About this listen
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.

Story
It was supposed to be easy: find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done. For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

A decent finish to a good trilogy
Ruin and Rising was a decent book. I don't think this was the the strongest book of the trilogy but it came with some twists and turns. I do feel like the ending was rushed and there could have been a little more background and history provided that would have given a bit more foreshadowing to the ending and also provided that "ah ha" moment when the ending unfolds. The Shadow and Bone books were the first Leigh Bardugo books I have read/listened to and it certainly makes me interested in exploring the other books Leigh has written in this same universe.
The narration by Lauren Fortgang was really good and I really enjoyed the way she voiced the characters and ensured that each character had a unique and memorable sound without straining or sounding silly.

An alright ending to a good story
Again, I think Fortgang needs to be commended for her excellent performance, and I enjoy Bardugo’s creative universe. However, I found this book instalment to be the least engaging.
Spoilers ahead:
I also didn’t like how, after all of her work to learn of and control her power, Alina loses it all. Rather anticlimactic and disappointing.
But, counter to many other complaints I have been reading, I actually liked that Mal was Alina’s one, true love. I think people were projecting their own attraction preferences onto the story in saying they thought Nikolai should have ended up with Alina.

witty banter queen
I took a break from this series and never found time to read this last one so I finally gave up on actually reading it and just got the audiobook and I'm SO glad I did. the narrator was fantastic and I forgot how much I love leigh bardugos writing! she is a queen at inserting witty banter and making me laugh when all seems lost in her worlds.

Best book of the series! Voices a but off, but ...
Otherwise, it was excellent! Book 1 was great, book 2 wasn't my favorite, but book 3 made up for book 2. definitely recommend.
