The Shadow and Bone Trilogy

eloshik shared a tip "Elina gets on my nerves man 😀 she gave me pick-me vibes from the start, and it felt like she thought her life was harder than everyone else’s and always showed it. Also, I NEVER felt tension between her and MAL, if anything it was completely awkward to read. The Darkling deserved sm better too man."

book_nerd09 shared a tip "There is some mild swearing and suggested sex scenes, but not in too much detail. The third one has a few sexual scenes, but only in a small amount of detail and fades to black after they start. Otherwise it’s a very clean series, but a little on the dark side. (Lots of eye mutilation and death though) really good series! It’s also meant to be read before the Six Of Crows, which I didn’t realize until later on, and it would’ve helped with a lot of my confusion while reading Six of Crows 😹"

logan.g shared a tip "My goodness! Definitely one of the most incredible book series I have ever read!! An amazing plot with great characters and an amazing world! Thanks to Leigh Bardugo!"

ella_lancaster shared a tip "I really love the Grishaverse, but I wasn't attached to any of the characters other than Nikolai, and maybe the Darkling... I also didn't love the ending. I would give the series as a whole 3.5/5 stars."

explodingtardis10 shared a tip "This series is truly worth all of the hype surrounding it. I was not disappointed given the expectations I had going into the experience of reading the trilogy. I feel it gets better book by book. The mythos of the Grishaverse interested me immensely. I'm so happy that there are other series that take place in the same universe."

sutton_reads shared a tip "It’s an interesting premise. The writing is young and the plot is not complicated, but it’s a good intro into the world of Grishaverse. Other books in this world are the Six of Crows duology and the King of Scars duology."

cannot_dog-ear_pages shared a tip "This series was so good!!! I read it in 3 days with no regrets. And the ending!! So freakin good I’m obsessed. Going to read the six of crows duo next!"

regina0 shared a tip "This may sound weird but I feel like the romance arc of Malina was not very impactful to me. I think this is because I saw all the Darklina hype on booktok and thought there was gonna be a redemption arc :/ Anyone else have similar feelings on this book or others?"

caclt_grace shared a tip "The first book of this trilogy was amazing with a lot of interesting things happening that made me want to continue reading. When you start reading the last two they don’t interest me as much and a lot of it is just “fluff.” Overall I would say an amazing trilogy"

teresa_moore shared a tip "Six of Crows is awesome too! I’m currently trying to read her newest book Ninth House but I’m kinda in a reading slump. (Not because of the book)"

kc_liz shared a tip "This was one of the best series I have read in a while. The characters are so life like that I fell in love instantly! Highly recommend!"

mavenstoothbrush shared a tip "Darkling poor baby just didn’t wanna be alone but still he could of like been good? And maybe destroyed the fold? Silly Aleskander"

ShalainaLalonde shared a tip "ITs really good and awesome universe (Grishaverse) and well written and its a lot to take in but once I understood I could NOT put it down!"

anna-grace shared a tip "Short and action packed. The world building is unmatched save tolkien and lewis. Highly highly recommend this or any of Leigh's books!"

emily_dickerson_6608 shared a tip "Best last book in a trilogy I think I’ve ever read. Such a satisfying ending. Twist I didn’t see coming. I almost wish I could erase it from my mind so I could read it for the first time again. (I’ll read it again anyway)"

mason_kelling shared a tip "Very well trilogy from start to finish every detail was perfectly placed along the way. A must read and then watch the tv show on Netflix. Perfect for a snowy day or a long trip."

monica_mcmillan shared a tip "I did! My favorite part has to be when they discover that Mal is one of the amplifiers, I thought it was such a good twist to the story and explained why they felt so connected in the series"

jasmine_7248 shared a tip "I just finished this trilogy and loved it so much! I was so sad to have finished it but i’m excited to read more books from this author."

michaela_decastro shared a tip "The third book, Ruin and Rising is the best. The second one is a little slow, but still good! Overall, I rate the whole series a 4/5 #grishaverse #shadowandbone #alinastarkov"

christine_mcnutt shared a tip "Hmmm. Nothing comes to mind. It’s been awhile since I read it! Overall, I enjoyed the series though. The first book was the best for sure."

dorian_delgado shared a tip "This series is FREAKIN GREAT! ❤️ I could not put any of them down. Magical & Action packed! #leighbardugo #shadowandbone #grisha #grishaverse #sunsummoner #darkling"

veronica_night shared a tip "I loved this series! It has many twists and turns. Although it is not what I would classify as enemies to lovers, the hero and villain do have a small thing for each other. My personal favorite was Siege and Storm"

sienna_gingrich shared a tip "I really liked the first book. The second was harder to read just because how the amplifiers were affecting Alena. But it was a could series"
