Series – The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, Grisaverse
Main characters – Alina Starkov, Malyen Orestsev, Darkling, Nikolai Lantsov
Listened to audio narrated by Lauren Fortgang.
Alina Starkov is the Sun Summoner, incredibly weakened after her face off with the Darkling. She and her followers are under the ‘care’ of the White Church and it’s leader. The priest wishes to use her for his own ambitions but it won’t stop her and her companions from devising a way to escape and face off with the Darkling once and for all.
Their mission is to escape, seek the prince, find the Phoenix and face off once and for all with the Darkling. But as they progress things don’t go as expected and revelations point to a direction they don’t want to travel.
This is the last installment and I am left feeling bleh. It felt like several mini story ideas were forced together, hints from the previous book fizzled, then came a very rushed feeling ending and an epilogue showing their happily ever after. At this point I’m glad it’s over and I can put this series behind me.
