In your opinion is it written better than Shadow and Bone?? It's been on my TBR forever, but I just could not get the hype of Shadow and Bone so I have been reluctant to start it. I also did watch the show first... oopsies.

I think so yes. it's quite different to Shadow and Bone. it's way more engaging and tense, and the characters are more interesting and complex. the show's quite different to the books. Six of Crows books takes place after the events of Shadow and Bone books. there's no overlap like in the show and the plot's totally different and better imo (at least from what I saw at the start - a few eps in, I didn't like how they'd changed it and was no longer interested lol). Six of Crows duology 100% lived up to the hype for me.

WOODBOUND: ASHES OF FATE
Fantasy | 13,347 words | Book 1 of a planned trilogy (with potential for 5+ books)

A man awakens beneath a forest older than the stars, his name lost, his past stripped away. In his lap rests a living branch of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, calling him toward a purpose he cannot yet remember. Guided only by a raven he carves from its wood, Endrin follows the ancient roots into a fate woven long before his first breath.

But the forest is dying. Beneath its sacred soil, an ancient being known as the Seer spreads a corruption that twists life and memory alike. As the darkness coils through the roots of Yggdrasil and into the realms beyond, Endrin must confront visions of a life forgotten and a future undone. To stand as Guardian, he must not only master the wild magic now awakening within him, he must risk everything he loves to preserve the fragile threads that hold the worlds together.

Blending lyrical prose, emotional depth, and vivid mythic worldbuilding, WoodBound: Ashes of Fate is an intimate, character-driven fantasy exploring the sacred bonds between nature, memory, and the human heart. It will appeal to readers ofBear and the Nightingale, The Witcher, and The Broken Earth Trilogy.

Ashes of Fate is the first installment in a planned trilogy, with the world, characters, and narrative arc developed for seamless expansion into a five-book series and beyond.
