Ruin and Rising - Leigh Bardugo

“Thanks for the rescue."

"Everyone needs a hobby."

"I thought yours was preening."

"Two hobbies.”

The breakdown: Strong female lead + supernatural fight scenes + will they won’t they

Reminds me of: Part 3 of pretty much any epic trilogy, so Jedi, Mockingjay, etc. (Don’t get annoyed at me, that’s literally how epic works.)

Best advice: Start at the beginning of the series or you’ll probably be irritated.

What to look forward to: Characters you actually care about; well plotted action sequences.
