Product Information

Just wait for the daring rogue Nikolai to join the fold in Season 2 — covering explosive events of both Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising — streaming now! Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Follow Alina Starkov through Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising as she discovers her dormant powers and is swept up in a world of luxury and illusion.

Alina is a clever, sympathetic character I will gladly follow into the next installment--which can't come soon enough!" --Veronica Roth, New York Times-bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone

While there are many themes in The Grisha Trilogy, the biggest is the struggle for power. You see it between the three nations - Ravka, Shu Han and Fjerda. You even see it between Alina and the Darkling, Nikolai and his brother and father (the royal family), the Grisha and everyone else. But there’s also Alina’s struggle with herself and her identity. Before she became Grisha and the Sun Summoner, she was an orphan who didn’t fit in anywhere, who was in love with her best friend and wanted something that was just hers and hers alone. Over the course of the story, Alina becomes a person almost completely unrecognizable from who she was when we first met her. She becomes less naive and feeble, becomes much more brutal and strong and Martyr-like than even the Darkling or the Apparat could have expected.Editing my review to add on that I finished book 2, Siege and Storm, and book 3, Ruin and Rising. I finished them last week but didn't want to leave the world behind and read something else, so I just started the first one again a few days ago. I am again done with the first and started on the second.

Ich muss sagen ich habe mich sehr gefreut, als ich erfahren habe, dass die berühmt berüchtigte Grisha Reihe als Schuber erscheinen wird. Ich wollte unbedingt erfahren, ob die Reihe den Hype wirklich wert ist und was es mit der allgemeinen Begeisterung auf sich hat. die Grisha-Trilogie ist spürbar mehr Jugendbuch als das Krähen-Duo, in dem die Protagonisten zwar ein ähnliches Alter hatten wie Alina und Mal, aber deutlich erwachsener und reifer, komplexer und vielschichtiger auf mich wirkten. Hinzu kommt, dass ich mit den beiden Hauptcharakteren Alina und Mal nicht recht warm wurde, ich fand sie blass und mich ihre wie auch immer geartete Beziehung genervt hat. Dennoch gibt es auch in dieser Reihe tolle, spannende und faszinierende Figuren, bei denen ich mich auf eine Wiederlesen freue … auch wenn nicht alle meine Lieblinge das Ende der Trilogie erleben durften. Filled with lush descriptions, intriguing magic, and plenty of twists, this memorable adventure offers action and intrigue mixed with an undercurrent of romance and danger.”— Publishers Weekly on Shadow and BoneYou don't need to be a practitioner of the small science to be done with Shadow and Bone season 2 and eager to know if the show is returning for another season. Come to me for information about Shadow and Bone season 3 . Whether you're a crows girlie, love the Darkling, or love to hate him, we're gonna get through this together.

Jetzt kommen wir natürlich zum spannendsten Teil der Rezension! Nämlich, wie mir die Geschichte bzw. das inhaltliche Gefallen hat. Wie ich in meiner Rezension zu Band 1 schon erwähnte, ist der Schreibstil der Autorin etwas anspruchsvoll. Es ist nichts was man so nebenbei lesen kann und man muss sich wirklich beim lesen konzentrieren damit der wundervolle Schreibstil der Autorin auch seine Wirkung entfaltet! Denn dann wird man in eine Welt hineingerissen, die einen gefangen nimmt und verzaubert. Ich konnte mir fast alles bildlich vorstellen, denn die Autorin schafft es mit ihren detailreichen Beschreibungen, diese Bilder entstehen zu lassen. See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone . Just wait for the daring rogue Nikolai to join the fold in Season 2 -- covering explosive events of both Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising -- streaming now! Ich fand das Liebesdrama zwischen Alina und Mal relativ unnötig und irgendwann nur noch nervig. Wie gesagt, es war da, weil es halt in ein Jugendbuch gehört, aber ich fand die Charaktere einfach egoistisch und unkommunikativ.I finished Shadow and Bone - for maybe the 3rd time! - on March 13th after starting it on March 11th. I both read my edition of it and listened to the audiobook! I'm going to increase my rating to the full five stars. I was glad that the Darkling was killed, although I was also sorta sad. I had been hoping he would turn out to see things from Alina's POV and that he and Alina would then have a future together.. But sadly, it was not to be. Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Follow Alina Starkov through Shadow and Bone , Siege and Storm , and Ruin and Rising as she discovers her dormant powers and is swept up in a world of luxury and illusion. As Alina struggles to fit into her new life, a threat to the kingdom of Ravka grows--one that will test old alliances and challenge the very limits of magic, one that will forge a leader from a frightened girl.

Super character development with fallible, but likeable characters. Great world building-- a completely fictional setting, but the author seamlessly builds the world so I feel right at home. Good dialogue and exciting plot development. The author kept me guessing, and even when I recognized clues early on for a huge development later, she developed it in a way I did not expect. Great ending....it was sad, but felt both realistic and satisfying. Bardugo can write. I got though the second and third even if I threw it down a few times in frustration. But this series would have benefitted GREATLY by being a two-book series. Then again…I am 27. Angsty teen me might have loved all the insubstantial fluff. Inhaltlich bin ich leider nicht ganz so euphorisch, wie bei der Gestaltung und den Vergleich zum Krähen-Duo kann die Trilogie nicht standhalten, aber missen möchte ich die Geschichte um Alina und Mal dennoch nicht, schon allein, weil die neue Reihe der Autorin „King of Scars“ auf diese Trilogie aufbaut und wir dort dann sowohl auf alte Bekannte der Krähen als auch der Grisha-Reihe treffen werden – worauf ich mich sehr freue. Allgemein mochte ich Mal nicht sonderlich gern. Für den Loveinterest, den man mögen soll, hat er aber selten wirklich sympathisch auf mich gewirkt. Er war oft einfach egoistisch und hat Sachen nur gemacht, weil er rebellisch sein wollte oder nicht nachgedacht hat.Das ist der beste Band der Reihe, da alles neu und faszinierend ist. Vom Plot her beginnt es aber wie jede ander Fantasy Jugendbuchgeschichte auch. Die Welt macht es zu was besonderem. Allerdings gibt es in diesem Band zu wenig Worldbuilding. Besonders die Schule wird kaum erklärt. Es stellen sich so viele Fragen, die nicht beantwortet werden, da Alina sowieso nicht lange dort bleibt. Es schien alles so schnell abzulaufen, obwohl angeblich einiges an Zeit vergangen sein soll. And Mal…what happened? He gets flattened out so that he is no longer a real character….he is a tool. He literally says so and gets it tattooed on himself *gags*. I liked him in the first book. He seemed to have a life outside of worshiping Alina. That's a plus to me, for an intriguing romance (likely why there are so many Darkling and Nikoli shippers out there). Again, there is a quasi-explanation offered, but it was cold comfort and didn't make much sense to me: his destiny was tied to Alina's, sure, but he could still have developed as a character rather than regressed to a tortured troupe. With a heroine who is stubborn and constantly on the verge of heading down a dark path, a villain who sometimes seems too human to deal with, and supporting characters that you never want to see hurt again, the characters are definitely the strongest part about this series. Especially the Darkling. He is absolutely monstrous but there are so many times where you can’t help but like him. He is dark, manipulative and unbearably raw in a way that makes him one of the most interesting villains I’ve read. Aside from him, each of the characters and their stories, personalities, flaws and strengths are what make this story so hard to step away from. this scene just broke my heart! Probably the most unforgettable across the entire series! Followed by that scene where he told Alina her name. The one tattoed to his heart. The name he never told anyone and only his mother knew of.)
