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!” ―Veronica Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone
“Filled with lush descriptions, intriguing magic, and plenty of twists, this memorable adventure offers action and intrigue mixed with an undercurrent of romance and danger.” ―Publishers Weekly on Shadow and Bone
“A heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure.” ―Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series, on Siege and Storm
“A well-drawn world, full of deceit and mythology, populated by entirely believable characters. Full of truly surprising twists and turns, beautiful imagery and a protagonist it's impossible not to root for, this is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ―RT Book Reviews on Shadow and Bone
"If opener Shadow and Bone was a magical coming-of-age story and middle-volume Siege and Storm was a political thriller, then this third book is an epic quest. . . Every time readers may think she's written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Ruin and Rising

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, plenty of twists and turns and shocking surprises.
I was surprised what a great book this was and I enjoyed reading it to the very end. When I was unable to read, I would think about it and try to imagine how old the ending would be and I’m so glad that the author was able to implement so many twist and turned. You didn’t know what to expect But then you loved every part of it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Buy them!
These books delivered on time and were in flawless shape I'm really picky but they couldn't be more perfect! Also if you haven't read them you need to they are so good so are the 2 duologues that comes after these
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved
This was given as a gift. Loved it
4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the Netflix Series. Read the books!!
If you watched the Netflix series of the Shadow and Bone saga these books will give you a new perspective on the actual storyline. The books have so much more details and the storyline although similar has some very important differences and makes the story more complete.The story of the Darkling, Sun Summoner (Alina), the tracker (Mal) and Nickolia is starkly different than the Netflix series. The way their journey starts to the way it ends is different and detailed. There is more action. More drama and more surprises.I do not want to give it away and suggest if you like fantasy novels and the Netflix series then read these books. It was fantastic.I am giving it a 4 ⭐️only because the story goes on much longer than it should and could have been done with less pages. I am also not a fan of long chapters and this had long chapters. Otherwise see below for breakdowns of my ratings on the book overall.Spice : No rating. It is very mild but there is some romance to it.Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Character Development 🎥🎥🎥🎥Writing Style ✍️✍️✍️✍️Overall a great book. Highly recommend.

Awesome series fast shipping
5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than the Series
I saw the Netflix series and was left needing to know the story. The trilogy answered my questions with great detail. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this author's created word. I can't wait to begin her other books.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series that left me wanting more!
A friend recommended this series because she knew I love fantasy novels, and I literally can't put them down! I've now read the first two books about 1/3 of the final book in less than a week, so my only negative comment is that I'm approaching the end of this set and desperately want more! I would definitely recommend these to anyone, and I also now intend to buy anything else that I can find from this same author.
5.0 out of 5 stars Shadow and Bone love loved
Excellent read. Stellar series.
Da leggere assolutamente!
RECENSIONELa trilogia si compone dei seguenti titoli:Shadow and Bone: a cui ho dato una valutazione di 5/5 stelleSiege and Storm: a cui ho dato una valutazione di 4.5/5 stelleRuin and Rising: a cui ho assegnato 4.3/5 stelleAvevo acquistato il cofanetto completo della trilogia prima di verificare che mi piacesse il primo libro e che la volessi continuare. Ma ero sicura che non mi avrebbe deluso, anche se non immaginavo sarebbe stata così bella. Ha superato ogni mia aspettativa! Tra l'altro il cofanetto contiene un bellissimo poster con la mappa del mondo Grisha, ed è più grande di quello che mi aspettavo!Tutto in questa serie è perfetto, dalla storia, ai personaggi, fino alle ambientazioni. Il mondo creato dalla Bardugo è intrigante e coinvolgente, ricco di dettagli.Il concetto della Piega Oscura è molto interessante. La Bardugo non fa dell'oscurità una metafora, ma prende il concetto alla lettera: un posto reale; regno delle creature più malvagie. L'oscurità è il loro territorio e, per sconfiggerli, bisogna entrarvi fisicamente.Nella creazione di questo mondo, la Bardugo si è ispirata alla Russia dell'età imperiale. Ciò è evidente in ogni pagina: l'enorme sfarzo e l'abbondanza di colori; la grande discrepanza tra le classi povere e quelle ricche; il fallimento nel sviluppare l'industrie; il vasto esercito coscritto. Anche i nomi, e le terminologie ricordano vagamente, anche se