Shadow and Bone: The Collector's Edition

Super spannend, grandioses World-Building, liebe den FMC, auch wenn viele sagen sie wäre pessimistisch und langweilig, ihr Entscheidung sind rational, anders als bei vielen anderen Hauptcharakteren. Spoiler: Obwohl der Darkling böse wird mag ich ihn immernoch :,( nur den Buch-Darkling aber, in der Netflix Serie ist er komisch.

Ich habe die Reihe tatsächlich erst auf deutsch gelesen, ehe ich auf diese wunderschöne Ausgabe gestoßen bin und sie mir natürlich sofort holen musste. Eine wundervolle Collector Edition, die wirklich jeder Shadow and Bone Fan braucht! Jetzt warte ich noch auf die letzten beiden, um meine Kollektion zu vervollständigen.

Das Buch ist nach einem kleinen einführenden Teil sehr spannend und man freut sich auf die weiteren Teile, die noch besser werden.

One of the best books I have read in a while. It’s written in a very sophisticated way and always keeps you guessing on what’s about to happen next. Definitely a 10/10 and would recommend it to all book readers.

I wanted to put this book aside many times. When I felt, how much it hurt the girl to be of no importance. When the boy and the girl entered the Unsea for the first time. When everything got worse and they were parted. But I couldn't. And when I finished it I feared to start the next volume. Because I knew the peace they fled into would not be allowed to last. I was right. It took me two days to get back to reading and when I started the second volume I would only pause to buy the third. One could argue the characters are well known. The plain and unknown girl to be a mighty magician. The oh so common handsome boy trying to keep her as friend and the ancient and mighty villain. Dark und cruel. But the characters reveal themselves slowly. They grow und as the story unfolds so do they. Eventually the ensemble grows and magic is flanked by science and enthusiasm leaving me breathless. I will not retell the story. Leigh Bardugo is so much more talented in doing it than me. But I recommend this piece of writing to everyone as deeply in love with fantastic stories as I am. Its worth every minute you spend on it. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It suprised and shocked me. There are so many ideas worth thinking about in this three books that I really look forward to the Leigh Bardugos other books. I hope you'll enjoy this triology as much as I did.
