Ruin and Rising (Book 3 of the Grisha Trilogy)

After the battle for Os Alta, Alina and her friends search for the firebird, Morozova's third amplifier, against both their enemies and their faithful, to have any hope in defeating the Darkling. Leigh Bardugo's Ruin and Rising is a masterpiece and it is the perfect end to an incredible journey. She creates such empathy through ties with the characters.  As a reader, you rise and fall with them, and each of their triumph and defeats are your own.  The power of the messages come through as Bardugo spins magic with her words.
