tayking 's review for:

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3.25
adventurous fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Normally I hate the "woe is me I think I'm ugly and unloveable" MC trope, but I think this is approached in a sensible way for this story. While the plot beats are predictable and the characters are a little dry, this is still a fun read and I am interested in seeing where this is going.
