Über diesen Titel
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves her life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha… and the secrets of her heart.

Simply a brilliant

The book started out a bit stiff and clunky but I started to get really invested into the story and characters around chapter 7. It was a nice feeling to hear how much the flow, the dialoge and the characters developed for the better and Alina is strong, female a protagonist with a lot of potential. The author successfully avoided a bunch of old tropes and created an inspiring new world that isn't as hard to understand as other fantasy worlds, it has a lot of clear rule sets so far, although it does need a bit of improvement here and there. I wouldn't call this book brilliant but I also wouldn't call it bland.
It was enjoyable to listen too and I think I will listen to the sequel in the near future.
The narrator did a great job doing all the accents and voices but she could still improve when it comes to emotional range and expressing the characters emotions. Overall she got a pleasant and calming voice and she fits the protagonist well!
A pleasant story

Better than the Show

Nonetheless, the story itself was mostly exciting and didn't bore me most of the time. What I really enjoy about Leigh Bardugo's writing is the way she can make me hate the villains so much. If you are really invested into the grishaverse after reading/listening to "Six of Crows" I would recommend listening to this, too. It gives more insight to how this world works and also some background information about certain characters that briefly show up in "Crooked Kingdom". However, be prepared for less diverse and less interesting characters.
The speaker was quite good, only at the beginning I found that she emphasized certain sentences a little odd. Other than that, I thought she was lovely to listen to.
A perfectly ordinary fantasy adventure
