Worth reading. But still over priced in my opinion
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 Iâve read over the years, this was probably my favorite. I really liked most of the characters, particularly Nikolai. I wasnât sure how it was all going to end, but I found it very satisfying.

Skeptical at first; thoroughly proven wrong!
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!

Product? Good. Book read? Good.
The product? It was in good condition.The book review? Damn son, I was kinds disappointed with the last book. First two books were really good. It's a Good read.I'd say, people who like Disney ending, should go with this triology.Although, the only thing is, I was expecting so much from this series because I've SOC duology before and the standards was so high.I'll prolly read KOS duology now since I've finished with this triology.Also, draklingđ¤ he has my whole heart. And and, Nikolai đ¤đ¤ duh.

A very riveting fantasy series
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.

PURCHASE THESE
The media could not be loaded. Â 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.

Excellent books but not in good condition
Books seem to be photocopies, print quality is not good and the covers are old and frayed. 2 stars from books printing and condition. The stories are wonderful though, fast paced, gripping, well written. Really enjoying. 5 stars for the stories.

Loved the Series...
I have to say, I was nervous to read these at first because this isn't my typical genre of books, But these were amazing to me. I read all three books in 3 days (I didn't want to put them down!) then the other 2 in the series (Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom) right after.Shadow and Bone.... I think what was good for me was to see the Netflix show first. I didn't watch the entire series, but it gave me enough to better visualize the Characters in the book. I loved them all... I thought they each brought something to the story. I am very much a Villian fan, so The Darkling was my absolute favorite. I couldn't help but fall in love with his character.I would highly recommend these books to those that like the Fantasy Genre with out alot of mushy romance stuff getting in the way.This is about Hope, Betrayal, Friendship and the love of Ravka....Must Read!

Excelente tĂtulo de fantasĂa
En lo fĂsico, es un hermoso trĂo de libros. Lo malo es que la etiqueta de Netflix es impresa y no se puede retirar.

Fabulous books
It takes a lot for me to find a book that keeps me gripped to it, and these books so far have kept me reading and reading to the early hours of the morning, for not being a bookworm, this author has me hooked, would highly recommend reading
