Siege and Storm (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #2)

by Leigh Bardugo

We do our best. We try. And usually, it makes no difference at all.

One of the most relatable quotes from this book.

“You know the problem with heroes and saints, Nikolai?” I asked as I closed the book’s cover and headed for the door. “They always end up dead.”

This made my skin crawl

The war cry that issued from their lips raised the hair on my arms.

and on my arms too.
