Shadow and Bone Boxed Set Shadow and Bone Trilogy

This trilogy scared me off for a while because of the hype it got but as soon as I picked up the first one, this series had me in a chokehold! I loved every second of reading this. The characters, the world, the magic system - it's amazing! Okay, some characters are definetly the worst but each of them had a deeper story and that made the characters so much more real! The character developement Alina and Mal (and all of the others, but especially those two) went through was amazing and the story had me trembling with anticipation for what comes next! The story takes unexpected turns and leaves respect to each character. Even the morally-not-so-great ones! After I closed the last book I felt as if I had just returned home after a long but amazing journey and I can't wait to start with the other "Grishaverse" books!

I have a love hate relationship with this book series. Reading the books series was like a roller coaster ride. There are characters you love and characters you hate, humor und suspense. The ending wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but still okay.
