BOOKS YOU NEED TO READ, BUY, AND SHARE
↳ The Witch of Duva (Grisha Trilogy #0.5), Shadow and Bone (Grisha Trilogy #1), The Tailor (Grisha Trilogy #1.5), Siege and Storm (Grisha Trilogy #2), The Too-Clever Fox (Grisha Trilogy #2.5), Ruin and Rising* (Grisha Trilogy #3)
Amazingly well written and incredibly interesting books and short companion stories by Leigh Bardugo. I jumped into this series earlier this year and have been in love from the start. I regret nothing. Here’s the description from B&N:
Alina Starkov doesn’t expect much from life. Orphaned by the Border Wars, all she’s ever been able to rely on is her best friend and fellow refugee, Mal. And lately not even that seems certain. Drafted into the army of their war-torn homeland, they’ve been sent on a dangerous mission into the Fold, a swath of darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh.
When their convoy is attacked, all seems lost until Alina reveals a dormant power that not even she knew existed. She is torn from everything she knows and whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. He believes that she is the answer the people have been waiting for: the Sun Summoner. Only her power can destroy the Fold.
Overwhelmed by luxury, envied as the Darkling’s favorite, Alina struggles to keep her wits about her without Mal by her side. But nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her mastery of her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha—and the secrets of her heart.
I think the best order is probably reading Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and then the companion stories. Personally, I adore The Tailor immensely, so I’d recommend reading that after Shadow and Bone. I urge all of my followers to request it at their libraries if it isn’t already there. Check it out, read it, buy it, tell all your mates about it, and make pretty things or request pretty things from myself or any number of fans (such as Lizzie or Angelina, if they’re free!).
Check it out here on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Goodreads!
*Ruin and Rising is set for release sometime in 2014
