Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
3.5/5
It was definitely easy to get into the book. A nice, simple fantasy with an interesting world and plot. I think the book did slow down towards the end, and it had a pretty normal ending with some unanswered questions, which will probably be answered in the next two books.
There are a lot of different words and terms, and there is definitely a lot to remember not only about the politics of this world but also about the Grisha. I've read Six of Crows before this, and I must say that it was explained a bit better in that book.
The characters were interesting. The story of Alina and Mal was bittersweet, and they did grow. I would like to see more backstories of other characters that were mentioned in the book, and I would like to play a bigger part in the story itself.
I did enjoy reading the book!
