series, amazing author!

Rule of Wolves is a book that deals heavily with themes of war, grief, self-discovery, and acceptance. With drama and action in every chapter the book follows five individual perspectives through the quest for peace in Ravka. While it has more heavy than celebratory moments, the book still manages to champion themes of love and healing. Cinematic in it's scale, it is a book that is easy to get lost in, and as with previous Bardugo books, the ending both brings the story to a satisfying conclusion and leaves the door open for further adventures for a varied and diverse cast of characters.
