Shadow and Bone

The world, the magic, the characters- even the antagonists were amazing! The settings were beautiful, and the plot (as expected) was filled with twists and turns that led you farther into the world.

Alina's character appealed to me, for some reason she just did, and I couldn't really think of anything that made me dislike her. I liked where the plot took us near the end, and I eagerly await book 2.

The only bad thing, is that I really liked the villain and discovered I'm a sucker for hot antagonists in fiction. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?! (But then there's Loki....)

Other than that little incident, I loved it. 4 stars.
