Very slow but also enjoyable, could’ve gone with more character back story and description.

I loved this book! I truly fell for the Darkling and Mal and by the end I felt just as deceived as Alina. I loved the message, “there’s power in mercy” from Alina sparing the stag. My hope is that the next two books don’t tear Mal and Alina away from me.

I haven’t read a lot of YA fantasy so Shadow and Bone was a little out of my comfort zone in terms of book preference but I really enjoyed it! The world was fascinating, the characters well developed and the ending made me question my judgement because I did NOT see it coming! 4/5 stars