inventata, la lingua russa.Ho letto la serie tutta d'un fiato, un libro di seguito all'altro. Mi è piaciuta anche di più di Six of Crows, nonostante non sia un'opinione popolare. Se cercate più azione, credo che la duologia di Six of Crows faccia più al caso vostro. Se come me, vi piacciono molto le atmosfere fiabesche, cattivi affascinanti e grandi storie d'amore, allora "Shadow and Bone" farà al caso vostro. In entrambe, ci sono bellissimi personaggi sviluppati magnificamente.Appena incontriamo Alina, è una ragazza debole, insicura, incapace di badare a se stessa e facilmente influenzabile. La vedremo diventare pian piano una donna più sicura di sé, indipendente, dura, e pronta a tutto pur di mettere fine all'oscurità che regna nel suo mondo.Alina scoprirà all'inizio della storia di non essere una semplice orfana, ma di essere in realtà una Grisha. E non una semplice Grisha, ma una delle più potenti: scoprirà di essere un'Evocatrice del Sole, l'unica capace di poter porre fine alla Piaga Oscura e salvare il suo regno. Verrà strappata dal mondo che ha sempre conosciuto, e dal suo migliore amico Mal, con cui è cresciuta e per cui nutre da sempre un'amore segreto. Finirà sotto le cure del misterioso The Darkling, ed è qui che la storia si fa interessante.Non leggevo un libro con un cattivo così affascinante dai tempi di Sebastian di "The Mortal Instruments". Nonostante sia crudele, vi sarà impossibile non amarlo. Durante la lettura della serie, bramavo l'arrivo delle sue scene. In "Siege and Storm" putroppo non è presente come nel primo libro, ma le poche scene in cui lo è, insieme al cliff hanger epico, varranno la pena di proseguire con la lettura. Il finale della serie mi ha lasciato un po' di amarezza. Mi rendevo conto di desiderare cose impossibili, ma tutto sommato sono molto soddisfatta del finale.The Darkling è la perla di questa serie, e vi consiglio di leggerla solo per lui. Leigh Bardugo ha creato un leader carismatico e estremamente affascinante. Tutti sono intrigati da lui, e vi troverete a voler credere ad ogni sua menzogna. The Darkling è bellissimo e malvagio, ma c'è anche molta sofferenza in lui. Ci sono tratti in cui vediamo tracce del ragazzo giovane e distrutto che si nasconde dietro la sua facciata. Ha avuto un'infanzia difficile e per questo, nonostante tutto, è impossibile non provare pena per lui. Ma è anche brutale, un mostro manipolatore, che non ha per niente a cuore le vite umane. The Darkling è pericoloso perché è seducente, e proprio perché evoca simpatia. Alina si troverà quindi ad affrontare questa non salutare attrazione che però è impossibile non provare per lui.In conclusione, è una trilogia che vale assolutamente la pena di leggere, e invito tutti a recuperare. Difficilmente vi lascerà delusi.In Italia è stato pubblicato solo il primo libro dalla Piemme, con il titolo "Tenebre e Ghiaccio". Non è mai stata continuata la traduzione, e probabilmente non vedremmo mai gli ultimi due pubblicati in italiano; così come probabilmente non vedremo mai la duologia di Six of Crows in Italia.L'inglese della trilogia di Grisha è molto più semplice, sopratutto rispetto a quello di Six of Crows. L'ho trovato facile e super scorrevole, quindi potreste provare a leggerla in lingua anche se non avete un livello super elevato di inglese.
A peice of art
The books were delivered in perfect condition... Love it 😀
very good
okay I got this book on my birthday and loved all of the books there was no NetFlix sticker and I'm very happy I just got six of crows and crooked kingdom the reason I know this book is because of booktok and I love it can't wait to read all of Leigh Bardugos books like I said I got six of crows I'm guessing that there will be a permanent sticker for Netflix there but I will be happy if the wrong book will not come even if i am not happy about them. I threw the book at the end I was very mad very but I will recommend the book to everyone it has romance so i will say for 11+ the reason is I think they are old enough I'm also 11 years old I love this book I cried because I finished the series I finished it last night at like 2 am get this book bye
A great trilogy
Absolutely great quality the box and the books are in perfect condition also to anyone who is wandering of this trilogy is worth it or not , I would like to assure you that it is absolutely worth it and I would like to recommend that you read the Six of Crows it takes place two years after the events of the final book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy.
A gem
My two complaints are: Mal. The Darkling’s lack of a clear motive in the first two tomes. (even though Mal alone deserves -25 stars).Other than that this series is truly a chef’s kiss! It got immersive world-building, not pointless explanation of what kvas is and other things like that. It’s written in first pov, WHO exactly would she be telling what this everyday thing is? XD You get context clues: a drink, easily accessible, disgusting. There you go, it’s beer!One other thing that I love about this series is the believable characters, their changes in character depending on what’s happening around them, making them even more so realistic. Alina isn’t some perfect new girl like Bella Swan, she’s ordinary af! She has flaws, but she’s almost smart. She doesn’t need rescuing.Anyway, you don’t need any convincing from me to read these books. Just do yourself a favour!
