Just what I need right now, an easy read with a narrative that hooks you in. Looking forward to ripping through the next two. ( ) Interesting enough, though not particularly meaty. A lot of setup, a middle that drags, and then a rushed move to the ending/pause point in the overarching story line. There are a number of secondary characters I hope are in the later installments of the series because they were some of the more interesting characters. It's very light reading that won't strain anyone in the slightest, nor befuddle any expectations. It definitely has a YA feel, and not one of the more challenging YA books at that. The writing is competent without striking the reader as brilliant. I was a little disconcerted to have my Kindle tell me I was 87% done and hit the last page. There's a lot of filler at the end, including lengthy excerpts from two of her other books. Beyond that, you've got the usual suspects when it comes to themes. If you go in expecting the story not to tread any new ground, then it's palatable. If you're looking for something novel, this isn't it. I'd say read it if you're a real fan of YA fantasy, particularly the "orphan/peasant/ordinary person who find they're actually super powerful." Sort of like Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Will Stanton, or a host of others. Let me first say this. I am aware this book has some issues. Especially at the end, a certain thing almost made me drop a star BUT this book made me feel joy at discovering this new world, a feeling that used to come to me so easily when I was young but now it is harder to spark. I just enjoyed the ride.
The point I am attempting to make via this very long and rather rambling article is that Shadow and Bone is absolutely knock-your-socks-off amazing and just so different from your average YA fantasy. It is addictive, beautiful, fantastical and I just can't recommend it enough. Literally everyone will love it: fantasy lovers; historical fiction lovers; magic lovers; lovers of strong characters and amazing relationships. And, of course, not forgetting the two gorgeous lead guys for us girls. Ingår iÄr avkortad iPriserPrestigefyllda urvalUppmärksammade listor
Första delen i Grisha-trilogin! Alina Starkov är ingen särskild, bara en av alla fattiga, föräldralösa ungdomar i landet Ravka - ett rike som en gång var mäktigt och välmående men som nu drabbats av fattigdom och krig. På en resa attackeras Alina och hennes bästa vän Mal, och när han hotas till livet väcks en uråldrig kraft hos Alina, stark nog att rädda Mal, och kanske även det krigshärjade Ravka. Alina förs genast till landets magiska elit, Grishan, och en helt ny värld öppnar sig för henne. En värld av magi och gnistrande överflöd, men där Alina inte vet om hon kan lita på någon - inte ens Grishans mäktige ledare, Skuggmästaren, som kanske är den enda som kan hjälpa Alina att ta makten över sin kraft och fullborda sitt öde.
