The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne.

Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.

Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction - and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for. Ruin and Rising is the thrilling final installment in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy.

Ruin and Rising was a decent book. I don't think this was the the strongest book of the trilogy but it came with some twists and turns. I do feel like the ending was rushed and there could have been a little more background and history provided that would have given a bit more foreshadowing to the ending and also provided that "ah ha" moment when the ending unfolds. The Shadow and Bone books were the first Leigh Bardugo books I have read/listened to and it certainly makes me interested in exploring the other books Leigh has written in this same universe.

The narration by Lauren Fortgang was really good and I really enjoyed the way she voiced the characters and ensured that each character had a unique and memorable sound without straining or sounding silly.

A decent finish to a good trilogy
