I have been lusting for it since.... well, since the beginning of time and now having read your AMAZING review, my brain is BUSTING out of my skull in excitement to devour this. I am so happy Australia are publishing it!!<br /><br />And the romance.... OHYOUTEASE!!!! Which one took your favour?! Which one took Alina's favour?! Which one can *I* have?! Both? Yes? Yay!<br /><br />I LOVE when books surprise you like that and it really sounds as though Leigh has developed this world with such a stunning hand. The same kind of hand you wrote your equally stunning review with.<br /><br />Also: DOES THIS BOOK HAVE A MAP? SONIA LIKEYS HER MAPS. I don't really care for them, but no kidding: every time I pick up a fantasy book and see a map, I think, "Sonia will LOVE THIS!" :DBrodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-58649931749216670512012-06-01T11:25:09.171-04:002012-06-01T11:25:09.171-04:00Oooh!

THIS is why you're my book twin and THIS is why you're so awesome and THIS is why I trust your opinion on books so much! I loved reading about Alina's transition to confidence too, just like I loved reading about her awesomeness in general. And the world-building? So stunning! Didn't you just want to take some sort of book-bending ship so we could travel to this world and live in it?? Yet kind of not at the exact same time since it was really terrifying as well? x)<br /><br />Absolutely AMAZINGLY BREATHTAKING & WORTHY review!! You're welcome times a million, Sonia -- I can't imagine any better person to have sent this to!

Definitely can't wait for summer, because that is when I'm going to read like crazy, and Shadow and Bone (or The Gathering Dark as we call it over here ;]) is definitely one I want to read most.

I was obsessed with Tamora Pierce for so long and have yet to find something that compares but this might just be the book to bring me out of the YA Fantasy slump that Pierce causes. <br /><br />Thanks for the awesome review, so glad you enjoyed this oneAlexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504096607685421368noreply@blogger.com
