Sofia (sofloaf) YESSSS IT'S RANT TIME


message 9: by Sofia (new)

Sofia (sofloaf) So... I really hated this book. It was full of cliches and whiny characters and love geometry and everything else I hate. Alina was your typical "I'm not pretty but everyone loves me" protagonist full of sass. The plot? Basically, she sat around at some school where a bunch of mean girls gossiped and waited for things to happen.

Here's my review.
I forgot to mention how much I despise Mal Oretsev.


message 11: by Sofia (new)

Sofia (sofloaf) I can see why people would like it, though, and reading it was helpful when I started the Six of Crows duology, which is much better.

But seriously, is it that bad?


Carla ♡ (iseo_) Sofia wrote: "I can see why people would like it, though, and reading it was helpful when I started the Six of Crows duology, which is much better." I'm reading the series to understand better the six of crows duology which I'm so anxious to read, and yeah, I can tell that Alina... well it's just not my type of character but I think the book is so easy to read that it's entertaining at that point, maybe I'll change my mind while finishing it, who knows...

Oh yes! :D


Paige I just finished reading Shadow and Bone, and I really liked it! I'm starting on Siege and Storm rn.


Tisha (theyaqueen) | 378 comments I read Shadow and Bone just last month, and it wasn't that bad. I mean, it didn't WOW me, but there are a few entertaining bits. And I think I might have given up Seige and Storm if not for -ahem- Sturmhond. But Six of Crows is simply awesome, so there's that.


message 49: by Johanna (new) - added it

Johanna (5886046-johanna) I actually read this also in this month, before I joined this group 😂
This was okay read, I enjoyed reading. But I didn't love Alina, and there was moments I started to really wait something to happen. Genya was interesting character and I liked how the characters weren't only black or white. The ball evening was magical, I loved the atmosphere! The ending was better than beginning of the book and I would love to see what's going to happen to Genya and even Baghra. And I loved that creepy priest and I have the feeling he is going to have a bigger role in the next one. I wouldn't have mind a bit more scary things because there could have been.


Carla ♡ (iseo_) I thought the same as you Johanna! for me the second book was a little bit boring but the last one is absolutely the best in the series, you might like that one. At least we have a new character in the second book that it's worth it: Nikolai.
