This book gets the credit for getting me out of a reading slump and for introducing me to a new genre. However, I found the writing to be flat/not imersive enough and the characters were one dimensional.

it was a book that brough a good change of pace, especially an evil minded heroine, although some of it were predictable towards the end I enjoyed it but it did take me a while to finish.
Not much world-building, I did hope we could get more information about their world but the setting was mostly inside the palace with a trip inside a carriage here and there.
Though I must say, The Shadows Between Us is literally Shadow and Bone if the heroine went with the darkling.

So...this wasn't what I expected...
The story definitely contains a strong and confident fMC, but our girl is not likable...more like absolutely crazy and ehmm delusional.
It wss also great that the mMC supported her and acknowledges her wit seeing her as his equal, but the morals...
Both characters have a few things in common e.g. morally more than grey (as in anti heroes - figthing against a Robin Hood kinda guy, wanting to battle and in some way colonize other countries, working on strategies to oppress people), not reasonable and so on.
And while I can like morally grey characters you really feel like you are on the wrong side of the story in this book and I have now learned that is something I can not ignore (unreasonable killing - yes, this - no).
I liked that the society was diverse.
Not a fan of the ages chosen for the MCs even though it seemed fitting to how immature they acted.

OK! There's a lot of aspects I really loved about this!! (And some not so much) but overall couldn't put this book down - loved the character growth and the simple moments mixed with complicated- wish their was a book 2!!
