A review by lalatut
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

Every once in a while, I get a craving for dystopian ya. Last year I devoured the Lunar Chronicles during the first month of the pandemic (in the middle of a very demanding class on finding Christ in the Old Testament and applying it to life). It was an indulgence I did not plan - and I have no commentary on the wisdom of that choice, but I bounced back and managed to do okay in the class. Ha!

Previous years have seen me plunging into the Divergent series, the Hunger Games, and Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children. I can’t plan these little escapes, but they certainly do find me and it must be how I relieve stress.

Latest installment? Shadow & Bone. A couple of chapters in, I wasn’t sure if I’d stick with it, but soon I was hooked and I like where it’s going. Just started the second book and have a feeling I won’t regret it.
