So at the end of King of Scars (the first book in this duology) Leigh Bardugo made a decision that left me very, very torn and I thought I’d have to read the second in order to see if she justifies it.
And well it’s read.
And I’m still torn.
SPOILERS FOR KING OF SCARS BELOW!!!
So I put off writing anything about this book because of the ending but now with the sequel (Rules of Wolves) coming out Tuesday I think I can talk about that ending and the fact that while I loved the whole book…
I think it might have killed it for me.
SPOILERS BELOW OBVIOUSLY!
Okay I was not ready for the Shadow and Bone trailer to drop today!
So at least after Wanda ends while waiting for Loki I’m going to get a nice little dose of a Darkling Spring!
Netflix finally announced a Shadow and Bone date!
So we have some casting news about the Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows series coming to Netflix and it looks really good. But it does lead to probably my biggest personal hang- up in YA fantasy casting adaptations.
King of Scars
By: Leigh Bardugo
Grade: A
King of Scars was in my top three most anticipated books of 2019 and it didn’t let me down! Though that ending…
Just a warning there are spoilers in here for the Shadow and Bone trilogy and for Six of Crows (especially in terms of fatalities in those books.) So if you were planning on reading them and don’t want to be spoiled don’t read this.
I also think you probably should read, at least the Shadow and Bone books, if you want to to get the full feeling of King of Scars.
I finish the whole of the Shadow and Bone series this month! I didn’t love it but I am really excited about a Netflix series to come. Holy crap. Nikolai and the Darkling are going to get cast…
And I’m going to realize how wrong my head canon was because I always age people up but that’s a story for another time. This is about what did I learnt from my journey in the Grisha-verse.
Spoilers!
