Cross Hunger Games with Harry Potter and set it in world of Russian mythology and mystery; add vividly described real world scenery, truly scary threats and monsters, and “the boy and the girl” united in a mysterious past and bound to an even more mysterious future. The protagonist’s teenaged points of view are well-drawn (and definitely teenaged), and the antagonist is enjoyably dark and mysterious (though not always as mature as his position suggests). The storyline might seem sometimes predictable, but unpredictable locations and backstory drive the plot forward. There are mysteries to be solved, enemies to be overcome, and allies to be made in this well-drawn world of magic and power. I really liked the world-building and had to start each book as soon as the other was finished to find out what would happen next. Big books but quick reads and enjoyable. Disclosure: I got them for Christmas and I enjoyed them. This trilogy is a gem I discovered while browsing Amazon one day. The first five chapters of the first book, Shadow and Bone were being offered for free. All the reviews were good, which prompted me to download it. The first chapters hooked me as a few of the pivotal characters are introduced and they enter "The Fold". Believe me, you will want to know what that is. The feelings of fear, unrequited love, overwhelming exhaustion and confusion, expressed by Alina Starkov, are easily conveyed to the reader. Within an hour, I was downloading the whole Grisha Trilogy. The Grisha Trilogy has is all. A war, monsters, spies, an all powerful villain and a love story (or maybe two?). The author, Leigh Bardugo, creates a world that you can not only see in your mind's eye but also feel. The cold and brightness of the snow will have you drawing your sweater closer to you. Your fingers can almost stroke the richness and colors of the kafkas the Grisha proudly wear. And the treatment of the Grisha by the warring factions will leave you outraged and hoping they make it to Ravka. The plight of the protagonist, Alina Starkov will leave you breathless. I love a good book that not only will place their characters in jeopardy, but is not afraid to take that precarious step and eradicate characters we have come to know and may like. Characters who do more than exist in the periphery of the story. The antagonist, The Darkling, in spite his name, is not all darkness. Even when his actions are beyond the pale, it's hard to dislike him because we are made to understand what drives him. A few times as the story unfolds, I found myself hoping the Darkling and Alina wound up together. I thought the union would give the Darkling the balance he was lacking. I have read this trilogy several times now. It never seems to grow tiresome. I'd definitely recommend the Grisha Trilogy to one and all. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Praise for The Shadow and Bone Trilogy: "This is what fantasy is for." Laini Taylor for The New York Times on Shadow and Bone "Set in a fascinating, unique world rich with detail, Shadow and Bone was unlike anything I've ever read. Alina is a clever, sympathetic character I will gladly follow into the next installment?which can't come soon enough!"
