A fantasy saga from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo, the Shadow and Bone Trilogy is now available together in this ebook edition. This bundle includes: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising.

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with Shadow and Bone, now a Netflix original series.

Shadow and Bone tells the story of Alina Starkov, a soldier in the kingdom of Ravka who discovers she possesses magical abilities. Training with the Grisha, her country’s magical military elite, Alina falls under the spell of their notorious leader, the Darkling. He believes she is the only one with the power to defeat the forces threatening the kingdom—forces that will test old alliances and challenge the very limits of magic, one that will forge a leader from a frightened girl.

Review

Praise for The Shadow and Bone Trilogy:

"This is what fantasy is for.” ―Laini Taylor for The New York Times on Shadow and Bone

“Set in a fascinating, unique world rich with detail, Shadow and Bone was unlike anything I've ever read. Alina is a clever, sympathetic character I will gladly follow into the next installment―which can't come soon enough!” ―Veronica Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Divergent, on Shadow and Bone

“Filled with lush descriptions, intriguing magic, and plenty of twists, this memorable adventure offers action and intrigue mixed with an undercurrent of romance and danger.” ―Publishers Weekly on Shadow and Bone

“A heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure.” ―Rick Riordan, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series, on Siege and Storm

“A well-drawn world, full of deceit and mythology, populated by entirely believable characters. Full of truly surprising twists and turns, beautiful imagery and a protagonist it's impossible not to root for, this is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ―RT Book Reviews on Shadow and Bone

"If opener Shadow and Bone was a magical coming-of-age story and middle-volume Siege and Storm was a political thriller, then this third book is an epic quest. . . Every time readers may think she's written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Ruin and Rising

Ugly Netflix AD on all books

I have not read the books. However, I would not have bought the box set if I had known that each book would have a Netflix ad on it that I could not get off.

Got for: 13 years old and upDifficulty level: ModerateVerified Purchase

This is a favorite series of mine, so I wanted to own the box set. I DID NOT WANT THE BIG NETFLIX ADVERTISEMENT. The whole reason I remembered to buy the series again is because of the preview for Netflix. So they ruin the aesthetic value of these books with an obnoxious printed on, not even a sticker, ad. Highly disappointed.

And I see other people's images with no ad!? Where can I get the Netflixless books??

Bland.

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2018

This has a really creative world and some potential, but the characters are all underdeveloped and the storyline is very predictable. The bad guy in this story is over a hundred years old, but behaves like a teenager and treats the main character (Alina - a teenage girl) like a peer throughout the entire series and changing relationship between the two. This isn't even considering their age difference, he's in the upper class and pretty much second to the King in their country while she's a grunt (orphan) in some army. No matter the situation, Alina and The Darkling interact unrealistically and either extremely casually without taking any kind of social pragmatics/culture/rank into consideration, or like a parody of any villain in pop culture. He reminded me of Kylo Ren from Star Wars. It's so awkward. It is like they're a couple of classmates in the same school no matter the situation, which gets more and more frustrating after the first book.

Mal also is very underdeveloped and we don't know much about him other than Alina and him grew up like siblings in the same orphanage, and are best friends.... and (still unrealistically) he's also a love interest that is also very invested in the main character. Other than that "he's very good at tracking people." Okay. How lucky for Alina! He's so bland, he has very little backstory, faults, or anything that would make you otherwise feel anything toward him whatsoever.

This series left me wanting more, but not in a good way.

Derivative, and in the end totally uninvolving.

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Sigh. It seems all publishers of fantasy fiction need these days are a books with bunch of tropes lifted from Tolkien, Diana Wynne Jones, Sherwood Smith, GRR Martin, and even relative newbies such as JK Rowling, Megan Whalen Turner and Naomi Novik, and a "plain, unremarkable, ordinary heroine" (the exact opposite of the old Mary Sue, now one in her own right), and voila! A new bestselling fantasy world is born! Except it isn't. The only fully fleshed out character in this trilogy is Nikolai/Sturmhond; at least he's somewhat amusing and seems to be in possession of himself while having actual credible human feelings. Everyone else, especially the romance-novelish central pair Alina and Mal (ridiculously referred to in prefaces and codas as "the boy and the girl," which I guess is supposed to be cute but merely infantilises the heroes) is totally two-dimensional and derivative. Compare the annoyingly, repeatedly, willfully stupid Alina to the real heroines in works by the above mentioned authors; she doesn't stand comparison to any of them. She's a cypher, boring, AND an idiot; and the author spends far more time talking about her hair (mousy, the "gloriously" white), her various amazing robes, and her "forbidden" attraction to the villain than making her a believable, sympathetic, flesh-and-blood protagonist with which a reader can become invested. Reading this trilogy has taught me NOT to trust certain friends' taste and judgement. Ugh.

I found a new author!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

I've been a lifelong reader of fantasy/science fiction (along with most everything else). JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Stephen R Donaldson have been favorites to name just a few. I had become leery of just randomly picking a new fantasy book by authors I wasn't familiar with because the results have been, well... less than I had hoped. But Leigh Bardugo is a definite KEEPER! I love her story telling. Her characters are well developed, complex, and human. The heroes are imperfect, and her villains are not entirely evil, either. She really gets into their heads and hearts and we get to see why they do what they do and how they became who they are. Her plotting is top notch and the 'Grisha' concept she has created is unique and refreshing. If you're a fantasy fan and are looking for a new author to read, look no further. I raced through this trilogy, and immediately downloaded "Six of Crows". I'm halfway through it and am loving it just as much! 5 Stars! Others have remarked that this is more geared to 'young adult' - I'm 57 and loved every minute.

Excellent YA series.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019

I'm not going to lie. I'm 34 years old and when I read the first several pages, I thought to myself, "What the heck am I reading?" But the story quickly won me over. I read the trilogy on my Kindle but loved the whole thing so much I ended up buying the paperback set for my shelf and to revisit/study.

This is a true Young Adult Fantasy series. It doesn't go into too much violence, romance, or graphic language, and it tends to be predictable at times, but what makes this series so wonderful is the incredible world and characters that Bardugo has built. This whole concept of the Grishaverse—the Shadow Fold and the monsters that lurk there, the First and Second Armies, the magic orders... the story just sweeps you up.

After reading Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, as well as the other Grishaverse short stories (still need to read King of Scars), it really is incredible how Bardugo brought this world and these characters to life. It's this irresistible mix of fable and good ole fantasy adventure.

I can't wait to see what Netflix does with the series (and really looking forward to the author's cameo when it comes out!).

Produto incrível.
Chegou muito bem embalado, em perfeito estado. A caixa do box é bem resistente, as folhas tem uma boa qualidade.
Mas o mais incrível e legal são os conteúdos extras que os 3 livros contém.
Meu único desagrado é esse selo da Netflix na capa que n dá pra retirar , de resto o box é maravilhoso, tudo o que eu queria.
Amei as capas, amei a história e não me chamem de louça mas amei Darkling

Skeptical at first; thoroughly proven wrong!

Reviewed in India on October 13, 2020

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!

No le doy las cinco estrellas debido a que, como se ve en las fotos, en la portada de los libros aparece una señal de que será una serie en Netflix, esta señal esta impresa con el libro, no es una pegatina y odio muchísimo este tipo de señales ya que para mi arruinan la experiencia de las portadas y de los libros.
Por otro lado, la calidad es la esperada y los libros han llegado en perfectas condiciones.
