Shadow and Bone Review

The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.

Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite—the Grisha. Could she be the key to unravelling the dark fabric of the Shadow Fold and setting Ravka free?

The Darkling, a creature of seductive charm and terrifying power, leader of the Grisha. If Alina is to fulfill her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him.

But what of Mal, Alina’s childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can’t she ever quite forget him? (summary by Goodreads)


This book was absolutely amazing. I have no idea why I put off reading it for so long, considering the fact that so many people recommended it to me.

Characters:
Alina is such a kick-ass protagonist. I loved hearing her story and seeing her grow as the book went on. She starts out unsure of herself and by the end she's awesome.
My favorite character would have to be Mal. He reminds me a lot of Day from the Legend series by Marie Lu (one of my favorite books.

Story:
The story was absolutely amazing. There were twists and turns around every corner. My favorite part of the story was defnitely Mal and Alina's relationship. I loved seeing how it progressed as te story went on.

This book was fantastic, a definite must read. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
