A review by synthiasl
The Demon in the Wood by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
Great details that (obviously) weren't in the grahpic novel. Most scenes were word for word as the graphic novel, however, this book didn't include the scene where Sylvi went to follow the bear and ended up in the other village.
As someone who is reading the Grishaverse for the first time, I probably should have read this after the Shadow and Bone trilogy as there was a lot of terminology that I didn't understand (had to google it). I assume that the trilogy includes better explanation of the terminology.
Overall, I think it's still a good place to start the Grishaverse - even without the knowledge of some of the terms, you still kind of piece things together and get an understanding of the "hierarchy" (completely blanking on the word I'm trying to write - but like types of characters) in the world.
