Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
In Shadow & Bone we follow Alina, who gets taken by the Darkling to change the world. She goes in training with the Grisha, people with 'magic' in order to be able to rid the world of The Fold, a black shroud with horrible creatures inside it.
This book, I had to get into it. The first part was kind of repetitive and I kept getting distracted with other books in the meantime. It was very fast paced but a lot of the same? Which it was nice to get her progress and all, but i think at some point a timeskip would have helped😅. Or more dialogues instead? Have Alina be more in contact with others i suppose? Idk. It took a while for me to get into it. But when it kicked off it was hard for me to put the book down. It was very tense and I was on the edge of my seat😂
Romance wise, I'm not a huge fan of love triangles, so I hope it's resolved fairly quickly? So far I'm a fan of Mal. I wish I had his tracking skills 😂
So far, not the most impactful fantasy I've ever read? But I was warned for this so I'll keep going for the rest!✨
