Summary
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves her life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha… and the secrets of her heart.

Great narrative and voice.
Really enjoy the story. Was hoping that each character to portray in a suitable voice or sound.

Good story but performance was missing something.
I enjoyed the story...I think. I felt that the reading was lacking. I think a story that has such action needed a more dramatic reading.

I unfortunately came to the table late with the Grisha books and seem to have listened to them back to front, which I regret as I did not get as much enjoyment out of this book as I might have. That is not to say it was not a good book, though and I have enjoyed the series immensely.

A good start to a series
I got this book after seeing it was coming to Netflix and wanted a chance to get a taste of the world. I really liked the story and the world it built. Alina is interesting and I've enjoyed getting to know her more. The book introduced a lot of characters who I'm excited to see what happens to them and the ending had a nice twist to make you want to dive into the sequel. An overall nice read. The narrator Lauren Fortgang is good, and she really puts each character across well. I occasionally found it to be slightly slower paced than other audiobooks but I didn't mind that at all.

Good book well read
Great story, lovely prose, very enthusiastic and engaging performance! The premise is fun and the world-building well achieved. The narrator does a very good job at delivering the text very expressively, though their approach to voices/accents seems slightly sporadic and occasionally detrimental.

Disappointing, bland, boring
I watched and enjoyed the Netflix series.
This is the first and only time I can ever remember where the book has been worse than the screen adaptation.
Usually a book is so much richer in terms of story and depth, but in this case the book falls massively short. I finished it, but was very disappointed.

Interesting start to a series
I thought the narration was better than the story, but the series seems interesting enough. I’ll continue with the next one.

You're average YA story
It's not bad at all, it's just pretty much the same story like all the other YA books are following now. Very predictable.
However, there's nice, gloomy world building, some interesting mechanics going on and not too shabby characters.
I quite liked it, but I would've loved something more to it, something to diverge it from all the other stories just like this one.

Really enjoyable story. unfortunately the narrator is a bit grating at times, especially with certain voices.

Wanted to listen to the actual book after loving the Netflix series so much and it really lives up to expectations! Lauren Fortgang is a brilliant narrator, I really enjoyed this story and will be reading the next ASAP.
