Demon in the Wood Graphic Novel

The book is so pretty and vibrant the illustrations are gorgeous 100% reccomend for grisha fans

The design is so beautiful, I know it does say it is a graphic novel, however after I got a hold of the How the How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories I thought this one would have approximately the same amount of graphics and pictures, but I was shocked in a wonderful way! Every single page is filled with wonderful graphics and pictures, whoever was the designer did an amazing job.Now to the story itself, I was already a big of a fan of the Darkling, expecting some kind of a backstory to explain the way he is, and this story just made me love him even more. Turned a villain into a character more relatable, a villain you can understand, a villain with a reason. I definitely recommend this book and you won't get any spoilers about the Shadow and bone series, so you can read it even if you haven't finished the series.

This book is beyond stunning. The visuals set the scene of this Darkling origin story. I am not his biggest fan but couldn’t miss out on this, here we follow a young Darkling alongside his mother as they live on the run. In Fjerda, they find a camp of Grisha to seek shelter with but not all goes to plan. The story is enchanting and eerie, exactly what you expect from Leigh. I can’t recommend this enough.

A beautifully illustrated book, Demon In The Wood shines a light on the Darkling and his mother's hidden past. A window into the origin of Ravkas greatest villain (or hero depending on what side of the Fold you are on) and a must have for any Grishaverse fan!

I really love the Grishaverse, so I was happy when I heard they would do a graphic novel and I preordered it.Demon in the Wood is a prequel in the serie and about the Darkling, Aleksander. Yes he is the villain in the serie Shadow and Bones, but still love him.This story is before all of what happened in the Shadow and bones trilogy. Before he became the Darkling.Eryk and his mother lives on the run. Being Grisha is not easy. Being Grisha with the kind of power they but have is worse. Shadow magic is not well seen even among Grisha and they must hide their powers. They go in a small hidden Grisha village and Eryk hope that they will be able to stay there for a couple of months, but of course it won't go as plan and thinks will go for the worse.
