Ruin and Rising

Worthy ending of a great series

I kept putting off finishing this series, partially because I read a spoiler in the Crows duology (or so I thought) and partially because I didn't want it to end.
There is again set backs, fights, and fear. But most importantly the story emphasises friendship and what even a ragtag team can accomplish if the put their differences aside and focus on their shared ideals and goals.
Bardugo also doesn't shy away from including the ugly sides of war concerning the people fighting in it, both physical and mentally.
