I watched the series on Netflix and loved it so much I had to pick up the book. There are some key differences between the show and book, but the overall story is the same. I absolutely adore the worldbuilding and characters created in this book, and plan to read the rest of the series. I did find Alina's character a bit frustrating in the first few chapters, but as she grew and embraced who she is, I found her more endearing. I particularly loved the Darkling's character, and am eager for more. ( )
The point I am attempting to make via this very long and rather rambling article is that Shadow and Bone is absolutely knock-your-socks-off amazing and just so different from your average YA fantasy. It is addictive, beautiful, fantastical and I just can't recommend it enough. Literally everyone will love it: fantasy lovers; historical fiction lovers; magic lovers; lovers of strong characters and amazing relationships. And, of course, not forgetting the two gorgeous lead guys for us girls.

The servants called them malenchki, little ghosts, because they were the smallest and the youngest, and because they haunted the Duke’s house like giggling phantoms, darting in and out of rooms, hiding in cupboards to eavesdrop, sneaking into the kitchen to steal the last of the summer peaches.
