This book kept my attention so well. I loved going between the stories (even if it was hard to have a pause on one story to continue the other). AND THAT ENDING?! I couldn‘t believe & I can‘t believe it‘s not over. Part of me is grieving the fact that the end of my journey to the Grishaverse is coming to an end while the other part is ecstatic that I‘ve been able to see so many different parts of this world. I can‘t wait to see how it ends.

Strangely, I've been able to get some reading time in while looking after my baby nephew. 😮 After months of being in a reading slump, I find myself looking for a book to read every time I'm free lately. 😌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ only reason 4 stars is because I did find myself wanting to skip some of the POV chapters to get back to Nikolai and Zoya. And can I just say I ❤️❤️❤️ Nikolai and really hope they get him right in the second season of Shadow and Bone. It was nice catching up with my Nina❤️ and I love all the mentions of the Crows. You can really tell they are the authors favorite characters too.

persephone1408 I think the guy playing Nikolai will do him justice. We all super ❤❤❤❤❤ King Nikolai 13mo

Currently reading King of scars by Leigh Bardugo.
I have read all her books including the latest Hellbent and Ninth House. Nikolai‘s duology were the only ones not read yet. And since Shadow and Bone season 2 releases 16th March, i thought I might as well update myself on Nikolai‘s story.

Ultimately, I ended up liking this but it took a while. I felt like the beginning was really slow and I nearly gave up but I had to find out what happens with Nina so I kept with it. I enjoyed the second part of the book a lot more. I especially liked Isaak‘s chapters as well as Nina‘s which was surprising considering Nikolai was one of my favourite characters in the original trilogy.

Today hasn‘t really gone to plan but at least I‘ve found myself reading in two different libraries so I‘ll count that as a win! I‘m finally trying to make some progress in the tagged book but it‘s slow going.

This is my year of reading Grishaverse! The first book in the Nikolai duology was fun, plus it was great to have POV from Nina and Zoya. I already liked Nikolai but this book gave him more depth and nuance and made him more interesting. Nina‘s storyline felt a little disconnected from the rest, but it made for enjoyable spy-themed B plot.

My favorite book beginning with the letter "K" is King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo. Two other books are worth mentioning: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas and The King by J. R. Ward.

2. Yes I am far too influenced by the cover.

This was a fun continuation of the grishaverse. It had a slow start, but the last third had me hooked. I would put this on par with the original trilogy, but not as good as The Crows duology. I look forward to the next book. 4⭐️

Actually listened to the Audiobook while cleaning for Thanksgiving. My friend loaned me her print copy which was nice so I could refer to map.

I miss the Gang from 6 of Crows. They did get a mention: "She wished she had Inej‘s gift for spywork or Kaz‘s gift for scheming, but she only seemed to have Jesper‘s gift for bad decisions."

But this was quite the adventure. What an ending! ?

I‘m enjoying this series but the last three books in the series are the best, at least for me. This particular one was a little slow at the beginning but last half part was full of action, twists and with funny parts as always. I‘m still love more Nina parts/story. It is a fantasy with “witches” and “monsters” but I think is an amazing YA story.
This edition has gold sprayed edges😍

This next book in Leigh Bardugo‘s series didn‘t disappoint. It‘s good to be back with many old characters from Shadow and Bone, especially Nikolai and the crew. The character development is 👌🏽 More importantly, I‘m excited to see Zoya find her path as a Grisha.
The only downside is I felt the story dragged in Nina Zenik‘s perspective. Maybe it‘s nostalgia but I had to stop myself from skipping them.

Rating: 4/5

I liked this book almost as much as I liked Six of Crows. As much as I liked the Shadow and Bone trilogy these last 2 duologies feel so much richer in character development and story. I loved all of the different storylines and how they worked together. I'm excited for the second book to see how it all ends.

#ConflictedWorlds Day 3: #PersonVsSelf with Nikolai battling his inner monster. How comforting to slip into the casual bantering between Nikolai and Zoya once again, to finally learn what it means to be right smack in the middle of the making at the heart of the world, the nature of amplifiers (this was just so brilliantly conceived), to have gods come alive and direct the fate of humankind (Grisha and non-Grisha alike). https://wp.me/pDlzr-nuD

I loved the theme of accepting the good and bad parts of yourself. The writing was so much better than the original trilogy. And I was excited to see Nina again.
Overall, I feel like we didn‘t get enough time with the characters. I also didn‘t like the way the plot was going towards the end. Without spoilers, all I will say is that they are calling to something in the original trilogy instead of bringing in a unique roadblock. .

Finishing out this gloomy Memorial Day weekend with a #bookandbath. I was trying to finish up this book over the weekend, but it‘s 8 pm and I‘m still only at 65%, so that doesn‘t seem likely before I need to go to sleep. Still going to enjoy a relaxing bath to soothe my bad back and enjoy this book.

I can't... This book was too much. It was so exiting and there were so many things happening at the same time. I am very exited to start the next book because this book left me on a cliffhanger that is unimaginable. The book started off with a slow increase causing it to bore you a bit, but it certainly get's intriguing later on! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

King of Scars | Leigh Bardugo

“What is power without someone to wield it over? I have lived in isolated splendor for too many lifetimes. What is it to be a god without worship? A queen without subjects? I was the witch in the wood, the queen on her throne, the goddess in her temple. I will be once more. I will savor fear and desire and awe again.”

Despise your heart. A Shu saying. Do what has to be done. He knew
how he was supposed to reply, the way a Shu soldier would reply, maybe
the way a king would reply: 'Niweh sesh.' I have no heart

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continuing through the Grishaverse, this was the first book that wasn‘t a reread for me, and I really liked it! It took me a little while to get into it, and not to continue to blame things on the baby, but I‘m tired, y‘all 😂

Anyway - I liked the characters we got to revisit, almost all of them are from previous books, and I especially enjoyed Zoya‘s point of view. Can‘t wait to see how Bardugo wraps this all up!

BookmarkTavern What a gorgeous cover! 💕 3y
Kimberlone I am finishing up my reread of Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom after reading the Shadow & Bone series for the first time, and I am super excited to read King of Scars next. Nikolai was one of my favorite parts of the original trilogy! 3y
