I am a huge fan of anything Leigh Bardugo writes! I have pre-ordered Rule of Wolves and can not wait for it to arrive! When I saw the sampler was available I jumped on it to whet my appetite. Sure enough, I now will die when the full book arrive!

While I've only read the sampler of this book, between what I read and my experience with Leigh Bardugo, I am confident this will be a 5-star book. The chapters included in the sampler promise an epic conclusion to the Grishaverse. Already, you can see the pieces moving into place for an incredible setup of conflict and adventure for these characters we love. I can not wait to get my hands on a full copy!

Is it March 30th yet? This teaser only got me more hyped up to read the full book. I love so many of the characters in Leigh Bardugo's world, but I am so excited to get back to Nikolai again.

I cannot WAIT for this to come out--it's been too long since we've seen Nikolai. As always, Bardugo's ability to pull you in immediately with a good story and her wonderful characters remains true. Her wit and humor constantly come out through Nikolai and Zoya's banter and I can't wait to see what's in store for them next.

Leigh Bardugo really knows how to put a cliffhanger. The first three chapters were so beautiful written and perfect to settle the plot of this second book. I'm excited and scared to see what's gonna happen in this second one.

This sampler shows once again that Bardugo knows how to draw the reader in and make them want to keep flipping the pages and delve deeper into the characters she creates.
I can't wait to buy and finish the novel.

I think that after so long since the first book came out, there needs to be some sort of refresher, or perhaps a clearer opening? The first three chapters aren't that clear so I found myself confused and trying to remember all the characters and all their roles, as well as figuring out some new characters.

Leigh Bardugo is an incredibly talented author and her writing never disappoints. Nina and Nikolai are two of my favorite characters ever written and I'm so excited to see more of their story unfold in RoW. Rule of Wolves is one of my most anticipated reads for 2021 and I'm so excited for its release in a couple weeks.

I have to be honest I’m a fan of the Grishaverse so I’m already hooked with this sample of Rule of Wolves and need to read the rest of the story. I’m immediately immersed in the world building and characters (Nikolai is a forever favourite however) so I can tell this will be a 4/5 stars

Not sure why I've even done this. Now I absolutely can't wait to read this book fully!

Characters that we all loved are coming back, oh Nina and Hana...

Intrigued about the princess, she will have to choose between family and friends, this exert is great way of giving a warning of whats coming from "Families" side.... Loads of political drama by the looks of it... Can't wait!

Amazing description of Nina, Nikolai, Ehri and Zoya. I am grateful to Netgalley for this opportunity.

Please note: My review at this moment in time is for the sampler only (first three chapters). Upon the book’s release, I’ll post an updated, more thorough review here and on retailer sites once I’ve read the entire book and will adjust my rating accordingly if needed.

Thoughts on the sampler: I read a three-chapter sampler courtesy of NetGalley, and I need more. The story grabbed me right from the start, and I quickly became invested. It provided the perfect glimpse into the upcoming book, but I almost regret it because I want to keep reading. It felt like I was reuniting with old friends, and I’m beyond curious and excited to see how this duology will come to a close.

I’m going to bide my time until release doing an entire Grishaverse reread, which will refresh my memory and get me even more amped than I already am for the upcoming Shadow and Bone show.

Rule of Wolves is such an exciting read - I was disappointed when I got to the end of the third chapter. It looks like war is coming to the Grishaverse. Leigh Bardugo continues the saga started with Shadow and Bone. Her writing is excellent, putting you in the midst of preparations for war. Can't wait for the full book to be released!!

This excerpt of Rule of Wolves was intense, The threat of war is coming closer, the main characters are having to face the upcoming challenges, and I think I'm in love with Nikolai. I can't wait for the book to be published!

Leigh Bardugo's latest novel looks just as interesting as all the others. I look forward to reading the rest of this book as the opening pages drew me in and have me eager to know what happens.

Many thanks to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and NetGalley for the early look at this title.

Thank you for the sampler! I really enjoyed the intensity of the plot and it really gets me excited to continue reading. I will admit that I am not up-to-date with this duology and all the other books in this series, so some of the vocabulary was hard to follow. However, I do like the author's writing style and am interested in starting from the beginning.

This sample makes me want to read the book immediately. All the intrigue I'd definitely heart stopping. I look forward to reading the full book at the end of March.

Great sampler for Rule of Wolves. I wish it was longer, but I will have to wait for my pre-order to arrive to see what Bardugo has in store for this last book in Nikolai's story. I am extremely excited to read more about Nikolai, Nina, Zoya, and get more of the Darkling now that he is back.
