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?!
*THE BOOK ADDICTED GIRL*
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 WRITE AND READ SOME MORE*
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
Bone... 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 sleep and food and stuff...
