Siege and Storm
The Grisha Trilogy, book 2
written by Leigh Bardugo
Well done, Ms. Bardugo. This book is ridiculously amazing. Bardugo succeeded in improving my vocabulary, that's for sure. Her word choice was excellent! Good thing I read on an eReader because it made looking up words to see what they mean a lot easier - ha! I'm having trouble deciding if I like this installment better than Shadow and Bone. I definitely liked it - at least - as much as book one in the Grisha trilogy, but maybe even more.
The suspense throughout the book makes it an emotional page turner. Alina is such a lovable heroine. She reminds me of Elisa in The Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy. Siege and Storm shows Alina coming to terms with the responsibility her gift as the Sun Summoner gives her. She's learning to lead, and it is impressive yet realistically written how she gives commands, and is met with some resistance. I also loved how Bardugo was able to write the Darkling into the book, even though he wasn't actually present...oh, but was he?! He is most definitely a villain that you want to read more of... ;) I'm super confused which team I'm on, though because of Nickolai. Team Mal? Team Darkling? Or Team Nickolai?!?! *swoons*
I can't believe I have to wait an entire year for book 3. *sobs hysterically*
