Unlike anything I've ever read. - Veronica Roth, author of DIVERGENT, on The Grisha Trilogy. It's like THE HUNGER GAMES meets POTTER meets TWILIGHT meets LORD OF THE RINGS meets GAME OF THRONES; basically epic magical fantasy but completely for grown-ups - STYLIST MAGAZINE on THE GRISHA TRILOGY a thunderous conclusion . . . 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 MAGAZINE on RUIN AND RISING (starred review) I stayed up all night reading . . . RUIN AND RISING is my favourite series ending of all time alongside DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS. - GUARDIAN ONLINE on RUIN AND RISING
