"This isn't hope, I thought. It's madness. It's hunger, need, desperation."
The only thing that was going through my mind once the book came to an end was: holy shit that was intense. If you haven't read Siege and Storm or the first book Shadow and Bone then drop everything and go pick it up!

"Superstition is a powerful thing."
"So is faith."
5 STARS , favorite shelved and best read of the year, thus far.
If Shadow and Bone promised and delivered Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance. Siege and Storm brought Love. Dragon. Magic. Snarkling.
It's Darkling vs Snarkling y'all.
I'm just laughing at my review for the first book, at how very elementary my assumptions were about this series. Reducing the characters to mere PNR stereotypes was my first mistake, the second w ...more

Is it 2014 yet? I need book #3 now!

What an exciting, thrilling sequel to Shadow and Bone! I have to admit, the middle part stretched out longer than I would've liked, although I do understand that it was necessary to go through the boring strategy meetings, the restlessness and the depressing moments for us to fully get the internal turmoil that Alina was going through.

1. Alina - She was a far more interesting character here than in the previous book. She i ...more

This book was a much faster pace than the first one. There was a lot of action and some heart stopping moments. There were also some heartbreaking moments. Several new characters were introduced. I loved the dynamic between them and Alina. I can not wait to see how this journey ends.
