Review
------
Siege and Storm carries on the fantastic plot which
was so intricately carved in book one, and the writing continues
to be clever, funny and heartbreaking all at the same time. This
book will have you laughing one minute and an emotional wreck the
next, as Alina's powers are pushed to the limit and her
relationships are tested to breaking point. I for one cannot wait
for the third and final book. (BOOK CHICK CITY)
I was away on the ships and wandering through Ravka with Alina
and Mal, I was on the receiving end of his kisses and his
annoyances. I felt the sun warm the pages whenever Alina summoned
and I felt the fear when The Darkling was around. There is
nothing I don't love about the world in which the Grisha trilogy
is set and I cannot wait until next year to see how this series
is going to conclude. (READARAPTOR)
I wrote a piece here gushing about why the Grisha series is so
different and so special. There are many small reasons that all
come together to create the awesomeness. But there are also many
more that I can't even explain. Maybe it is different because it
is just magic. It has the most exquisitely constructed world, the
best-written characters, the most amazing writing and storyline.
And it always always always leaves me desperate for more. It
always leaves me aching, foaming at the mouth, for more: right
now. And that, perhaps, is why it is so special. It is magic. It
is beautiful. It is perfect.
Well, except for that cliffhanger. How am I meant to make it a
whole year with that hanging over my head?!

Leigh Bardugo, you sure know how to involve your readers and make
them an emotional wreck. Siege and Storm is an enthralling sequel
that seriously ups the game and expectations of the reader. It is
written so beautifully that is flows flawlessly while keeping the
magic alive in the readers mind. If you want to read a fantasy
series that has a truly unique world then read this series. (READ

Wow, wow, wow - that's all I can say. Siege and Storm only
confirms that Leigh Bardugo is a must-read author for all teenage
bookworms and fantasy fans! Set in a beautiful and magical
fictional land, the novel draws you in with its vivid imagery and
unique array of characters... If you haven't entered the world of
Grisha yet, then why on earth not?! I mean, you know a novel is
superb when words fail you and you just can't coherently speak
anymore... right? (FEED ME BOOKS NOW)
In so many series the second book is a huge let-down. Siege and
Storm? An exception. It is a squillion times better than Shadow
and ... I adore the writing - it's so lyrical, so beautiful,
yet so modern and witty and funny. I love this blend of classic
fairytale and modern day. And it always seems to leave me wanting
more! And the plot was amazing too. It was just nonstop action,
nonstop thrills, nonstop suspense and nonstop excitement. I
gobbled it up, falling harder in love each time. And then having
my heart totally broken. Numerous times... I didn't see
ninety-nine percent of the twists coming and could have just read
this three-hundred-odd-paged-book in one sitting! You know, if I
didn't need and food and stuff... (The Book Addicted Girl
