After reading "Six of Crows" and "Crooked Kingdom" by Leigh Bardugo and starting the new Netflix show Shadow and Bone based on Bardugo's Grisha universe, I decided to go back to where it began and read the novel where it all started—"Shadow and Bone."
I enjoyed this novel, but I didn't love it, like "Crooked Kingdom," which I reviewed here. I think mostly this is because this first novel is just that, the first in this universe. Even though it was only a few years, by the time Bardugo wrote "Six of Crows," which directly preceded "Crooked Kingdom," she was already a very different and better writer. Ultimately, it's a serviceable fantasy story if you're looking for something to read, but the best stuff comes in later books.
