Ruin and Rising

ok probably the best book of the shadow and bone trilogy. i really really love the whole squad moment — like harshaw and oncat ?? my literal favs. tolya and tamar are, well, tolya and tamar and zoya is quite literally a comedian. I GOT RLY HAPPY WHEN TAMAR AND NADIA HAD A LIL GAY MOMENT LIKE GOOD FOR THEM !! GOOD FOR THEM !! Also Nikolai is genuinely my favourite person on earth i was so sad when he turned into a nichevo'ya
