Welcome back to Can't Wait Wednesday! This is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at wishfulendings. The purpose is to feature a book, usually one that is not yet published, that we would like to read. I will expand this meme to talk about books on my TBR. The book I will feature today is Shadow and Bone, the first book in the Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo.
Goodreads Summary
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.
Why I want to read this- they hype This book and I want to see how the book lives up to all the hype. I have come across some people that loved the book and the series, and some that have not loved it as much as others. I love the vibes this book gives off from the summary, and I can't wait to dive into the world.
This really does sound fantastic -- I hope it's a fabulous read!
