I liked Shadow and Bone overall, but it didn’t fully hit for me. The world-building is honestly great. Ravka, the Fold, the whole Grisha system felt really cool and immersive. But I just didn’t feel the stakes as much as I wanted to, even in big moments. And I had a hard time connecting with the characters, especially Alina. I didn’t dislike them, I just didn’t feel super invested.
