I liked Shadow and Bone. The story flowed well and was really easy to read. The characters were interesting, although I would have liked for them to have more depth. The romance was pretty blah. The world building was decent. The action was pretty fun. All in all, I really enjoyed this book and I'm excited to continue the series. ( ) Interesting enough, though not particularly meaty. A lot of setup, a middle that drags, and then a rushed move to the ending/pause point in the overarching story line. There are a number of secondary characters I hope are in the later installments of the series because they were some of the more interesting ones. It's very light reading that won't strain anyone in the slightest, nor befuddle any expectations. It definitely has a YA feel, and not one of the more challenging YA books at that. The writing is competent without striking the reader as brilliant. I was a little disconcerted to have my Kindle tell me I was 87% done and hit the last page. There's a lot of filler at the end, including lengthy excerpts from two of her other books. Beyond that, you've got the usual suspects when it comes to themes. If you go in expecting the story not to tread any new ground, then it's palatable. If you're looking for something novel, this isn't it. I'd say read it if you're a real fan of YA fantasy, particularly the "orphan/peasant/ordinary person who find they're actually super powerful." Sort of like Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Will Stanton, or a host of others.
The point I am attempting to make via this very long and rather rambling article is that Shadow and Bone is absolutely knock-your-socks-off amazing and just so different from your average YA fantasy. It is addictive, beautiful, fantastical and I just can't recommend it enough. Literally everyone will love it: fantasy lovers; historical fiction lovers; magic lovers; lovers of strong characters and amazing relationships. And, of course, not forgetting the two gorgeous lead guys for us girls. È contenuto inÈ riassunto inPremi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
