Why read it?

1 author picked Ruin and Rising as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Ruin and Rising is a worthy conclusion to the Shadow and Bone series. I actually read Book #2 as well in 2024, but I liked Book #3 better. Alina and Mal are heartbreakingly realistic and complex characters. The settings, whether stark or elegant, are richly described. I love the twists and turns of the plot, always in suspense about how events might impact Alina. This book was a deeply satisfying read, and I look forward to tackling Six of Crows next!
