Off to Toronto for our last Fierce Reads stop early tomorrow morning, but wanted to say a quick thank you to all of the wonderful people who showed up at the signing in NYC tonight—particularly Maddie, Laura, Kyra, Kira (yes, there are two of you!!), Henna, Martha, and Cheri. I wish I’d had more time to spend talking and taking pics, but I want you to know how much it meant to me to have you there. So tired, so grateful. Love you.

“I’ve seen what you truly are,” said the Darkling, “and I’ve never turned away. I never will. Can he say the same?”

Only a few hours left this is NOT the time to get behind!! VOTE THE DARKLING ON ALL OF YOUR DEVICES!
The Darkling is a wild card (typical) so even if you’re Team Sturmhond or Team Mal or Team Soupspoon (what? that spoon is hot! and we need it for soup!), do give us a nudge, won’t you?

The Grisha are the magical elite of Ravka, also known as the Soldiers of the Second Army. They practice the Small Science: they manipulate matter at its most fundamental levels. I like to think of it as a magical version of molecular chemistry. Status is everything to the Grisha. Here’s how their Orders break down.

Mal took a single tentative step toward me. Then he closed the space between us in two long strides. One hand slid around my waist, the other cupped my face. Gently, he tilted my mouth up to his. “Come back to me,” he said softly. - Siege and Storm, L. Bardugo
Mal & Alina birthday gift for my dear Zuzu ♥
Happiest Birthday, Tirza!
And what the wow, Vincent, this needs a “beware of feels” warning. So much emotion.
Has Shadow and Bone been translated and released in Japan yet? Will there be a Japanese release? I study Japanese and currently live in Japan and I really like buying books I love in English in Japanese so I can practice.
Not yet! It will be published in Japan by Hayakawa, but I’m not sure when. I’ll update my foreign rights page as soon as I know :)
