Breathtaking. The art is absolutely gorgeous. Leigh chose the best possible artist for this adaptation. It just fits the story so well! This was an amazing origin story for the Darkling and really makes us question if he's a villain or a hero. The story was absolutely HEARTBREAKING and made me feel a lottttt of complex emotions. This was such an outstanding adaptation and I loved how the story developed from the original short! I honestly think this was a 6/5 book it was just that good. This definitely is my favorite graphic novel coming from someone who's read a huge amount of graphic novels in my time. GO READ THIS!!!!

i had already read this story when it was just a short story but the graphic novel is beautifully done and adds a whole new layer to the story and is defiantly worth reading, both with having read or not having read the story before hand. 

also for very grisha fan clearly one that’s an added bonus and doesn’t need to be told to read it. 


i enjoyed this so much more than expected given it’s a format a normally don’t enjoy overly much - so clearly recommend!

I’ve had Shadow and Bone on my radar for a while, so I was excited to see a graphic novel adaptation of the prequel. Eryk is a compelling character.
