Rule of Wolves - SAMPLER!
by Leigh Bardugo
Intriguing start would like to finish the story. I find the development of the first three chapters something to begin on. The chapters have a lot of references to the prior book, that i think will lesson as the story goes on

This is an excerpt from Rule of Wolves the new book from Leigh Bardugo - follow-up to King of Scars. We get Queen Makhi who is angry her plan didn't work. Our old friend Nina from Six of Crows and King Nikolai (who has a passenger problem) The Darkling is back. Nice setup from Bardugo. Back into Ravka quickly. Looking forward to this new book.

this sampler of Rule of Wolves was so good. I am so excited to see where this book takes us with Nikolai, Zoya, Nina, etc. I think this series has really taken on an interesting plot and I cannot wait for the release in march! I think Zoya is a very well developed and complex character, while also being a very good match to the difference in personality that Nikolai shows.

I'm a fan of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows series and never read the Shadow and Bone books...but this sample makes me want to start.

A promising beginning for the final book in this universe - a decent recap of prior events, name-drops of former beloved characters, and a plot already heavily set in motion with our protagonists' goals laid out right away. I have a very good feeling I'm going to enjoy this final chapter in the Grishaverse. I'm especially optimistic for Nina's growth past what we saw of her in King of Scars, as well as the aggravating ship-tease between Nikolai and Zoya among all of the other conflicts they are bound to face. These three chapters have me 100% on board for picking up this book as soon as possible.

This excerpt of Rule of Wolves was a tantalizing return to the Grishaverse. Leigh Bardugo is simply such a fantastic writer, her prose is impeccable. After King of Scars, I’m incredibly excited to see how Nina, Nicolai, and Zoya’s latest adventure continues! This sampler makes it clear that all will have a myriad of difficult choices and challenges to overcome. I can’t wait to pick up a finished copy! Rule of Wolves releases March 30, 2021. Thank you so much to Leigh Bardugo, Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, and Netgalley for a free excerpt in exchange for honest feedback.

Leigh Bardugo truly is a master. King of Scars made me obsessed with her work and I’ve never stopped. I will absolutely cry throughout at least 20% of this book.

Wasn’t for me. The language I found difficult to follow but really thats more of a me thing, this isn’t within my reading preferences and I haven’t read book 1. It wasn’t super clear what the plot was so I feel like it could be made clearer on NetGalley

Such an amazing start to the book! It had made me really curious about what will happen next! As always, fantastic work from Leigh!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan for the sampler!

The book begins with A Great Issue Striking the Country-- or should I say, world, maybe. We get a new perspective, but it's unclear if she's there to be a new POV, or is only there for now. It'll be a shame if she has few scenes; she seems like maybe one of the more interesting characters, with what we're about to learn about her country.

The ther points of view, I was not as caught by as I would have hoped. While I still will be read the book, my hopes for it are not quite as high as they might have been.

As a fan of all of Leigh Bardugo’s work, especially the Grishaverse, I cannot wait to get my hands on this sequel to King of Scars! The first three chapters had me drawn in immediately, starting off with the POV of a brand new character. Nina is undercover at the Ice Court attempting to bring down Fjerda from the inside, and Zoya and Nikolai on a course to save Ravka from odd occurrences that they suspect are due to the Darkling’s resurrection. This will certainly be an epic conclusion to Nikolai’s duology. Looking forward to reading the full thing in March!

This three-chapter sampler was *everything* and also nothing... because ONLY THREE CHAPTERS AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT?! I can't wait for this conclusive book to the Nikolai/King of Scars duology, and I can't wait to see what Leigh does in the Grishaverse next!

One of my most anticipated 2021 books! I cannot wait until this book is released, and this sample was a perfect way to give a sense of where the book is going.
