The Shadow and Bone Trilogy Boxed Set: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising

I loved watching the series on Netflix, but I love the books even more. The emotions, tensions, complexity of characters and the chemistry brought forth on the pages are all sublime! I really loved the ending and how everything came together. Wish I could continue reading about the life of Alina and Mal!

I have to say, I was nervous to read these at first because this isn't my typical genre of books, But these were amazing to me. I read all three books in 3 days (I didn't want to put them down!) then the other 2 in the series (Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom) right after.Shadow and Bone.... I think what was good for me was to see the Netflix show first. I didn't watch the entire series, but it gave me enough to better visualize the Characters in the book. I loved them all... I thought they each brought something to the story. I am very much a Villian fan, so The Darkling was my absolute favorite. I couldn't help but fall in love with his character.I would highly recommend these books to those that like the Fantasy Genre with out alot of mushy romance stuff getting in the way.This is about Hope, Betrayal, Friendship and the love of Ravka....Must Read!

Wow!! WOW!! I loved every single direction these book took me in!! Now, I know this book, series...may not be everyone's cup of tea. But for me, this has become on of my favorites!!This series had me laughing in so many areas. It's those one liners, or the who cares remarks, or the over confident replies...whether from Nikolai, Zoya, Tamar. But I also literally shed tears as well!! Bravo!! Not an easy thing to do in a book. Seriously!!I actually loved the ending. While in the first book I loved Mal, the second I was kinda over him. But couldn't decide if I was team Nikolai or team darkling. I'm really kind of liked them both in different ways. The last book changed how I felt about each of them. Including Mal.I really felt connected to each of the characters in this series. I crave strong character and world building in my stories. I want to feel like I was plunged right in the middle of everything like I lived it too. Boy did I!!I cant wait to read the Six of Crows duology and see where it goes from here!! I'm excited!!

The good - Pretty cool story line from what little I remember of the first season Netflix show but it definitely has allll the fill in the blanks detail typical of a book vs movie remake. Each character is easy to understand and determine who is who. Definitely easy to read and doesn’t have too much crazy old English or big boy words for me to figure out. The author spends time unfolding the story line or character back story or imagination of what to come and it leaves you wanting more for sure. I like the little map at the front which helps you understand the lifestyle of what’s going on and I had to reference it multiple times as I was reading.The bad/ok? - I swear the show is moving everyone to the east? At least from camera angles so that got consuming when reading about The Fold and location of other towns and cities so don’t let the Netflix show influence this book it’ll mess you up. Idk if this is the ADHD can’t sit still so I never read in my life speaking or not but, it’s sort of weird figuring out who is talking sometimes. There’s many instances that 3 people are within a conversation and the convo jump between them can get confusing but could be my ignorance within reading doing that. Plus every sentence I read I pick up ok things I remember from the show and that makes me have to reread it.The WTH - As always you question how shipping or quality will go with this type of thing. Everything seems in good shape but the third photo I’ll post will show a cut on the inside of a beginning page. It looks very clean so more than likely it came from production and I haven’t found any other issues so it’s minor but still a little wack. Also why do you have to publish the corny Netflix sticker on it and ruin the look of the book? Put it on the wrapper. K I’m done

The media could not be loaded. Was looking for a good fantasy series that was easy to read. I'm a newer reader so I needed a story line and world building that was easy to follow. I absolutely LOVED this series. As I was reading, I realized I already watched the show on Netflix, but the books were so much better. Read all three books in a weeks time. Highly recommend the Shadow & Bone series.

box was a little beat up on the corners but I dont mind! Love the book trilogy
