[3.5 stars]

I have to admit I spent more time on the fence about Shadow and Bone than any other book I have read. There were bits I liked and other parts I disliked. I love the concept and the characters, but maybe not how it was written.

I felt some of the major turning points should habe occurred near the end. I really disliked how Alina came to have her power show because it felt like she quickly did the opposite pages later. There is a lot I could comaplain about, but I'll save it.

I very much enjoyed this book. I've put off reading it for a while, and I'm glad I finally picked it up. I loved the character Alina grew to be. The writing was well paced and the story really captured the reader. I look forward to reading the next book.

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I suppose booktok hyped it so much, I thought it's gonna be excellent. The plot is simple and intriguing and I finished it in one sitting, but I expected more drama... It's definitely perfect for people who aren't too much into deep and intimidating books.
