Shadow and Bone (unfinished)

meh, couldn't get into it.  Very Games of Thrones ish, but without the solid storytelling.

From wikipedia: The series is set in the Grishaverse, which comprises the nations of Ravka, Fjerda, Shu Han, Kerch, Novyi Zem, and the Wandering Isle. Each nation draws inspiration from real-world countries, reflecting elements of language, culture, and tradition from different historical periods.[1][2][3] In the Grishaverse, there exists a group of individuals referred to as "magic-users".[1] These people, known as Grisha, are practitioners of what is called "The Small Science", a unique ability that allows each Grisha to manipulate matter at the molecular level.
