From Goodreads: The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite—the Grisha.

Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance.
My Thoughts:
- I really love the world that Bardugo created. It is based on countries I know, but it is still a unique new place.
- The characters were good, but I wasn't in love with them. I hope to get a better connection in the next book.
- I really liked Genya. She was a fun side character, and I really want to learn more about her. It would be awesome to have her power!
- The story was really great! I was fascinated with what was going on, and I wanted to learn more. I knew there had to be a catch to everything that Alina was going through.
- The ending is wide open for more, and the story is definitely not finished, but it wasn't a huge cliffhanger.
- I really like how magic works. It was really thought out and makes sense.
- I really don't have many thoughts on this book. It was a fun read, and I just cruised through it. It wasn't deep or complicated. I just enjoyed the ride.
I'm kind of with you. The characters were good but I didn't get a total connection. I've heard the next book is better.
