Even better than the first book. Complex, dark, twisty and achingly romantic, as the characters fight for their lives and their loves, battles they may not be able to win. Includes one of the most powerful scenes of hand-holding ever written.

pickThe Grishaverse of it all has been on my TBR for years. I initially thought to start with Six of Crows but when researching, Shadow & Bone was the recommended entry point. This prequel was alluded to having spoilers, but since I‘m going into this totally cold, I decided to start here. 💙 👤
Now on to Shadow & Bone… #AuthorAMonth
Leigh Bardugo is #AuthorAMonth so I‘m using this as my excuse to finally wind my way into the Grishaverse. 🩵 💙
pickSometimes some YA fantasy just hits the spot! I bought the trilogy used a few years ago, so I‘m happy #authoramonth prompted me to finally pick it up. I liked the Netflix series, which I‘ve recently learned is a combo of this series and the Six of Crows duology. Wish they wouldn‘t have canceled it 😕.

I‘ll be reading book 2 soon.
DNF. Nothing happens other than romancy stuff that does not interest me. Won't be reading more of the series.
pickLoved it. 11/10. No notes except for this: my reading of this duology was heavily informed by having already read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, and while I love the crows on their own merit I am also confident I would have enjoyed their adventures a lot less if I didn‘t already know the universe and recurring characters.
