If opener Shadow and Bone was a magical coming-of-age story and middle-volume Siege and Storm was a political thriller, then this third book is an epic quest. . . Every time readers may think she's written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.” ?Kirkus Reviews, starred review on Ruin and Rising“Set in a fascinating, unique world rich with detail, Shadow and Bone was unlike anything I've ever read.” ?Veronica Roth, New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone“Mesmerizing. . . . This is what fantasy is for.” ?New York Times Book Review on Shadow and Bone“Romantic and magical . . . Plenty of plot twists and betrayals kept us enjoying this richly crafted adventure until the very last page. (P.S. A do-not-miss for fans of Graceling.)”?Justine magazine, on Shadow and Bone“A heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure.” ?Rick Riordan, author of the bestselling Percy Jackson series, on Siege and Storm
