![]() ![]() Everything that was great about Six of Crows, she did with Nikolai's duology, and built on it. But she does even better with this duology. They are racially diverse, and it has a LGB+ storyline. Multi-POV's, with morally grey characters, and tragic back stories. She improved though, and wrote something in the same world, but so incredibly different with Six of Crows. ![]() I don't think it was ever Leigh's intention for us to, ugh - simp - over the bad guy. At the end of the trilogy I found myself bummed out, because the only interesting character in the books - The Darkling - was killed off. ![]() ![]() Her biggest problems in Shadow & Bone were her one dimensional protagonist characters. The idea of the Grisha, and the surrounding countries, and their different cultures - and basing Ravka around Russia instead of England, which many fantasy authors tend to do - is brilliant. Let me be clear - her Grishaverse has always been solid, even in Shadow & Bone. Because I don't want to spoiler too much (and when I can't help myself, I promise I will hide them between my trusty arrows), I really want to look at how Leigh Bardugo has grown as an author from her first books. ![]()
