Bookish Travels

Hold your grip everyone! This book will blow you a real fantasy experience through reading! Shadow and Bone has a lot to offer the readers because it covers many aspects in the society (reality) that turned into fiction-kick ass portrayal, friendship, trust, betrayal and magic. This is tricky, lovely and amazing book. I love fantasy. I love Shadow and Bone! PLOT SUMMARY: Alina Starkov is a teenaged orphan, a citizen of Kingdom of Ravka. She grew up with Mal Oretsev. As the story begins they are marching to the Unsea (fold), a perpetually dark, barren, strip of land cutting most of Ravka off from the sea.

“You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.” –Theodore Finch Who would’ve thought that this book can make you weep so much at the end? Yes I did. I cried in the middle of the night because of this book. Finch was such a good person and very funny. His character (in the book) was straight to the heart that you won’t doubt every move he did and you would feel the outburst of feelings through him. I liked him. I like the book. It’s shocking, moving, eye opening and sad but the humor is still there. The writing style is good. You won’t miss any moment because it was written clearly. And putting quotes and facts are a PLUS because you won’t just see the author’s idea in her character but also her ideas or thought to other things that may expand the reader’s interest. I liked the book so much I want to hug the author! She didn’t just shared Finch and Violet’s heart to me but she also showed and toured me to the whole Indiana. I felt like I traveled with her character...
