Was für eine bodenlose Enttäuschung!

Mich hat das Buch so aufgeregt, dass ich nur bis Seite 350 gelesen habe. Dann habe ich das Ende auf Wikipedia und daraufhin nur noch die letzten 40 Seiten gelesen. Das Buch hat sich einfach endlos gezogen und sich in unwichtigen Details und Handlungssträngen verloren, die im Endeffekt allesamt im Sande verlaufen. Jedes Buch von Leigh Bardugo wäre mit einigen Kürzungen 100 mal besser, aber bei "Rule of Wolves" dachte ich mir bei fast jedem Kapitel: "Ok, und weshalb soll mich jetzt das interessieren?" Es gab auch viel zu viele POVs und ich konnte viele der Figuren nicht auseinander halten. Bloß anhand der verschiedenen Orte, an denen sie sich aufhalten, konnte ich überhaupt unterscheiden, aus wessen Sicht gerade geschrieben wird.

Ich kann einfach nicht fassen, dass Leigh Bardugo mit diesem Buch quasi ihre gesamte ursprüngliche Grischa-Trilogie umschreibt und verschandelt. Ich persönlich fand das originale Ende …

Great characters and writing. Good resolutions to things, while still laying groundwork for further books in the setting.

As for my concerns stemming from the previous volume:
I still think bringing back the Darkling was a mistake, but the handling of his character and fate in this book was largely well done, to the point of partially redeeming that mistake.

I'm having the time of my life in the GrishaVerse right now^^

I caaaant believe the superiority of Zoya being literally a Queen, Nina too i really enjoyed her chapters more in this sequel. All the characters from the GrishaVerse appearing in one book i can't, even if I would have liked more of some, it's such a treat. Nikolai is the best as always, the politics were on point, we got more Shu, more Suli, more Fjerda...
And I actually can't believe that Aleksander is really being set up on a redemption arc, can't wait to see what will happen in the next crows book !!
