RUIN & RISING… It’s Almost Here!

February 14, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

Maybe you’re new here… maybe you just haven’t been paying attention. Either way, today We’re going to share a bit of love for Leigh Bardugo and her amazing Grisha Series.  This book introduced me to the genre of fantasy and I couldn’t thank Leigh more for that.  


What we said about Shadow and Bone (book 1)

Jaime – The plot was incredibly done, the characters were wonderfully written and the story will pull you in and when you get to the last page you’ll be looking for more. If you are a fantasy lover, this book is a must read, and if you’re not … well read it anyway because it’s going to make you a fan of the genre for sure.

Erin – The world created in this story is amazing. I don’t know how authors do it as I lack the level of creativity and imagination to develop this but…wow.

What we said about Siege and Storm (book 2)

Jaime – This book will give you the sweet swoons, the epic flails and the heart pounding action. It will give you incredible characters who are written with such detail and care and it will give you an incredible story to delve into, losing yourself in the world of Alina and the country of Ravka. 

Erin – Trust me when I say that this series is by far one of the best out there and you should get started reading it immediately – if you haven’t already. 

So… as you might gather, to say we are excited for Ruin and Rising, would be an incredible understatement.   Maybe you’ve seen some of these fun quotes being tweeted and posted all over the place and I absolutely love the tagline for this! 
Today, We want to tell you the top three reasons you should be reading this series!

1. The Darkling – never have I ever felt so completely conflicted about a character in my life.

I blame Bardugo for my questionable love for this guy… he’s evil… BUT he’s so compelling and mysterious and evil and dangerous and we can’t help but be a little bit obsessed with him.

But I suppose it isn’t fair to focus only on The Darkling, because some of our favorite literary characters are in this series. Alina, Mal and Sturmond are epic in their own rights and we can’t wait to see what Bardugo has in store for them. 

2. The writing – There is magic in the words that Bardugo puts on the page and each one is a masterpiece carefully crafted to ruin you for all other authors…  or at least make you flail and swoon. 

3.  The plot and world that Bardugo has created is so original and evocative and thoroughly well written.  It is so easy to connect with the story and the characters and it is so incredibly unique and intriguing.  I’m almost running out of verbs to use to describe it all.  


So if you haven’t started this, then please, please, please go now and pick these books up.  I promise that you will fall in love with these characters and the story and the world that Bardugo has created.
