Review: Shadow and Bone (Grisha) Trilogy
This series tells the story of an orphan who discovers that she has a rare and coveted ability. She is chosen to save the world from darkness, but must learn to control her powers first. I loved the twisty plot and the countless betrayals throughout the books. My mind was continuously blown as I worked my way through each of the books. I waited far too long to pick up this series, but I’m glad that I finally did.
❀ Alina is Great Character
I adored Alina’s character. She is just a girl who suddenly has the fate of the world in her hands and a group of people to worship her. I enjoyed following along as Alina comes to terms with her power, and I admired her bravery. She really transforms throughout the series, and I loved getting to know her more.
❀ Vivid World
One of my favourite aspects of the series was the incredibly vivid world. It is so complex, and I loved the medieval/Russian vibes. I especially appreciated each of the different abilities that are clearly explained. I love a good fantasy that I can escape with, and this series definitely satisfied that desire.
❀ An Action-Packed Series
Shadow and Bone (Grisha) Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo is an action-packed series with a courageous main character. I loved the creative setting and the well-developed powers. If you are like me and have waited to read this series, I would definitely recommend diving in as soon as possible!
