Morningtide Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I've read all of them except for the last half of the last book. They're some of my favorites! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szeth_Pancakes Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 They’re amazing! One of my favorite series ever. I think you’ll find a lot of overlap between Grishaverse fans and Sanderson fans :)) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidakar the Ghostblood Posted January 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Really? interesting. Fjerda reminds me of Fjerdan. and Shu Han reminds me of another one I can't think of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Six of Crows (the first book in the second series) reminds me a lot of Mistborn, but in a good way. Just enough that it's a good book and not a ripoff. Edited January 29, 2022 by Ookla the Theoretical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I read the Shadow and Bone trilogy around the time the show came out, as I had a friend who really liked them and was very excited for the show. I never got around to any of the other books, though. At the time, they were hard to come by in the library system, and I just never got them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah yeah these are GREAT. I love the Grishaverse, especially Six of Crows. 6ou should definitely read all of them. I've read all except the Nikolai Duology. And the show is awesome too. Can't wait for season 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morningtide Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I have been appreciating @Elf's new pfp and rank for a while now. Because Kaz Brekker forever! Six of Crows is also my favorite, but Crooked Kingdom is a very close second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use the Falchion Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I read the first Shadow & Bone book, and I was...not impressed. I liked it, but I had read so many similar or similar-feeling YA books at the time, I just didn't see this one going anywhere special. I read Six of Crows and loved it though! I haven't gotten around to reading the sequel, but I'll do that someday. I'm really not interested in the rest of the world or series or in the adaptation either, but I'm happy for the series' success. Bardugo's earned it. (I also try to leverage the series' success to influence those who have read it to read Mistborn as well.)

Hollow Graves Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Okay, so I am lacking in reading these but I really want to. My mom is super strict. Do you guys have any ways to help me get my mom to let me read these? Is there any content that she should be worried about. (Anything mothers of high school freshmen would worry about). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the violence, there's no content that she would be worried about. Ok, so in the Shadow and Bone series, in the final book, there's some of "that" content (if you get my meaning.). In SoC and CK, there's absolutely no content liek "that" but there's are kiss scenes and innuendo, if I'm not mistaken. And I can't really vouch for the Nikolai Trilogy, since I haven't read it. There's this site, Common Sense Media and it has rating for all these books including just how much of adult content is there. You can show that site to your mother and maybe then she can decide if you should read it or not. And once again, I thank my stars that no one moniters what I read or watch.

And is really good advice. Thx. She decided to be more picky about this series after we watched the tv series. Not that there was anything bad in the tv series. She has gotten way more picky about everything. My family is all LDS (I am not really but I can't tell them that I am not really) and so they think that there shouldn't be anything bad. She gets iffy about books over swear words. (My mom would have a heart attack if I told her I am not straight). Also total side note. Have any of you guys read Shadow Hunters By Cassandra Clare. She won't let me read those either. Or Twilight. Or nine thousand other things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first book is pretty much fine, but I stopped reading the series before the last book because there was way too much of that content. As a highschool freshmen myself, it kinda makes sense that your mom won't let you read those ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight has bad relationships and stuff, but doesn't get explicit or innapropriate with Law of Chastity stuff. (fade to black, post marriage. Kinda like Warbreaker maybe? You know it's happening, but it's very carefully skipped.) I haven't read it, but my friend has and told me this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
