Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
I could not stop reading and I like it when a book does this to me.
It was intense from start to the last page. I only regret that I've not read it until now. I don't know how this kind of author do it! Really, how do you do it?!
I love Russian culture and history and this book was a beautiful gift. While reading this book you feel the inspiration from Russian folklore, history, traditions...I loved it.
Plenty of people are now a Leigh Bardugo's fans and usually, I don't like when there is so much noise about a book and I don't go there but this time, it was the cover, the synopsis of the book with all the Russian names and the mystery and the map at the beguinning of the book and,and,and...I was in .
I loved the heroine's personality that reminded me a lot of myself, you're naif, you trust easily, you're a fragile thing then life happens and it teaches you to struggle hard and to fight harder through time. Alina learnt those lessons in 5 months, she faced horrible things but at the end she learnt to believe in her abilities. I was as naif as her at the beguinning of the story then everything got chaotic and I liked it, every turn of events.
Now, I'm gonna read all the books by Leigh Bardugo, starting with Book II of the Grisha Trilogy.
