Honestly? Meh. I liked the concept a lot, and it was an easy, enjoyable enough read. However the writing itself was mediocre, and definitely took away from my enjoyment

Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

OKay I have some thoughts. And they may not be coherent because I've JUST finished reading it and haven't had a chance to properly think.
My heart truly broke for Genya, I was pure sOBBING at David's death, and I genuinely had to take a day off from reading just to recover lmao.
HANNE??? AS KING OF FJERDA??? AND HER AND NINA LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER??? GOD TIER MOVE. NOTHING LESS THAN THEY DESERVE. Although I will say I was about to freak oUT when I thought Hanne was dead (the foreshadowing of her survival was so clever, I was just completely oblivious to it).
AND ZOYALAI. FINALLY. Zoya as a queen, in her own right and not through marriage- I am speechless. Absolutely the best outcome for the Ravkan throne. A Grisha queen??? A Suli queen??? Once again, God tier move. Her and Nikolai deserve evERYTHING.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the Darkling getting to save the day, but I think I liked it. It worked for his character, and with the goals he's always wanted, so I support that.
And finally, a Zoya-Alina-Genya reunion? Just. What. I. Wanted.
Okay one last comment- ARE WE GETTING MORE CROWS CONTENT??????

Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

This book, while being enjoyable enough, could not have more clearly been written by a middle-aged white woman who wanted to feel like she was doing her part against racism, and was FULL of stereotypes and misinformation.
An interesting story, but poorly told, and almost definitely by the wrong person.

NOPE
NOPE NOPE NOPE
Okay so the pacing did feel a little off, and I definitely found I was reading Nina's chapters as fast as I could to get back to Zoya and Nikolai (although I did love Nina's relationship with Hanne).
I'm also a little peeved that a lot of time was spent building up Zoya and Nikolai's relationship, just for Nikolai to turn around and do THAT at the end.
And as one final thought, WHAT THE F-????
