Tome Thursday: Shadow and Bone

 

Hello everyone!

 

Guess what, I'm actually more or less on time with this one.

 

Well, alright, not publication time, but I AM on time in terms of the fact that the Netflix show hasn't exactly been out for too long yet (which I still need to watch, actually) and I'm actually on point with the first book.

 

That's what I call a win!

 

Mostly. LOL.

 

I've read a book or two by Leigh Bardugo before, I think, and while I was okay with her writing style I was never into the whole Grishaverse thing that everyone else was raving about until I figured I might as well read the book before watching the show, as it made more sense to me.

And at that moment I also figured out some very important points, but I'll get to them later on in the review.

For the time being, let me just stop babbling and get straight into Shadow and Bone, alright?

 

Tome Thursday: Wonder Woman Warbringer

Hello everyone!

For my book review this week I'm going back to basics with DC.

Now, for those of you who may not know me all that well, let me tell you that I frankly don't care too much about all this DC vs Marvel debate or hashtags or whatever.

I can understand that there's some rivalry going on, because, well, two competing comic book houses? Duh. It makes sense even to me. But I'm not one of those people who say YOU CAN'T GO FOR DC IF YOU'RE A MARVEL FAN THAT'S BETRAYAL. Or vice versa.

Me, I watch/read about the heroes I like. Whether they were created by Marvel or by DC means precious little, although I'll also freely admit I kind of like the tone of MCU better than of the DCEU at the moment.

That being said, however, Wonder Woman has become one of my favourites, partly thanks to Gal Gadot's amazing performancein the movie.

Which is why this week's book is all about the Warbringer.
