Publisher's Summary

The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne.

Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.

Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction - and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for. Ruin and Rising is the thrilling final installment in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy.

Apt end to the triology!

Well narrated. Many characters like genia, zoya, Mal and even the darkling are described with a complexity that is very intricate. Looking forward to other pieces by the author!

underwhelming experience

It went a little underwhelming for me. The plot is weak. Without giving any spoilers i absolutely loved to read about the darkling. He is a fantastic character, well developed. I did not bother about Mal at all. And Nickolai was also okay. Darkling steal the show. The narrator did a tremendous job. It could be better but still highly enjoyable and fast paced.

To all things beautiful

Worth every minute that you'll spend on this book. You'll realise it at the Epilogue.

A bit short but good conclusion

Loved the series. This book felt short but was a decent conclusion to the story. There are a few more things that could have been shrouded in mystery. Anyways if you’ve read/listened to the first two in the series you would want this one too for closure, and the good feel

A decent ending to the series

My only qualm about this book was I didn’t care for the epic love story we are suppose to be rooting for. The love triangle or quad just made me feel icky. The side characters really shined through saving the book for me.
Darkling is a great villain. I didn’t like Alina so much in the last two books.

For every simple girl

This book is mesmerising. The lead character walks , talks and lives like ordinary girl’s imagination. You will live with her and experience her grief and love as if it was yours.
Happy reading

A Tad Bit Disappointing

While the performance is absolutely amazing, the story was a tad bit disappointing.

Spoiler Alert!!

Mal should have stayed dead and Alina should have ended up with the Darkling.
