I think it's...@W♥YA: It's weird, this book. I think it's stunning and so beautifully craft and I love it. But that part did throw me off a bit, though it's not what I remember about the story most strongly so I'm interested in seeing what happens with that line of thought. I'm very curious to see what you guys think, or maybe I'm just being crazy. :P<br /><br />@Christina: Christina, hi! It really was such a beautiful book full of history weaved with imagination; I could always perfectly imagine what was happening! I think I was perhaps just so deep into the story that I was thrown back by the change of perception, but I totally trust her with those characters to make it work.<br /><br />@Wendy: I can't believe it took me this long to read it - silly things like life being in the way, though I'm slightly glad because it's that much closer to the release of S&S! Definitely one of those books that sticks in your head.<br /><br />@Jenny: It's okay if you don't like it, or not all of it. I was iffy on that one part, but I believe that it will be pulled together in the next couple books. It's such a compelling read.kaye (paper reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13149323197913005984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961623852791581204.post-63352181373125560062013-01-15T22:37:07.385-05:002013-01-15T22:37:07.385-05:00I've heard nothing but good things about this ...I've heard nothing but good things about this one. I'm excited to get to it, but a little worried too. What if I don't like it? It sounds so beautiful. I hope I love it.

The imagery was really strong and it should be interesting to see where S&S goes. <br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2013/01/boundless-review.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961623852791581204.post-62035531865483925892013-01-15T20:16:24.454-05:002013-01-15T20:16:24.454-05:00SHADOW AND BONE was one of my favs! I see what you...SHADOW AND BONE was one of my favs! I see what you mean about Alina's feelings to the Darkling changing suddenly, but at the same time, I was so sucked into the story, it didn't jar me that much. I don't think what happened between Alina and the Darkling is over yet either. Can't wait to see where Bardugo takes them next and what other parts of Russian history she uses for Ravka.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961623852791581204.post-40161678814772815002013-01-15T09:34:22.476-05:002013-01-15T09:34:22.476-05:00EEE!

We were worried at first when you said (on Twitter) that you had mixed feelings, because we (Sarah, really) had just read and ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book!! So glad you did too. The rest of us can't wait to get our hands on it (if Sarah can bear to let go...). ;PWe Heart YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418854853031344928noreply@blogger.com
