Solid Conventional Fantasy with YA Elements
This novel accurately portrays events one might expect to occur in a mythical nation at war. Leigh Bardugo's world is populated by a magical strain of humans (the Grisha) that are used as military weapons.. willingly in Ravka, forcibly (otherwise condemned as "witches") in other kingdoms. In this novel: alliances are formed and betrayed, spies scheme for assets, Grisha fight with magic, mechanized armies clash, and evil forces take advantage of chaos. Bardugo drives an engrossing plot at a breakneck pace to weave interesting plotlines into a realistic picture of a believable world at war. This book is great for fans of genuine immersive fantasy.
It should be noted that the author still adheres to YA Fantasy patterns - fans of that genre will still be gratified - but the results are mixed. The frustrated Zoya-Nikolai attraction makes sense in the context of the overall plot, for example - even adding convincing tension to the overall story - but the Nina-Hanne lesbian attraction/transsexual character plotline feels like tacked-on "woke" sensibilities added for the sake of being added. 'Young Adult' plotlines can both strengthen and weaken a story, and Bardugo demonstrates that in this book.
Lauren Fortang is much-improved in this 'Grishaverse' effort. Her character voices are well-chosen, accents are appropriately subdued (while still distinctive), and pronunciations are excellent. The sibilance from earlier Bardugo novels has unfortunately returned to some extent (avoid headphones, reader), but the upgrades outnumber the downgrades. The most notable improvement in this particular narrative is that her usually plodding pacing has improved to "spot-on" status. Well done.
This book isn't perfect. Besides some of the contrived elements and cringeworthy "s"s in the narration, reading 'King of Scars' is essential to understanding this book (and that one is best enjoyed if you have read the 'Shadow and Bone' series)..
this has little standalone merit.
..but this much more mature fantasy novel set in Bardugo's ingeniously-crafted world is undeniably good - easily rating 4 stars out of 5. Spend the Credit and lose yourself in some quality fantasy!!

GUYS 😭👏🏼😍
So this has officially become my favorite book that Leigh has written. 😭😍 It has taken over as reigning champ from the Six of Crows duology and fully captured my heart. The first book was awesome but this one was just freaking beautiful. Seeing everyone come together from past books made me so giddy I could hardly contain myself. It was a ride of emotions and the ENDING?! Ugh just amazing. But also not only was it just a fantastic book but let’s give it up for Lauren Fortgang because she rocked it and is absolutely is one of my favorite narrators. All around 10 outta 10 y’all. 👏🏼👏🏼

All is forgiven, Ms. Bardugo
For those like me, who loved The Six of Crows duology but only liked Shadow and Bone as it moved away from Alina’s story and, towards, well, anyone else, this conclusion to King of Scars is fantastic. While there’s still not enough of Kaz’s crew, there’s at least more than before, and a small heist for old times sake. Also, finally the action, steam punk, and twists are on full display. Finally!
Were there some off points? Perhaps. Not sure I buy the way things ended with the Darkling. And it does feel like most of the characters’ endings were written to please the fans, rather than to provide a plausible endings to all three series in the “we always get the short end of the stick” Grishaverse. But, on the whole, I was a little wrecked, somewhat surprised and ultimately well satisfied with this ending.

Parts of it are amazing
The A plot of this book is absolutely incredible. Everything with Zoya and Nikolai is utterly perfect and amazing. The B plot with Nina and eventually the C plot with Tamar and D plot with the Darkling are incredibly boring and I spent every second of all three of them just waiting to get back to the A plot. Too many stories going on at once with almost nothing interesting in them to justify so many splits in the plot. You could cut out Tamar and Mayu’s perspective of the C plot and The Darkling’s perspective of the D plot from the book and the book would be literally no different 🤷🏻♂️.

