The Language of Thorns Preorder & Sweepstakes are now live!
(International readers, I know it sucks to be left out of the preorder fun, but legally, my US and UK publishers can’t ship outside of their territories. As always, I’ll try to do an international giveaway for some goodies around launch. And if you’d like to pre-order a signed or personalized book, you can reach out to Good Choice Reading or any of the stores on my tour—many of them ship!)

since we’re getting a new grishaverse book, i thought it was time we did another challenge! from the same people who brought you the ck countdown challenge and the sixofcrowsnw challenge: take two, here is:
THE LANGUAGE OF THORNS COUNTDOWN CHALLENGE (#tlotcc) !!this is a month-long countdown, and it’ll run from august 29-september 26, the release day for tlot, ~2 years since six of crows was released, and ~1 year since crooked kingdom came out. here are the prompts:
AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4: most iconic line (from any grishaverse book)
SEPTEMBER 5 - SEPTEMBER 11: favorite grisha (i.e. heartrenders, squallers, fabrikators, etc.)
SEPTEMBER 12 - SEPTEMBER 18: most underrated character (again from any grishaverse book)
SEPTEMBER 19 - SEPTEMBER 25: favorite book in the grishaverse
SEPTEMBER 26: happy release day! anything you want from the grishaverse (your favorite scene/character/ship, whatever you want!)any content is appreciated although (and i hate that i have to say this every time yet it still happens) please do not whitewash inej or jesper or use a skinny fancast for nina. it does not properly represent the characters leigh has written, and frankly it’s just wrong. i hope you all participate in some way even if you can’t make edits. it’ll be a fun month! and tag your posts as #tlotcc so i can track them (and feel free to tag me #mydarlinginej)!!
no mourners, no funerals
This is so lovely!
I confess … I’m ridiculously nervous and excited about this collection coming out. It was very much a labor of love for me and Sara Kipin and all of the wonderful people at Imprint/MacKids. I don’t feel like every publishing house would have taken a chance on this project so I’m feeling very grateful. (And I really hope you guys like them

So pleased to finally be finished!! This is the full video–just the first verse + chorus–but the full song works really well for Six of Crows and you should listen to it! And also read the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo because those are them Good Books. uOu/
Some notes: Wylan’s burning a letter and yep, that’s his dad. Yep, that’s Jarl Brum’s gloved hand that appears before the wolf. Inej’s knives should’ve been dark for maximum stealth, I just liked the shine too much. In retrospect, I wish I’d given Kaz a proper limp.
Programs Used: Toon Boom Studio 4.5, Adobe Photoshop CS6
Song: Trouble by Valerie Broussard (available on Spotify!)
This is truly one of the most magical, spectacular, incredible things I’ve ever seen. @toastyhat, I’ve loved following your updates and getting to see just a tiny bit of the tremendous amount of work that went into this. You captured these characters and the spirit of the book so perfectly. I am seriously blown away. I’m on writing retreat and I just showed it to Kelly and we outright screamed.
Now I’m going to go watch this a thousand more times.
