A review by effy
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

3.25

I went into this book with such low expectations as it feels like everyone says to skip this trilogy and go straight into Six of Crows.

I ended-up being really pleasantly surprised as we had an interesting cast of characters and a magic system that felt fresh. The only thing that I did not enjoy was the romance between 
Mal and Alina
as it felt forced by also 
whilst not biologically related, they had been raised as siblings and that just felt uncomfortable.
 

I did feel somewhat confused by how this series was going to be a trilogy as I was reading because there didn't seem to be enough story for 3 books.

Fine! Make me your villain!
