The Shadow and Bone Trilogy Boxed Set: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising

This series has been such a pleasant surprise. I've been curious about the Grishaverse and had read a sample chapter of Six of Crows, I knew SoC was right up my alley but I wanted to read all the books chronologically (it's a problem; I'm working on it). I was skeptical about Shadow and Bone since it's marketed as YA and I'm more of an adult fantasy reader. I was NOT disappointed.Shadow and Bone features all the standard tropes of bad YA: it's got a supposedly plain-Jane-but-super-powerful gullible protagonist, a ridiculously well-written villain, and a convenient love triangle to boot. Despite all this, the story WORKED. And I am so glad I kept reading to Book 2, because that's when things get INSANELY good. Book 3 is spectacular in this regard as well. I devoured these books over 4 very manic days, and I don't regret it one bit. Definitely consider buying this trilogy if you're looking for a dark yet entertaining foray into younger-themed fantasy. The box set is nice for a collector's item, but the box itself arrived slightly damaged in my case -- fortunately the books within were perfectly intact.A note about the books received in this version - definitely consider investing in this boxed set because each of the books has a little bonus story/POV chapter. It's also got a few pages of author interviews and discussion questions (which I didn't find very helpful since the discussion points seemed a little like school assignments). But the bonus chapter/snippet at the end of each book was amazing and really appreciated. The covers are also really pretty, worthy of collectors items except for the ugly (permanent) Netflix stickers that are always seen on these soon-to-be Netflix series books. I must really commend the book art designer though as these covers were stunning aside from the Netflix promotion!

Quality is good.Bought from GOODREADS BOOKSTORE and the boxset came all the way from Hyderabad to Mathura in a very good condition.About the book: I really enjoyed reading this after watching the first season of the show on Netflix. Of the various popular YA fiction I’ve read over the years, this was probably my favorite. I really liked most of the characters, particularly Nikolai. I wasn’t sure how it was all going to end, but I found it very satisfying.

Good delivary. No damag

Having read Six of Crows duology first I was a little apprehensive about whether to read this book or not as I had read so many mixed reviews on this. But I'm glad I read this. Though it's not on par with Six of crows, this was a very interesting read. The Darkling's multi-dimensional and complex characterisation, Alina's constant dilemma, Genya's character and many more things of this book are worth reading. It had all the aspects you'd expect a fantasy book to have.

The media could not be loaded. The product did take a little bit of time to deliver but it was totally worth the wait. The books are in pristine condition. There's no damage at all anywhere. They're worth the wait. If you're looking into these PURCHASE THEM NOW.

This trilogy is everything! Highly recommended to fantasy fans. Full of characters with depth, brilliant writing and some mouth dropping revelations!

the books quality was not that great as it was folded in some areas and the box which it came in was falling apart other than that storywise its amazing

Arrived soon. Product was good in condition.
