Alina Starkov’s power is growing but she is on the run with Mal from the Darkling. Will the Darkling catch up to her and final realise his plan to expand the fold and take over Rakva?

A fantastic second instalment in the Shadow and Bone series, this story felt more fast-paced and unpredictable compared to the first book. The introduction of Sturmhold’s character was so fun and I hope to see him later in the series! The turmoil of Alina is well portrayed and you just want to go and give her a hug even when she’s fighting her inner darkness. I can’t wait to read the third book!!
