I’m actually scared to know The Darkling’s name because knowing his name makes him more human. Making him more human, makes him more real to me. I just feel like crying all the time because making the Darkling more human and real just makes everything hurt a million times more and I just
just you wait.

never ending list of books that should be made into movies; Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone
I called and the light answered. I felt it rushing toward me from every direction, skimming over the lake, skittering over the golden domes of the Little Palace, under the door and through the walls of Baghra’s cottage. I felt it everywhere. I opened my hands and the light bloomed right through me, filling the room, illuminating the stone walls, the old tile oven, and every angle of Baghra’s strange face. It surrounded me, blazing with heat, more powerful and pure than ever before because it was all mine. I want to laugh, to sing, to shout. At last, there was something that belonged wholly and completely to me.

I am a Teen Services Librarian in Texas. My teens love your books and of course are dying to know if there will be a third book in the Grisha series. Any info you can provide so that I can quench their curiosity would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for the kind words.
The third book in the trilogy is called Ruin and Rising and it will be out on June 3, 2014. If you’d like to find more info on the series and some fun extras, you can pop by my web site: http://leighbardugo.com.
So glad people are enjoying the books!

56 Delightful Victorian Slang Terms You Should Be Using | Mental Floss
14. ChuckabooA nickname given to a close friend.
15. Collie shanglesQuarrels. A term from Queen Victoria’s journal, More Leaves, published in 1884: “At five minutes to eleven rode off with Beatrice, good Sharp going with us, and having occasional collie shangles (a Scottish word for quarrels or rows, but taken from fights between dogs) with collies when we came near cottages.”
16. Cop a MouseTo get a black eye. “Cop in this sense is to catch or suffer,” Forrester writers, “while the colour of the obligation at its worst suggests the colour and size of the innocent animal named.”
17. DaddlesA delightful way to refer to your rather boring hands.
18. DamfinoThis creative cuss is a contraction of “damned if I know.”
We need to make this happen—way better than fetch, I think you’ll agree. (Also, terribleminds shall hence forth be known as Chuckaboo. Maybe? *runs*)
