Enter the Grishaverse with Book One of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by the number one New York Times-bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J. Maas. 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.

Per essere un libro introduttivo ad un saga devo dire che mi ha piacevolmente stupita! È vero, ci vengono dati un sacco di dettagli nel primo volume e, calcolando che sono meno di 300 pagine, può sembrare confuso e anche too much, ma credetemi se vi dico che ne vale la pena! Alina come personaggio è molto acerbo, il che mi ha snervata lì per lì, ma poi mi ha anche fatto ben sperare nello sviluppo del personaggio nei libri successivi. La scrittura della Bardugo è così coinvolgente che divoravo pagina dopo pagina convinta di essere io stessa a vestire i panni di Alina, la giovane orfana Grisha protagonista del libro. Se siete alla ricerca di descrizioni dettagliate di ambienti, sensazioni e/o qualsivoglia dettaglio, questo libro non fa al caso vostro. Sia chiaro, non è superficiale, ma dove può essere “sbrigativa” la Bardugo non si perde in chiacchiere. La storia è ben strutturata, ho apprezzato sicuramente il “bugiardino” iniziale con la spiegazione semplice e concisa sugli ordini dei Grisha, la mappa sicuramente è sempre super apprezzata! Alina in questo primo libro è uno sni. Mal è un NO grosso come una casa L’Oscuro è un SI. Genya SI SI SI SI SI Zoya (si, lo so, sono strana) ma è la stronz@ di cui aveva bisogno il libro. Baghra love of my life proprio, mood nonna infame che al minimo sgarro ti tira un coppino Prima di addentrarvi in questa lettura però vi metto in guardia: può creare dipendenza! E credetemi se vi dico che di questo universo ho letto tutti i libri e ora mi manca (quasi) tutto da morire.

This is a fun read that is perhaps being rated too poorly by me because of the high standard of literature I've read around it.

I found the characters shallow and one dimensional and the overall lack of depth in the book was disappointing. The world is interesting and the story is good. The world and characters have the potential to be rich and fascinating but the author spends no time developing it in the book.

The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #1

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.

Fast-paced, easy to understand, romance subplot. Continuing this series immediately.

** spoiler alert **
           i have to admit that i enjoyed this book. i did not have high expectations from it so i was not disappointed with the fact that it's a cheesy YA fantasy with the chosen main character and a love triangle. it was easy to read and the pacing was quick so i read it in 4 days which was quick for me since i'm a slower reader. 
alina was punchable the whole time because she just couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she had some duties to do since she became like... the strongest grisha to ever live but i am kinda used to this type of main characters from other young adult books. she also cared about mal when she had other things to focus on and it was.. well i hated her for that. when you become so powerful and the whole world relies on you you have other things to care about than your best friend/boyfriend. i'm sorry but main characters need to hear this, especially in YA.
darkling was sure... something. yet another immortal to groom a teen. not sure why this trope is so popular among YA authors but as i said... i'm kind of used to it now so I wasn't even surprised at this point. which is concerning. 
but yeah i don't really want to hate on this book, it has a huge impact on the booksta community and i overall really enjoyed reading it. plus the whole russia-inspired world was quite unique and interesting.

3.5 ⭐️

the plot leaves something to be desired. i honestly tried to like the book, but i think i prefer the show.

Alina and Mal made this book so boring! they went ahead and gave nothing! talmbout Mal saying he sees Alina now. you literally lived with her almost all your life bro. 

the darkling was the only interesting plot. i love him. he knew what he wanted and went straight for it!
