Everyone is raving about this book but I just can't get into it. I've read the first two chapters and they are so confusing. Is there a book I should read before this one?

I like to compare the first chapter to the opening 3 minutes of a TV crime show in that you're introduced to characters who die by the end of the chapter and who you never hear from again. I always advise my friends to skim through the first chapter.
My issue with the second chapter in SoC is that it throws way too many names at you. Really the only three you need to remember are Inej, Kaz, and Jesper and the rest are minor characters. This chapter is fun to reread after you've already know who's who, but it can be pretty tricky the first go around.

I personally feel you shouldn't give up until you've at least read the third chapter because that is when the main plot kicks into gear. I know this post is a year old but just in case other people stumble across it I thought I would add my two cents(less)

just a question should I read the other trilogy before reading this book? I really need to know before buying it.

I read this book, saw some familiar words like "Grisha" and "Heartrender", but couldn't place them. It wsn't until I went on goodreads after finishing it that I realized it was set in the same world. You definitely do not need to read the other books. Also I preferred this 10 times more than Shadow and Bones or whatever.(less)

I just started to read this book and I just read the first two chapters twice and I just don't get a thing, I just don't understand it... Does it get better? Has anyone lese had the same problem? Because it's really frustrating me and I really want to read it... (this is my first Leigh Bardugo book).

Heidi I had the same problem! I haven't read the other trilogy that comes before these books. It does get much better and things are explained as you go. Juâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ðI had the same problem! I haven't read the other trilogy that comes before these books. It does get much better and things are explained as you go. Just take it in stride and don't dwell too much on unknown words or locations, it will all fall into place the further you go. (less)

Will the story be set before or after the Grisha trilogy? Can't wait!
