KING OF SCARS by Leigh Bardugo

July 19, 2019

Book cover & 3-star rating for KING OF SCARS by Leigh BardugoAs much as I enjoyed the Six of Crows duology, I have no love lost for the original Grisha trilogy. Nonetheless, Nikolai still managed to win me over for his charm and wit. That’s why I was excited when Leigh Bardugo announced a spin-off duology dedicated to him.

SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo

February 17, 2017

Book cover & rating - SIX OF CROWS by Leigh BardugoSix of Crows was an intimidating book to go into. I had problems with Shadow and Bone, and liked the sequels in The Grisha trilogy even less. Needless to say, a spin-off series set in the same world didn’t appeal to me. Thing is, I already owned a copy of Six of Crows (bought it before even reading The Grisha), so I tried to downplay the hype in my mind and dove in. Buddy reading with Crini, Elaine and Sana was an added incentive. What came of it? I actually liked the book quite a lot!

SHADOW AND BONE (The Grisha #1) by Leigh Bardugo

April 27, 2015

Book cover of SHADOW AND BONE (The Grisha #1) by Leigh BardugoThe best part of Shadow and Bone was the setting. I loved that it was Russian-inspired, which lent the book a fair bit of intrigue for me. When it comes to fantasy, the more imaginative the setting, the better. It offers a lot to work with in terms of world building and invites readers into a new realm.
