This is the second time I edited my rating. It was originally 4 stars, but I am now changing it to 2.5 stars. The book was well-written, don't get me wrong. It was just that the plot and the ending were not what I was expecting to happen. Yes, I have my own story in my head, but I hoped a defying, earth-shaking ending that it truly deserved. 
 Ruin and Rising disappointed me big time as much as the second book did. It was slightly dragging, finished it more than a week where I could have done it in 2 days. Damn. It was a total let down. The whole time, I was like, "WHAT THE F***???" 
 I guess other's rants are more than enough to explain how I feel. There were times that I wanted to shelf the book as DNF, but I kept going. No matter what, I still love how Leigh writes. So, yeah, I will read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom once it got published.
