I really feel like we got to see Nina‘s character redeemed in this book and just become the confidence, outgoing, fabulous character that we knew from the six of crows duology. However, she was finally given reception in this novel (and honestly, shame on me of thinking that Bardugo didn’t have a plan in place for her this whole time). I was beyond frustrated with Nina's storyline in King of Scars - it was slow, I didn’t care about Hanne, and found her to be almost an entirely new character from the girl we met in Six of Crows. For me, that’s a really good sign because it means that the book has stayed with me and I know it’s going be one that I’m going to keep re-reading. Happily, this time I found that I was just as thrilled with the book weeks later as I was within minutes of being done reading it. So this time around, I read Rule of Wolves and then waited a little bit to see how I felt after the initial excitement had worn off. But a few months later when I reread the book, I found it wasn’t as gripping as I remembered it to be. I wrote a review for King of Scars directly after reading it and completely gushed about it.
