Rating: 3 out of 5 YA Tropes
About: Shadow and Bone is the debut novel from Leigh Bardugo. Now a show on Netflix, this story follows a young girl with an incredible gift. She’s a Sun Summoner who can finally save her people from the strip of darkness that divides the nation of Ravka. That is if she can find the right people to trust.
Review: To start off, I am not the intended audience for this novel. It is full of YA tropes that have been played out. The love triangle, the chosen one, the homely but special main character, and the edge lord tropes are in full display with this story. With that said, it is a debut novel and it is written well for the genre it resides in. If you enjoy the tropes mentioned, give this a read ASAP.
