Leigh. Leigh. My heart. It is in pieces. Something went wrong every single chapter and yet you still managed to create one of the best stories I’ve ever read??? You mad woman?
Nikolai to Zoya: Can you pick me up? I’m at a party and there’s someone funnier than me.
I finished Rule of Wolves and it pains me to say it wasn’t that good. I had looked forward to it so much and even though I had concerns with the way KoS ended, I told myself it would all make sense once RoW came out.
Hahahahahahahhahahahaha.
I didn’t hate it. Mostly I was bored and a bit exhausted by the whole thing. Too many random plots. Too many appearances of other characters that were only there for fan service. Too many pov chapters. Not enough actual plot.
Also the Darkling didn’t need to return. His whole plot actually detracted from the main story because he didn’t even end up being the big bad. So it felt like she just brought him back to show Darklina shippers how bad he is. And I am far from a Darklina shipper, I find the ship ridiculous, but people can like what they like. An author shouldn’t bring a character back just to spite fans, and it’s so clear that’s what she did.
I got what I wanted from the book in the end at least with one ship, so I’m ready to accept that it wasn’t the book we deserved and move on.
I have definitely lost respect for LB though because this was chaotic and lazy.
I’m reading RoW and I better get my Zoyalai endgame because they’re so pure and I love them.
Also this book is everything I could have hoped for and so much more and I’m not capable of writing anything other than aaaaaaaa right now.
Why is everyone talking about soc3 my anxiety CANNOT- “what if leigh pulls a no mourners, too many funerals and kaz is the only one left” or “what if kaz sacrifices himself for the others” or “what if wesper get separated” or “what if nina turns bad” or- Y'ALL NEED TO STOP MANIFESTING THIS SHIT
Zoya: What’s in your hands??
Nikolai: *attempting to hide her ribbon* Nothing.
Zoya:…
Nikolai: *blushing* Something blue…something borrowed!
Zoya: Here is my wall of inspirational women.
Genya: Is that a picture of you?
Zoya: I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.
