King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

lorddddd okay… first…of all… great goodness. i stand for it when i say that nikolai is literally kaz’s cousin like that man… OOOFFF also the dualities between his, zoya’s and nina’s povs is so entertaining and downright depressing. you got nikolai and zoya’s banter and them fighting inside within themselves their affection for one another (zoyalai.), and then there’s nina’s chapters which are shredded in despair and grief because she can’t let mathias go…. i just cant.

i also was impartial to zoya & now…yeah she’s a warrior & reminds me of my oc in my story…also interested to know how her knew “affiliation”…is gonna go bc my girly TRANSFORMEDDDD OOOF

nina and hanne??? YESS. GOD YESSS. I APPROVE. I SHIP. I LOVE. they’re so funny & nina’s subtle & secret flirting & pinning??? MY LOVELY IS SO PROUD OF HANNE’S TRANSFORMATION HEHEHE

all in all…i’m not gonna lie…it was a bit slow in the beginning and the middle & the direction it went to..i wasn’t expecting but wasn’t disappointed either. juris & grigori’s little bear cub servant <3 so yeah. 3.5/5 from me & im so excited to read rule of wolves tonight despite reading a sliver of the ending while i was reading crooked kingdom…but now that i read king of scars…i’m so intrigued to see how it goes. LETSSS GOOO ALMOST DONE W THE GRISHAVERSE & I CANNOT BE MORE RELIEVEDDD (but it’s gonna be bittersweet bc this series has kept me sane since february).
