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.

I am ruination

fantastic audio book quality and performance.

Push through book two so that you can read this book!! It's thrilling, and fun and the characters are likeable, it's everything that book two wasn't. The ending is a bit disappointing but it's mostly satisfying. Four stars because I had a lot of fun reading this book and shed a tear at the end. I thought that I would remember this series bitterly after book two, but I will remember it fondly.... now onto more grishaverse adventures!

Fascinating, captivating and satisfying

I absolutely loved this series. Sorry to see it end, but I can't wait to see what other worlds Leigh Bardugo will create and make me fall in love with. Lauren Fortgang again did a fantastic job. Thank you both very much :)

Bravo. Great world creation. Wonderful story.

I'm no spring chicken, these books got me through packing, moving house, unpacking and hours of otherwise very dull work.

A stunning end

This was a stunning end to the series. Mal became more loveable and Alina was as stronger than ever before. Spectacular!

highly recommend

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy, it made me laugh and at time be furious or frustrated. I really liked how the author finished the story giving you a glimpse of what their future holds.
love scene was a bit disappointing. I feel kind of at a loss now the story is over. like loosing a friend.
