Shadow and Bone
ByPublisher Description
See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone -- Season 2 streaming now!
Discover the adventure that started it all and meet Alina, Mal, and the Darkling in Shadow and Bone from #1 bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo.
Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Orphaned and expendable, Alina Starkov is a soldier who knows she may not survive her first trek across the Shadow Fold—a swath of unnatural darkness crawling with monsters. But when her regiment is attacked, Alina unleashes dormant magic not even she knew she possessed.
Now Alina will enter a lavish world of royalty and intrigue as she trains with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite—and falls under the spell of their notorious leader, the Darkling. He believes Alina can summon a force capable of destroying the Shadow Fold and reuniting their war-ravaged country, but only if she can master her untamed gift.
As the threat to the kingdom mounts and Alina unlocks the secrets of her past, she will make a dangerous discovery that could threaten all she loves and the very future of a nation.
Welcome to Ravka . . . a world of science and superstition where nothing is what it seems.

“this took me forever to actually pick up and read, but it was honestly enjoyable. the beginning was really slow and boring, but the last 40% made up for it. i just don't like how abrupt the dynamic between alina and the darkling changed. they barely interacted and suddenly he was all she could think about? i don't blame her though, i'm drawn to him as well.
alina and mal are both slightly annoying and i reallyyyy hope they aren't endgame. i do like that she wasn't immediately good at using her powers, though. it seemed slightly more realistic than most YA fantasy main characters. as for the darkling, i love him, i don't care if he's ancient and evil. he's hot. i'm all for villains realizing what they're doing is wrong, so i hope the darkling turns out to be a decent person.
ultimately, i don't feel the need to read the next book, but i probably will anyways because i want to see more of the darkling.”Liz
