Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

Spoiler alert!!!! This is the last book in the third series in the Grishaverse. The synopsis below has spoilers for the previous series.

If you have made it this far…It rocks! I am so thankful for this world and these characters. I loved each and every character arc and am so thankful for the time I get to spend in this world!!!

The Demon King. As Fjerda’s massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm―and even the monster within―to win this fight. But a dark threat looms that cannot be defeated by a young king’s gift for the impossible.

The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to war. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and she refuses to bury another friend. Now duty demands she embrace her powers to become the weapon her country needs. No matter the cost.

The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its capital. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart.

King. General. Spy. Together they must find a way to forge a future in the darkness. Or watch a nation fall.

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

I don’t know if I can emphasize enough how much I love novels in verse. The way that poems can be used to imbue characterization and give life and breathe to alternating narratives is otherworldly. Camino and Yahaira are so differentiated by the style of poems yet as the story goes on their similarities come out as well. Going on this journey with them was uncomfortable, but so rewarding.

Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people…

In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.

Separated by distance—and Papi’s secrets—the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered.

And then, when it seems like they’ve lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.
