princessbilbo 's review for:

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
4.0

Started listening to this book during my jog, and spent all day listening to it. Not because it was amazing and couldn't put it down, but because I was so busy and listening to a book was the easiest form of entertainment, since I wasn't near a TV and moving around a lot.

I watched the show and decided, like many, to give the book a chance. Honestly, I feel like the show did such a better job at telling this story. It took something that was enjoyable and made it so much more. I know the show ties in other books, so now I need to read the rest, despite hearing some very negative things about this series that I'm not looking forward to.

For a first book, it was very interesting, and the world is fascinating. I already have the 2nd book, so I'll probably be starting that soon. But honestly, I'm more excited about the show than the books.
