The "Shadow and Bone" Trilogy

(SPOILER FREE)

The "Shadow and Bone" trilogy (books) is a blend of romance, fantasy, and adventure. If you are interested in any or all of these book genres, I definitely recommend reading this book.

There are three books in the series: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising.

It takes place in another universe/dimension and follows a young girl named Alina Starkov. Alina has always felt like an outsider, she is insecure of the way she looks and is. Never did she expect to gain an undiscovered Grisha power.

Grisha are the special humans who have control of different powers. These powers include Heartrenders, Fabrikators, and Ethrealki. You can learn what powers they control as you read the book.

When Alina gains these powers, she doesn't want them. She just wanted her old life back, never did she want or expect to have these powers.

Anyways, she is told that she has a job to do, to close the Shadow Fold. The Shadow Fold is the area of their universe that stretches across the area and is full of darkness and monsters. If darkness were a real place, it would be the Shadow Fold.

She meets the Darkling, someone who possesses the power to control darkness. He was always seen as mysterious and evil, but Alina and him create a close and strong relationship as the book continues. 

The overall series is definitely worth the read and when I read it I couldn't stop. I finished the series within a short timespan.
