Hannah Azerang's Reviews > Shadow and Bone

imo the first one is the worst of them all. I don't think Grisha is nearly as good as SoC but! I still really enjoyed it. I hope you do too

I liked Shadow And Bone the most of the Grisha trilogy. I gave it 5 stars (I think). I think it would be a 4-4.5 stars now though. I just thought it was written really well, and it kept me hooked.

hey just wondering, is six of crows a companion series ?? can you read it before the grisha trilogy or is it better to read this trilogy before hand ??

Six of Crows takes place after the events of the Grisha Trilogy but with all new characters. You can really read them in any order, I think it's just a matter of preference. I personally read Six of Crows before reading Shadow and Bone.

I hope this helps! <3

Which do you like better, shadow and bone or six of crows??

Ahhh, I'm delighted to see your feelings toward the Darkling have changed. Honestly, if I'd read this series as a teenager I'm certain I would have been rooting for the dark pretty boy with powers and a wounded spirit... But I read it as a grown ass woman and was just appalled with how much the Darkling did NOT qualify as a romantic interest. Makes one hell of a nemesis though! 👍👍

PLS I just finished this book for the first time and wrote of review that you do NOT want to see if you love this book. I gave it 2⭐️ 🥲

this makes me so happy lol

omg this was unexpected i’m so curious!! what changed?
the first is the best to me i actually rly love it (the next 2... bye), but omg i am a huge darkling wh#re and ferocious darklina stan at the big age of 21yo tho 0% shame

Siege and Storm was my favourite book! NIKOLAI

would u change where u put it on the series tier list?

"i can't believe i was a darkling stan" lmao Hannah T_T

Nikolai was the only reason i completed the whole series...and let's be real we know u gave the trilogy another go because of the upcoming Netflix show, I'm glad u liked it this time tho

a few years ago i read the first book, and i had no intention of finishing the series. then i read six of crows, and somehow i decided to give it another chance. i read the trilogy last year and REALLY enjoyed it! it's pretty amazing how a reread can change one's perception of a book/story and i'm so happy for you that you enjoyed it!

Omg everyone is telling me to read shadow and bone before six of crows so I was no reading cuz I don't wanna read shadow and bone at this moment but after knowing that you read SOC before shadow and bone I'm gonna start reading SoC today!! Thanks bro xoxo

The darkling just hits different... 🥺🥺

No worries girl, I think we were all darkling stans once.. haha

same

Always loved Mal....I thought somethings wrong with me when everyone was shipping darklina😬

Saw everyone stan the Darkling before I read it, so I was fully expecting to love a dark mysterious broody powerful character. Then I actually read it and I’m team Mal all the way. What a bean. I love their banter. Just starting book 2 and I’m pumped.

Aleksander is such an interesting and complex character to me. I cannot just simply label him as “bad”. And I think it’s really a waste of a great character and narrative to just see him like that.
I’ve always found “villains” more interesting than heroes, I find it so intriguing to know why they did the things they did, what turned them into that person.
I think he honestly deserves to have a redemption arc, and I’m really rooting to see something like that happening in the series. I haven’t read the books (I’m now starting), but from what I’ve been told, the book narrative is predictable, celebrating Mal and his hero complex, so I know I won’t get my redemption arc there, but I’m rooting for the series to see the potential of Aleksander’s character.
I really think his character should not just be reduced to “bad guy”. He’s a grey character, and I honestly feel that he has such potential that could be developed and able to make the narrative and the whole story richer.

ikr

Then are you laughing at yourself and all the current people shipping Feysand and Jude/cardan?

Lol I was a darkling stan too until like the last 50 pages of the book
