This Russian-inspired Leviathan-esque steampunk-fantasy is a fast read all the way. Although it's not until the last hundred pages that the pacing dials up into the stratosphere - I mean, wow. What a way to end it! - the earlier parts are loaded for bear (pun not intended) with plenty of world-class world-building on Bardugo's part.

Though I still prefer the Six of Crows duology because I feel like that series has better characters (and more diversity too), it's here, the first installment of Ba

I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I'd catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I'd seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I'd realize that you weren't there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me. I've risked my life for you. I've walked half the length of Ravka for you, an

I loved this and can't wait to continue on to the next one. This book definitely kept me guessing I wasn't sure where it was going to end.

I liked the extra note that I got to read from Mal's point of view it was very interesting seeing things from his view and what he was going through. ...more

Ho aspettato un po' prima di recensire questa trilogia perchè volevo riflettere e capire esattamente perchè non mi avesse conquistato. Ho adorato Ninth house della stessa autrice e mi ha colpito il fatto che invece io non abbia amato questa che per molti è la sua opera forse migliore...e quindi volevo sapervi dire esattamente il perchè io non l'ho apprezzata fino in fondo.
In primis credo che sia dovuto al fatto che in alcuni punti mi ha ricordato la trama di altre serie fantasy che ho letto in p

Wonderful. One of my new favorites. The world that Leigh Bardugo has created pulls you in and leaves you with a lasting image of that wonderful fictional land and it's well developed characters. I love books where the author makes you question where your loyalties should lie. With the best friend or the darkling? ...more

Alina is an orphan that discovers she has powers beyond her belief. She is take off to train as a Grisha, but finds that the intrigues of court are more sinister than she could ever imagine. She is the favorite of the Darkling, the most powerful Grisha in the kingdom, but that comes with a price she is not sure she is willing to pay.
