Blurb:
The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.
Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite—the Grisha. Could she be the key to unravelling the dark fabric of the Shadow Fold and setting Ravka free?
The Darkling, a creature of seductive charm and terrifying power, leader of the Grisha. If Alina is to fulfill her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him.
But what of Mal, Alina’s childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can’t she ever quite forget him?
Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance.
Review:
I loved this book. Especially the world the author makes and how it's so mysterious and magical, but also has it's dark side. I also liked how Alina is a tom boy at first and kind of grows into herself as the book progresses. I loved Mal. His character was a very good love interest as he is the best friend and starts to realise how he feels. It's a good romance. I found this book very hard to put down and would definately recommend it to others.
Sequels:
Siege and Storm
Ruin and Rising
