Shoutout to @ManCarryingThing the absolute legend who never misses. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCPdaxSov0mgwh77JvjQO2jQ
This video makes a lot more sense if youve watched @JennyNicholson s video The Spectacular failure of the Star Wars Hotel. You can watch that here: https://youtu.be/T0CpOYZZZW4?si=qSfO_M4i69EBx5kY
It also makes more sense if you have already read The Way of Kings by @BrandSanderson

![Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo || [Book Review] || Spoiler Free!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qnof5PrrzEk/mqdefault.jpg "Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo || [Book Review] || Spoiler Free!
I dont read much Young Adult Fiction (YA), but the hype for the new Netflix show was hard to ignore and the show actually turned out to be pretty decent. So for todays book review Im talking about Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.
The love triangle between Alina Starkov, The Darkling, and Mal Oretsev is still funny to me, clearly there is only one real option here.
