Leigh Bardugo is among the most celebrated young adult novelists of our
time. She’s the author of - among many novels - 'Shadow and Bone,' a fantasy series
with over 2.5 million books sold. It’s now a Netflix hit that became the most
streamed show in the U.S. earlier this year, according to Neilson.
But getting to that promised land was not easy. On Art of Power, Bardugo tells host
Aarti Shahani about her many ups and downs: an absent father, an awkward
adolescence, the loss of her editor at a pivotal moment, and an abusive relationship
with a man that threatened to extinguish her career before it began.
