Um. So, Rick Riordan read Siege and Storm

And he said…

“Following up on a strong debut is no easy task, but with Siege and Storm, Leigh Bardugo delivers a heady blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure. The stakes are higher, the drama more intense, and the characters even more compelling. With its epic sweep and brilliant re-imagining of Russian history, the Grisha Trilogy reads like Anna Karenina with magic.”

My heart is so full right now.

It’s no small thing to have someone take the time to read your book and say kind words about it. But when it’s a writer whose work you respect and adore? So grateful and honored.
