*RULE OF WOLVES SPOILER*

Screaming, crying, kicking my feet right now is an understatement to describe my reaction to the Crows being in this book.

I had no idea they were even in the story. And like?? Not just a cameo but on a FUCKING HEIST???? Like full on Dirtyhands, Sharpshoooter and Demo Man at work??!!?

And don’t get me started in all the canon Wesper/Kanej content I’m being fed with rn. I don’t know what we did to deserve such a blessing, but Leigh Bardugo; THANK YOU.

when you realize your character arc begins and ends as the demon in the wood

[jeansyvesmoreau]

can we talk more about the fact that kaz called it the silver six? after the crows? about how they're silver, not gold, because they're not as respectable and they'll only be secondary in the eyes of everyone else? about how it's representitive of the way they took down pekka rollins and renamed his gambling dens after them because they bested him? can we?

God has her favorites and with "god" i mean "Leigh"and with favorites i mean "Wylan" because

-Mal almost had debris crushing him and freaking died

-Kaz bought a ship and found her parents

-Matthias betrayed his mentor and the army that raised him

-David made that speech

-Nikolai handed her the throne

But what did Wylan had to do to get Jesper? Nothing, he just existed and the man´s mind was already all over him,no effort, bet not even he know how he did it.

"lied to his dad" oh please, thats just Wylan being himself

🌶️, Grishaverse?

Despite claims to the contrary, Rule of Wolves did not assassinate the Darkling's character. He is completely consistent with how he was written in Shadow and Bone- a once bright young man turned noble demon, jaded so badly by the long eons of struggle and isolation that he can no longer see the world except through the lens of power and control. He cares nothing for anyone else's opinion, because that was the only way he could carve the future he wanted- if he shut himself off from the world- from pain, from loss, from doubt, from judgement, and in so doing he's made it impossible for him to truly be the one that saves the world, that remakes it.

The only reason people think he's been character assassinated in Rule of Wolves is because Bardugo writes him consistently with how he is in Shadow and Bone, rather then the version his stans would imagine him as as- edgy, misunderstood and only in need of love to 'fix' him. But at the core, the Grishaverse is not a series that believe love will fix you. Love is a choice, an act, and a promise in Bardugo's world- not a cure all, or hidden power, or a talisman. Zoya's story in Rule of Wolves, ironically, hammers this point dead home. What Zoya realizes at the novel's pivotal moment is that love is a labor- it requires you to be vulnerable, to work at it, to get up each day and decide to keep at it.

Love can't save the Darkling because he can not bring himself to choose love over power, because choosing love would mean having to honestly face himsel. He would have to open himself up to others, and to the idea that he was wrong in his actions. And so instead he cries that he has no regrets as he is impaled on the thorns, because he can't allow himself to have regrets. The boy who had regrets might have been one that found redemption, but he never would have survived the world of his youth. The man he is, ruthless and unyielding and unafraid, sees that neat simple line between point A (the world dying) and point B (the world not dying) and takes it without hesitation, even if it means an eternity of torment, refusing to be humbled or to repent, even as the universe demands he kneel.

Make them believe you.

Tell them the demon king rules Ravka and vengeance is coming.”

RIP David Kostyk, the world wasn’t ready for your neurodivergent swag. the making at the heart of the world sure was though

“He’s a bit of a black sheep anyway. He insisted on doing his military service in the infantry, then he apprenticed to a gunsmith.” “And he’s never at court?” “Not in years. I think he’s off studying shipbuilding or something equally dull. He’d probably get along well with David,” she added sourly.

-Shadow and Bone, Chapter 13

Nikolai’s friendship with David hadn’t been a loud one. There had been few shared confidences, no raucous nights spent singing dirty drinking songs. Most of their time together had been spent in silence, grappling with difficult engineering problems, reviewing each other’s work, pushing each other forward. With David, Nikolai’s power and charm had been meaningless. He’d only cared about the science.

-Rule of Wolves, Chapter 23

a little underrated moment from rule of wolves that i absolutely love and think about constantly:

“you should have said yes, she thought for the hundredth time. You should have told him you loved him. But what good was that word to people like her? Nikolai deserved more. Ravka required more. But for an hour, for a day, he might have been hers. And if something happened to him on that battlefield? She’d been too afraid to say yes to him, to show him the truth of her longing, to admit that from the first time she’d seen him, she’d known he was the hero of all her aunt’s stories, the boy with the golden spirit full of light and hope. All Saints, Zoya wanted to be near that light, she wanted to feel the warmth of it for as long as she could.”

ok i want to talk about zoya nazyalensky for a second

when you look at the grishaverse as a whole, to me, zoya is ultimately the main character (not to take away from alina but here me out). she is amongst the group of characters that has made it from book one to book seven and has made appearances in 6/7 of the those books. she has the biggest character arc, one from shadow and bone to ruin and rising, and another from ruin and rising to rule of wolves. she goes from a guarded, angry soldier whose too scared to have her hands in anything but a fist to a merciful, peaceful saint and queen of ravka. not to mention the level of power she possesses by the end of the series. everyone only ever wanted peace for ravka and zoya was the one to give it to them.

i just read the trilogy and wtf baghra is alive?!?!?

oh sorry for the spoilers, anon!

but ... yeah. it's not a major plot point (it's like three lines of dialogue) but they go out of their way to make it clear that she's still out there, being weird. and it seems like baghra's sister is probably alive, too

look, there are a lot of immortals roaming around in those books. tons of them. we only spend time with like five of them but it is strongly implied that there are a lot more just hanging about
