A country at war, love and friendship to test and a power that’s never been there before.

Eine mitreißende Fantasy Reihe über Macht, Liebe, und Freundschaft. Ravka ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Leigh Bardugo is easily one of my favorite authors. As a huge fan of her Six of Crows series, I came to the Grisha Trilogy after finishing it. And I was not disappointed. This series is incredible. Leigh Bardugo builds a beautiful world full of mystery and power. There's seduction and deception and at the heart of it doing something that is good for the world that they live in no matter the cost. There are so many beautiful details in Bardugo's work that you don't see often in YA work nowadays that breathes a fresh breath into the world that Bardugo drags you into.

Depuis de nombreuses années, Ravka est séparé en deux après l’apparition du Shadow Fold. Une bande de ténèbres abritant d’étranges créatures (Volcra).

Alina et Mal sont deux orphelins issus des guerres frontalières entre Ravka, Shu Han et Fjerda. L’action commence lorsque nos deux orphelins sont adultes et font partie de la première armée. Elle en tant qu’apprenti cartographe et lui en tant que soldat. Ils devront traverser le Shadow Fold accompagnés de magiciens Grisha. Peu de temps après le début de la traversée, le convoi est attaqué par les Volcras.

Par hasard, Alina réussit à sauver Mal, et d’autres membres d’équipages, en produisant de la lumière. À la suite de se sauvetage, son destin changera à jamais car elle deviendra l’invocatrice de lumière, la Grisha pouvant détruire le Shadow Fold.

Grisha est l’intégrale de la série littéraire Grisha de Leigh Bardugo. J’ai bien aimé et je trouvais ce roman fantasy différent de ceux que je lis habituellement (high fantasy). La construction des personnages et des intrigues est bonne.

Au début, j’ai eu plus de difficulté à comprendre l’histoire et d’y entrer. L’auteur a décidé d’utiliser des termes et expressions en russe. Ce qui a été plutôt déstabilisant et qui m’a demandé de l’adaptation puisque ce n’est pas une langue que je suis habitué de côtoyer. L’histoire m’a donné envie d’en découvrir plus sur le Grishaverse. Prochaine série dans cet univers: Six of Crows

Sucked in

Started reading the series because of the Netflix show, and it completely surpassed my expectations. (The book is always better.) There were some parts where the story slowed a bit, but for the most part, I had a hard time putting it down.

This was a really solid story for me.
The ending is what really made it sink in and hit a different way, and watching Alina and Mal and their struggles, and everything that they go through, how she falls for the Darkling and his power without really falling for him, her suppressing her gift without knowing making her sick, hunting the amplifiers.

But what got me was the ending. The way it talks about how their life wasn't perfect, but they lived, and isn't that enough? Whenever a book has an ending like that, where maybe it's not happily ever after, but the characters who really didn't have any control over their lives are able to claim some, it sucker punches me in the gut every single time. They carved out a life. They changed their fate and their future, and they found something for themselves after not being able to -throughout all these horrible hardships and all this pain. I prefer this trilogy over the six of crows duet, but I do like all the novels by Bardugo.
