Blurb
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.
My Opinion
This book has been on my want to read list for a very long time and I have finally found the time to sit down and read the start of this series. I really enjoyed reading this and I found myself getting it read in two relatively short sittings. This is my first book by Leigh Bardugo but it will not be my last - I am hoping to read the next book in this series shortly.
Why has it taken me so long to start reading this?
Rating 4/5
