King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo6/9/2023 ![]() I also think it was interesting to see how Bardugo presented the sort of modernization of the nations. We get a lot more of the world’s history, with stories of the saints and details on the cultural differences and the governments of different nations. ![]() In King of Scars we get to see more of Ravka, as well as the nation of Fjerda. I have expressed my love of the Grishaverse with regard to its world-building, and I do like how Bardugo expands on this. We also get chapters featuring Nina Zenik, a Grisha Heartrender who was once part of the Dregs. ![]() Apart from Nikolai, we also get POV chapters from Zoya Nazyalensky, a powerful Grisha Squaller and Nikolai’s general. The events of this book take place about two years after the end of Crooked Kingdom, and mostly follows King Nikolai Lantsov and his struggles to strengthen the nation of Ravka. This review at The Fantasy Review of King of Scars is spoiler-free, but will contain spoilers for the Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology.Īlthough I was thrilled that Bardugo was expanding the Grishaverse with what is called the Nikolai duology, I had actually lowered my expectations for King of Scars, as I had already seen mixed reviews. ![]()
