The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka. Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom's magical elite - the Grisha. Could she be the key to unravelling the dark fabric of the Shadow Fold and setting Ravka free? The Darkling, a creature of seductive charm and terrifying power, leader of the Grisha. If Alina is to fulfil her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him. But what of Mal, Alina's childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can't she ever quite forget him? Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance.
I've waited a long time to read this book and I wasn't disappointed. I actually listened to it on Audible. (This is what I do when I'm grading papers or getting ready in the morning.) The narrator does a great job and keeps you fully engaged in the story. I like this world and I can't wait to read more about it in the next book. I know I'm way behind in finding this author but I like her style of writing. It's always nice to find a new author and series.
