Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo is a book that I am excited to share with you. I really enjoyed the Six of Crows duology, and I loved the first book in The Grisha trilogy so much.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Title: Siege and Storm (The Grisha #2)Author: Leigh Bardugo
Publisher: Square Fish
Publication Date: June 4, 2013
The second book in The Grisha Trilogy by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows.
Darkness never dies.
Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can't outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling's game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her--or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

Book Quotes: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
BOOK BEGINNING
The boy and the girl had once dreamed of ships, long ago, before they’d ever seen the True Sea. They were the vessels of stories, magic ships with masts hewn from sweet cedar and sails spun by maidens from thread of pure gold.
FRIDAY 56
The week wore on, and on the sixth day, Genya woke me early. As I gathered my wits, I realized it was barley dawn. Fear sliced through me.

TRUE! I really love Bardugo. I hope that you enjoy her books as well if you give them a try. 🙂
I loved Shadow and Bone and Siege and Storm but Ruin and Rising was probably my favorite out of them all. ♥
I am so glad to hear that! I have been pushing through this one a little bit in the hopes that it will pay off. 🙂
The 56 is an attention getter! I’d love for you and your readers to check out mine . . . https://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviews7618

This is one of those series that, on paper, I should have LOVED. But for whatever reason, I just did not like it at all. And it stinks, because from other peoples perspectives, it sounds AWESOME. Oh well, I reckon not all of them will work for everyone. Glad you are enjoying the series!
I had the same feeling when I started reading this one last time. I pushed through it and ended up enjoying it. Not all books are for everyone and I totally get it. 😉
I loved this book! This is such a great trilogy. I hope you love it.
This is one of my favorite series and I really hope you love it as much as I did! Happy reading! 🙂

I hope you enjoy this series the second time around. I actually just started the third book this weekend. I had made it through the first two and enjoyed them, but then got distracted and forgot to continue.
