Ruin and Rising is the last book in the Grisha trilogy written by Leigh Bardugo.  The series is set in a world in which exists another race of human beings called “Grisha”. This people have different “magical” powers.

Alina is the sun summoner and because of that reason she is the only one that would be able to overpower the Darkling and return Ravka to be a peaceful country. After escaping the darkling attack to the little palace Alina, Mal and their friends are hiding on the apparat’s hiding underground. That makes Alina weak since she is unable to contact the sunlight. She still has contact with the Darkling but now is she who controls those encounters.
She has to get out of there and look for the third amplifier and then destroy once and for all the Darkling. However what she does not expect is to find it where it really is.

Ruin and Rising was a good ending to an interesting series. However, as it happened to me with all the books of the series, I founded difficult to get into the book. The series is a little too high-fantasy for me and there were too many different kind of Grisha and too many names, in addition to the strange names of the different regions.
Nonetheless, this one was much better than the second one since there was more action from the beginning to the end. I was not expecting the end and that was something positive to take into account.


To sum up, I think the Grisha trilogy is a good series, probably not for everyone but interesting nonetheless. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-fantasy series without being too much.
