We will start reading this book on January 4th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)

Description:The wolves are circling. And Ravka's time is running out.

The Demon King. As Fjerda's massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm—and even the monster within—to win this fight. But a dark threat looms that cannot be defeated by a young king's gift for the impossible.

The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to war. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend. Now duty demands she embrace her powers to become the weapon her country needs. No matter the cost.

The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its capital. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart.

King. General. Spy. Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness. Or watch a nation fall.

Starting

Starting. I'm excited to have more Nikolai. I like him.

I like him, too. I want him and Zoya together. I thought Nina and Hannah were in trouble when that "sister" came.

I knew the Darkling was going to be trouble. What they are doing to the Gresha is horrible. What is causing the blight?

Did we know before this that Alina and Mal were alive?? I really like Zoya and Nicolai. They're my new favorite couple....even if they're not a couple, lol.

I don't think so. I thought they were dead. I think Zoya is secretly royalty through her mom. Maybe that's how they will be able to be together. I don't like or trust the weakling prince. Who is controlling the blight and why did it not hurt the Darkling?

I don't trust the prince, either. He acts nice, until no one is looking. I do like his bodyguard, Joran. I hope Nina doesn't kill him, lol.

Totally not a fan of the prince. I do like Joran. I was upset about David.(view spoiler)[I was so upset about Hannah. I couldn't believe she killed off another character I liked. I was shocked how that turned out. (hide spoiler)]

Finished and enjoyed it. She did a good job of tying everything together.

Finished. I agree about Hannah. Total surprise! I like how it wrapped up...but I thought there was enough at the end to maybe warrant another book. I don't think there is one coming out, though.

I agree with you. I think it was left like so the door is left open for a possible next book. I would like to see a good ending for Kaz and Inez.

There's supposedly a third book in the Six of Crows series coming out sometime...so maybe that will incorporate the whole story. If/when it comes out, we'll have to re-read those first few books.

What do you want to read next?

That sounds good. What do you want to read next?

We need to make a new 2024 possible buddy read list, lol. Would you be interested in any of these series? I'm open to suggestions!


There is also a new Mercy coming out in June, so we should probably re-read the rest of the series before then, lol. I bet Vaughn would read it with us, too.

Yes, to all of them. I'm always up for a Mercy Thompson re-read. I will create a new list with all the suggestions.