Wonderful conclusion!
I totally loved this Duology and even better, even though the ending is quite satisfying, the last sentence allows for future stories in this universe, which makes me happy! Although I never finished the first trilogy (which I am remedying as I type), I enjoyed the character development in this story so much that I now want to go back and read the trilogy from the beginning, if only so I can learn more about the back story of Nikolai, as well as Zoya and the rest of the Grisha who were enslaved by the Darkling. And yes, I want to learn more about the Darkling. Alina is probably one of the least interesting characters for me, but I definitely want to understand her more and figure out how she arrived at the position she is in this Duology. This is completely spoiler-free, so I don't want to include any specifics, but Zoya was probably my favorite character in this series and I loved the tone/accent that Lauren Fortgang did whenever she voiced Zoya's words. I found myself laughing, cheering her on, and crying for her throughout the book!
It took longer for me to get sucked into Nina's story for this series, but once I did, I was totally cheering her on. My heart broke every time she talked about Matthais, but it was also interesting to find out more about why he was so unusual for his country. I absolutely loved how things ended up for her, but as I got sucked into her part of the story, there were quite a few times when I waited for the other shoe to drop. There were so many other "supporting" characters that I loved, including Hanne, Mayu Kir-Kaat, Genya, David, Tolya, and Tamar. Even Kaz and Inez make an appearance. This duology absolutely renewed my interest in this Universe, so as I said, I'm starting Shadow and Bone shortly and will reread the Six of Crows Duology when I finish. Perhaps I did this out of order (Grisha purists might yell at me), but when I found myself getting kind of bored with Alina, I just stopped reading the first trilogy. And although I obviously missed some of the backstories in this duology, I didn't feel like I missed anything and it ended up renewing my interest. My favorite thing about Bardugo is how well she connects the multiple threads and the interesting characters that she creates and it is obvious to me that she is continuing to grow and improve as an author. I am crossing my fingers that at some point she writes more stories for this universe, but for now, I'm hoping she'll continue with the Ninth House series because I loved that one as well!

So much going on it made the plot weak; need more narrators
Lauren Fortgang is an excellent narrator. However I appreciate having different narrators for a multiple POV book.
This is the seventh novel in the Grishaverse. Badugo does an excellent job of weaving in storylines from the other series and supplemental material. I love the feeling of familiarity and nostalgia.
This duology just didn’t hold my attention. I only read it for one side returning character.
Some plot/scene decisions just don’t make sense.

Perfect. Everything and more
I love this book, I love this author, I love this narrator. If you’ve listened to shadow and bone and were apprehensive about continuing into this duology, don’t be. The continuity of Lauren Forgangs performance throughout the multiple Bardugo series’ adds to the overall story telling. I cannot recommend anything more than this book. That’s that.

This was everything & more
No one else in my life reads these books so if there is anyone who has a book club or a discussion board of some type that would enjoy chatting about the Grishaverse series...I am eager to join you.
This book exceeded my expectations just like every other book she has written, I keep saying there is no way they can get better. But Bardugo proves me wrong time and time again. Fortgang is the golden thread that ties everything together. Please read all of her series of you haven’t. It’s worth it. 10 THUMBS UP!!

Pleasantly Surpried
I wont include spoilers because the twists were an important part of my enjoyment of this book (and the series) but I will say that this book is strong addition the the Grishaverse as a whole. I think fans of the series will find it very satisfying.
Im judging this book based on it being categorized as YA. So there are elements geared toward that demographic that may irk me but since Im not the target audience I will give them a pass.
The narrator Lauren Fortgang was, as usual, spot on. She has a wonderful talent for delivering a multitude of distinguished voices with flawless transitions. Im guessing credit also goes to whoever is editing. Well done.

Boring battle tactics and lacks KOS charm
If you like boring war room talk and trite character development, then this is the book for you. ZOYA LEARNS TO LUV, wowie. I blanched when that was the climax that saves Ravka. It feels like Leigh Bardugo really coasted when she wrote this.
Lauren Fortgang does her best, but I think January Lavoy (narrator of Libba Bray's The Doviber series) has ruined all other audiobooks for me.
