Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ This book is SO fast-paced. On one hand, this kept me interested. On the other, it resulted in what felt like rushed and unsubstantial character development.

⁕ I may be judged for this, but the scene with “The Cut” and its consequential explanation was super cheesy and I can no longer take it seriously when that power is used.

⁕ Even though I’ve already read Six of Crows, I wish there was more world-building in this one — especially pertaining to Grisha ranking and politics.
