Everybody is sorry.The King is sorry.The Queen is...

Everybody is sorry.The King is sorry.The Queen is sorry. I’m sorry. But only the Darkling will do something about it.
Nine Inch Nails - The Good Soldier
Gunfire in the street
Where we used to meet
Echoes out a beat
When the bass goes “bomb”
Right over my head
Step over the dead
Remember what you said
You know a part about life
Is just a waking dream
Well I know what you mean
But that ain’t how it seems right here, right now
How can this be real?
I can barely feel
Anymore
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
Blood hardens in the sand
Cold metal in my hand
Hope you understand the way that things are gonna be
There’s nowhere left to hide
‘Cause God is on our side
I keep telling myself
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
One of my favorite fan graphics - Ivan, the Good Soldier. She even gave him his amplifier.

to whom will be be giving away the ARCs to? only bloggers/book reviewers? Or will there be a contest to win the ARCs?
ARC distribution is at the publisher’s discretion and they usually go out to bloggers and book reviewers. BUT I know Macmillan and I will be doing some giveaways for fans :)
Will you ever have one of those Shadow and Bone "Special/Collectors' Editions" in which there might be some special content or perhaps a sneak peek of the next novel? This is not for right now, but somewhere in the future.
We’re planning some bonus content for the paperback edition of Shadow and Bone, so I’m excited about that. As for a fancy collectors’ edition type thing, we’ll have to wait and see. I can tell you that we have a lot of fun ideas for bonus content along the way.
Just wanted to say I saw your book at my school's library last week or so,and I only just check it out, and I loved it :D read it in two day :P
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Fierce Reads tour starts tomorrow. Just a reminder that I’ll have limited edition Darkling buttons on hand for anyone who shows up flying Grisha colors or otherwise goes above and beyond. We only made 100, so I’m stingy! Show up in Tsarpunk attire? You just might get a special gift from Hebel Design’s Shadow and Bone collection. (Taken with Instagram)

You don't even need to bother with a cover at all..I will take an ARC any way I can, haha. Will you keep us updated on here when ARC's are available? I'm SO EXCITED!
Ha! The ARC will just feature a big picture of Sean O’Pry riding a dolphin.
Yes, I will definitely post when ARCs start to go out/become available. And I promise to cook up a giveaway, too :)
Shadow and Bone's colors and black, red, gray, and even a little silver. I just kind of pictured Siege and Storm's cover to be the same except with not red but blue and maybe even a little bit of gold for the Storm part of the title. (Maybe Alina as well)A
I haven’t seen the colors yet, just a simple sketch, but I think blue and gold would be beautiful. The ARC won’t have the official cover. Not sure when we’ll get to release it!
