Shadow by Amanda Sun

4.0

I think this is actually the first time I read the prequel prior to the first book. That's because they usually come out after the first book but since I'm starting this series quite late I decided to read the prequel first to get a glimpse of the actual book and HOLY MOLY that was good and really interesting. I don't think I would have liked it as much if I read it after the first book. Of course it would have been interesting but it was also going to feel like sort of going back and I don't know, I'm pretty happy with the decision I've made since now all I want to do is dive into "Ink" which I'm going to do btw. Amanda Sun's style is really captivating and really fluid and the story it's really interesting and even though the theme of the "drawing" and the "ink" is not a first it still feels quite original as for now which is good. Really a good start, can't wait to know Katie and Tomohiro better. One extra point: for now Katie doesn't look like the stereotypical YA girl and that I absolutely love. I hope I won't get disappointed in the future.
