Shadow and Bone is one of my favourite book series now and this book had it ALL! Internal and external conflict galore and I need to read Ruin and Rising right now.

This was my favorite of the Shadow and Bone series - a fast paced second book that really catapults you into action and keeps it going through the whole book. Part of the fun of this new book is the new cast of characters it brings with it (Sturmhond hands down becomes my favorite character in the entire series, can we pls get a spin-off, Leigh??) and we get to learn more about the Grisha, the Darkling, and what makes them who they are. There is good palace intrigue, drama, battles between good and evil - this installment had it all! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
