Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

I love the world in this series. She does such a great job! This is the final book in the grisha trilogy and I have really enjoyed this so far.
So far I'm on chapter 6.
---

The Book and series as a whole was really good. I look forward to reading the next set by her and also anything new that comes out.  On the side note here I did read a novella through my library that waa a back somtory on the darkling. It was interesting (Demon in the woods).

It's been a minute since I had read this so I will have to update it another time.

The First City by Joe Hart *contains spoilers *

So in these first few chapters it turns out that zoey has a baby in the place she escaped from and they are using it to coax her to come back.
Eli has died from a gunshot wound after he tells zoey the story of him and his wife. Which was also sad. And at this point zoey seems to have taken off with nothing but a small note. When they launched that missile to land on the facility and the helicopter didn't get out of the way in time, that was intense.. 
~~
To find out that the baby is really hers and Lee's  and that the female leader of the NOA is Zoeys mom.. I couldnt believe it. And then there was a second baby... they all made it out because of the guy that I think was her mom's lover..

As a whole trilogy I liked it
Thanks for reading

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

I'm just about to finish this book up and it's been so intense.
The trials, the characters and the world building. I will need a break before book two and read something fluffy but at this point i would have to say I'm going to give it a 5/5 star rating. Granted I have 40 pages or so left but it's been really good.
More of an update later

Kings Cage by Victoria Aveyard *contains spoilers *

The beginning of this book was really slow. It goes back and forth so far with Mare and Cameron on who is telling the story. Mare is being held prisoner but it doesn't look like it because she has silent stone bracelets and on her ankles that is covered by elegant clothes gifted by Maven. She also stays somewhat in his chambers and sees and notes alot of the history that is of past royalties. Noting also that maven and cals mom is nowhere to be remembered by. She is somehow able to get ahold of some journals that belonged to Julian. More history and observations that she is picking up. She's not sure how they got there or why because the books that were on the shelves previously, she had literally destroyed and ripped to pieces..
Once I got to chapter 9 it just completely picked up and before I knew it is was to ch 13. Which is my current status. I will update after I read more.
~~~~~~~

Mare had been trapped for about 6 months before she was released and I was so shocked to not only see her released but also who released her. Lovely evangaline ☆ right during the raid that happens at the wedding between maven and the Lakeland princess.
Mare reunites with her family except Shade.
I think Farley is about to have her baby, and its sad because shade is the dad and he isn't going to be there.
Right now alot of unsure issue with kingdoms and who's allies with who because nobody knows who to trust.

~~~~~~~~~
The last few chapters were intense. The battle, the choice that cal has to make and marrying evangaline for the peace of the houses but in turn mare has to make in if she wants to have a life at royalty or keep as she has been just without cal..... and she walks away.. EEEEEEE!!!!! the next book is so far away lol.

Diabolic by S.J Kincaid *contains spoilers *

The process the diabolic has gone through from the corral to being bonded with this child is interesting..I'm only on chapter 2 so will see how it goes..
~~~~~

Just into chapter 6 I believe and the diabolic has been told by the girls' mom (can't remember names) that it is to train and pretend to be the girl when she is due to go in front of someone really important who at this time I can't remember the title (i will have to freshen up the names when I pick it up again).
So that's the plan..

~~~~
Just about to start chapter 15. At this point so far Nemisis has pulled off being Sidonia pretty well as nobody has caught onto her aside from possibly the diabolics that the emperor keeps for personal benefit. The diabolic is supposed to be banned and destroyed (except for his). Nemisis is still around because the girls parents hid it away ..if i remember right.
With trying to fit in as humanly possible she buys a creature for the fighting ring. When she goes to see it with a "friend" aka ally.. she realizes it is how she begin this life before her bonding with Sidonia.

~~~~~~

Um...wow...!!!! The emperor had the planet that Sidonia and her family is from, destroyed. And nemisis is out for revenge. Apparently the crazy nephew of the emperor is wanting to be allies with nemisis and suggested marriage...did not see that coming....

~~~~
Nemisis is having feelings for Tyrus that she wasn't manufactured to feel or understand. She loves him and cares about him. When another twist happens with Sidonia not really being dead, now she has to figure out what to do next.
Tyrus grandmother is going to be interesting in seeing how this pans out with him and Elantra.
~~~~~~~~

I really enjoyed this book. It has saucy betrayal with unexpected love story. Well written and eager for the next book to come out.
4/5☆
