Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo



I started this book, then got sidetracked with some e-books and finally came back to this.  Once I got going again, I really enjoyed the story.  This is my first Leigh Bardugo book and I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy and her next two books, Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.  

The world building was amazing and I was immediately sucked in by the beautiful descriptions.

I was especially drawn to the Darkling.  Is he a good guy? Bad guy?  I looked forward to every chapter he was in.  

I wasn't sure where the story was going to go with Mal and Alina but I was pleasantly surprised by their story.  Mal seemed a bit boring through a lot of the book to me but I grew to like him the more I read.  

Alina's story went through many changes.  I especially liked how she came to see herself as beautiful, which is a struggle so many women deal with.  

I've heard a lot of people say they didn't care for this trilogy.  I am new to young adult fantasy and I'm surprised to say I enjoyed it as much as I did and definitely recommend it.
