Breathtaking Edition!

This Collector's Edition is breathtaking! The artwork and letter in the back touched my heart! That letter broke me in all of the best ways! This was brilliantly imaginative and the tenderly sweet scenes will steal your heart away!! This is the first that I've read from Ms. Bardugo and I have to say that I absolutely understand her fans enthusiasm! I loved the world building and the imagery. The story kept me wanting to know what would happen next. While Alina isn't super likable, she does possess other humanesque qualities that she's easy to understand. Mal is very interesting. He would follow Alina to the ends of the Earth. But didn't seem to realize how much she meant to him until it was almost too late. I think the Darkling is intriguing. I also believe that we haven't seen the full dynamic of his character. I think there is so much more to him, and I can't wait to see what he does next. I'm very much looking forward to being swept away by the rest of the series!

A Love Note

It feels like I’ve been waiting for a Shadow & Bone collector’s edition for a while. And it feels like I’ve been loving this tale, longer still.
It is one of four stories I recommend with my “hand in fire” seal of approval. And I mean that, truly. If the one copy of this book was tossed into a randomly conjured vortex of fiery flames, I would reach in with both hands.
There are zero amount of negative reviews that could change my opinion of it. And nothing strong enough to silence my praise for it, for Leigh, and yes—for my Darkling.
Its words, so familiar they are to my lips. Its shadows, so known they are to my heart; I cannot imagine it not ever being so. 🖤

Disappointing

Leigh created my favorite universe ever. I love the grisha trilogy and Six of Crows duology-which is probably why this collector's edition is disappointing. I just expected more artwork or something? its lackluster for me personally. But I guess people like it for its simplicity. I was absolutely blown away by the artwork in her book "The Lives of Saints." I guess I just wanted more for the collectors edition of one of my fav books. Leigh is still my fav. author -these things happen! Its just feels expensive for so little added. But im glad to support her in the end. Writing this review only to warn people that this is about simplicity. I prefer the new paperback cover to this one, but if you adore the looks of this one -great buy it-thats exactly all you are getting!

Stunning inside and out

Omg! For those of you who haven’t read this series you are seriously missing out. It’s beautifully written, the plot is amazing and I even found myself falling for the villain in this series. It’s fantastic, I can’t wait until it comes on Netflix. When I saw the collectors addition I got so excited and purchased it right away. It’s a stunning book, I love the white with good foil detail, LOVE IT!

Looks Amazing!

I bought this as a gift for my friend and I was surprised at how fancy it looked when it arrived. It is quite big compared to an average book size but it looks great and my friend loved it. I’d recommend it to the Shadow and Bone fans for sure.

Beautiful Edition

This is the most beautiful book in my bookshelf to date. I love the premium smell. I truly hope that MacMillan will continue publishing the rest of the series in this format.

As to the book itself, it’s a typical YA story with “the chosen one” trope and others. It’s a bummer that one has to read the trilogy before getting into the Six of Crows duology where the more exciting characters are highlighted.

Beautiful edition

This book is so good that I’m so happy I read this copy of this book since it’s so beautiful on my shelf. But as for the book I don’t know if I’ll continue the series. It was good but I don’t know if I want to finish it
