Thank goodness for my early-morning late runs, which was me running because I was late for work, early in the morning. I removed the sleeves and shortened the hem, and when I put it back on, it was a lacy, cropped tank top. What I was, though, was logical and functional, and I couldn’t cut my pants off, so the shirt would have to do. I wasn’t even entirely sure what that phrase meant.

Many members of the YA Fantasy Addicts Facebook group report that they couldn’t get into Shadow and Bone, while also saying that Six of Crows was absolutely fantastic. Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows are two unique stories with a completely different set of characters. The short answer is that it doesn’t matter for the Shadow and Bone series order.
