We're finishing up Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo today! We're covering chapters 18 to the End. This week we finally get a bit of spice, Mal and Alina reveal some feelings right before the stag makes its appearance. We see a difficult choice for Alina, before she offers to make a deal - which is denied. We see her inexplicably pulled towards the Darkling while at the same time being disgusted by him. We also find Mal in mortal danger. Will Alina shrug off her collar in time to save him? Yes, but he's still a douche bag and she leaves some people to die so maybe they’re good for each other? Listen until the end to find out which gem we will be reading in June!
