When an ordinary soldier named Alina is discovered to have extraordinary magical powers that could reunite the kingdom her whole life changes. In a matter of days she goes from sleeping in a tent to living in a palace. But her new found life of fame and riches is short lived as not everyone wants to see the kingdom saved, but everyone wants her power. What I liked most about the Grisha Series was how well it was able to blend magic and science together. And rather then pitting one against the other, they actually are able to exist in harmony and build off each other. I honestly wish that this would happen more in science fiction books.
In some ways I also found myself wishing that this had been written as an adult fiction rather than young adult. Not because it needed more adult content, but simply because adult fiction allows for more world development or borderline epicness.
