Chronicle Toward Books Shadow and Bone (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #1)
▶ Alternative Cover Edition #1Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.

Psst. A new video is up - all about the bad books I've read this year! Now that you know that this one is on it, check out the Worst Books of 2019 video to see what other ones made the cut! The Actual Review IT WAS A COMPLETE DISASTER. Whelp...that was horribly disappointing...I cannot begin to explain how utterly...blah this one was. SO many people recommended it, and I honestly feel a bit awful with the low rating - but ehhh, what's the point of goodreads if I can't rant? How to Write aThe biggest issue with this book is actually NOT the utter fail at correctly incorporating the Russian elements into the story.It's that I'd never be able to pick this book out of a generic YA book lineup.It's like a ninja, perfectly blending into its surroundings, into that painfully generic landscape that plagues YA literature recently, the lackluster background against which few gems truly stand out. And gem this one is not.I think at this point there is a formula that many YA writers view as
Damn you, Leigh Barduga. Damn you for tricking me.Leigh Barduga is like some kind of literary crouching tiger, hidden dragon or something.You would be forgiven, upon commencing this novel, for thinking Shadow and Bone is redundant, cliched piece of tripe book with poor story-telling, average writing and a predictable plot. People who haven't read countless Young Adult novels probably wouldn't notice the trends, but I did. This is what I thought and Leigh led me down the primrose path until...
I loved it from page one. One incredible journey. Im going to tell you guys something: My first ever read in English was Throne of Glass and that was last September. I thought, with my knowledge of the English language (at that time) that picking a 400 page book up as a first read in English was going to work out well for me. Piece of cake, was what I told myself.Well, not exactlyI struggled with that book because of how the writing was, in my opinion, complex and all those new terms that Ive
'fine. make me your villain.' oh, my darling darkling. i would do soooo much more than that. you can put your collar on me any day. is is this what love feels like?
4 StarsSo confession:I originally snagged this book after waiting so long to read it, because I was able to snag it on sale for $1.99 on amazon kindle. Halfway through reading it, I realized I was really enjoying it... And I knew I would want to read the rest of the series...And then I saw how pretty the covers were...AND they were cheaper than the kindle versions at the time of this review. So, of course, I bought the last two books in the physical. And of course, God forbid I have an
YOU GUYS WE ARE GETTING A NETFLIX TV SERIES AHHHHHHHHhttps://deadline.com/2019/01/netflix-...I CAN'T BREATHEEEEEE.If I could give this series 6 stars.. or 7... or 8.... I would. One of my ALL time favorite series. I get so sad when I see people totally skipping this to go to Six of Crows (which I loved, don't get me wrong.) True, it isn't for everyone.. but my gosh it is a work of art. I love everything about this series. (Ps... I'll say it again, but I HIGHLY recommend the audiobooks for
