With this book the situation was no different there were moments when reading left me a bit like not totally convinced, and reading books in pdf with a very small font like the one used by mondadori does not help, but the positive side is that I liked most of the book, I really enjoyed Nikolai’s development. I have never been able to completely love her books, despite the fact that I love the stories, and I love the way she characterizes her characters, giving each one a different personality, in the narration I have always found less interesting parts, in the sense of boring, either heavy, or simply too much for the story that was being told. Now I’ll say something that will probably make everyone hate me, but Leigh Bardugo has never been one of my favorite authors. But at the end, I read Six of Crows before I read the Shadow band Bones trilogy. King of scars is one of those books that can be read even without having read the previous sagas, but mentions to old characters are not lacking.

Characters such as Alina, The Darkling are mentioned. I have to be honest, there were a lot of things I didn’t remember from previous books, including the fact that Matthias had died in Crooked Kingdom. Finding all these characters was completely unexpected and I liked this story more. Among them we have Nina, Nikolai, Zoya, Tolya, David and Genya. Obviously the characters present are those characters who have not had a happy ending and who deserve it. Maybe now I understand where the idea for Netflix to merge Six of Crows and shadiw and Bones came from because that’s exactly what is done in King of Scars. I knew this was a duology dedicated to Nikolai, I did not expect to meet old protagonists like Nina Zenik, and above all I did not expect she would have chapters from her point of view.

Today we return to the world of Grisha thanks to Mondadori who brings to Italy the new duology of the Grishaverse, King of scars, the first of a duology that will end in April with Rule of wolves.
