Ahhh! Hahaha Can we reminisce on that one time Alina and the Darkling where in a dark room together up against the door? And now we get more? Yay
I was thinking about that because what if people have other commitments? If you read each day till the 1st (that's the Q&A day) then it's only 32-33 pages a day for 11 days, not so bad like that !(:
Understandable, do what you need to then come here but don't forget to give yourself mini breaks .(:
Oh gosh I don't even know, I'm just exited that we get the book soon !!(:
Very excited! I read chapters 1-5 of Shadow and Bone but had been so busy I hadn't gotten around to getting the actual book. But I got it last month and my son is in love with The Grisha Trilogy! I cannot wait to read it! I am so in April 21st!
@courtney I'm so glad the wait is almost over because there's is so much we need to now and I need to see more of Alina and the darkling!
The struggle to wait is real.Haha but I'm going to be on a trip when it's released and that's torture- knowing that I'll be away and will have to wait till I'm back
@courtney it's the same for me, I won't be able to read the book until July because I'll be out of town :(
Why is everyone going on trips...while I just stay in the same place forever.....I want to go somewhere..... :(
It's okay @Maarianna I feel the same way. My friends are always going to Europe and awesome places out of the country when I only get to travel a little...
Can't wait for this re-read! I got an email from goodreads about the re-read and started fan-girling on the spot! I got a lot of weird looks, but I was too busy fan-girling to care!
Mod
ABSOLUTELY! We're starting on Monday. Hope you're still planning to join!!!

Maddi wrote: "I ship Alina with the Darkling most. He is just such an interesting character. I like Nikolai but I think he is the least possible candidate to end up with Alina. I have seen his kind of character ..."I'm like you. I truly believe Alina should be endgame with the Darkling. But did you read this recent review about R&R ?
[...] Together with faithful childhood friend and would-be lover Mal and the last few remnants of the rebellious Grisha who aided her in the failed rising against the Darkling, Alina leaves the dubious protection of the Rasputin-like Apparat and the zealots who hail her as a saint to go looking for tsarevich Nikolai and for the fabled firebird. They seek Nikolai as the last political hope for Ravka’s future and the firebird for the third amplifier that will make Sun Summoner Alina invincible against the Darkling and powerful enough to unmake the Unsea that divides Ravka in two. Neither quest is easy or obvious, as Bardugo places obstacles both physical and emotional in Alina’s path at every turn. She is most successful at delineating Alina’s internal conflict as she struggles to balance love for Mal against both pragmatism and fondness for Nikolai, desire for peace and justice against naked lust for power[...] Every time readers may think she’s written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously."
I'm so confused. There is ANY mention to "Feelings" between Alina and the Darkling, only "love for Mal" and "fondness for Nikolai"
What does that mean ? That makes any sense for me.
I should create a discussion to discuss about this review.

Every book is becoming a film lately .
I wonder how this one will turn out. :/
Probably great cause Leigh Bardugo is helping Shadow & Bone get made.
I'm not braggin but She did send me a personal message back last year! :)
Ok, maybe I am braggin a little bit.

I have seen his kind..."I saw that review too and thought the exact same thing. Maybe the reviewer is keeping things quiet? I definitely know that there will be Darkling x Alina moments based on Leigh Bardugo's tweets.
God! I wish June 17th would just hurry up and be here, already!! My only hope is that Ruin and Rising is a little less political than the Siege and Storm! Either way, it will be EPIC!Books 1&2 received all the way in India courtesy of The Guardian! Waiting for part threeee!
Hi guys! Have you been trying to unlock the content here,http://www.grishatrilogy.com/#
It contains new scenes from R&R. But I'm not sure it is working. Does anyone know?

Do you have Tweeter, or tumblr, or Instgram ? You just have to share a comment with the #RuinandRising and you will unclocked. I don't have any of them, shit.
Can someone do it and post it ?

Do you ..."
Believe you me, I'm following all of the instructions and so far the tumblr malina scene task doesn't work and the tweeter hasn't unlock yet.
I don't think they'll unlock immediately. Perhaps they will after a number of people have completed each task?
That's what I'm trying to see, if it's only me or everyone else is going through the same.

You mean like they did to Ignite Me. In the other discussion, many also said that it doesn't work and someone already send a tweet to Leigh
It will not work yet :) It is most likely like all the other sites like it; it needs A LOT of tweets to unlock. :)
Ok thanks for the info, so it may take a while then.Have you done this before for other series? How long does it take: days or weeks?
I just want to get my hands on all of those extra scenes... AAAHHHHH!!!
Heeh. For Cress it is still not done.. But hopefully it will just take a few days :) but it may take weeks; if just a few tweets :\

The serie of Shatter me. For The last book, we could unlock the first 15th chapters, if we share a certain number of tweets. And, if I remember, for the first 5 chapters, it took, hum, hours
Ok, thanks, then I'll force to my brain to stop twitching for lack of Malina/Darklina scenes and go back to normal, whatever that is T__T
yea but it doesn't say anywhere that a certain number needs to do this to unlock i so I'm really confused
WinterRose wrote: "A WEEK?! Just let me die now."From what I'm seeing on twitter, it seems like people are focusing on the map... which means the content might open in order.
So, first Map needs to open, and then the next one and so on and so forth.
This is going to take a while. *cries*
Am I the only one who think it's weird that there is a scene with Tolya and Tamar ? They are, well, secondary characters, no ?
Lol yes I think so too. Let's be real everyone wants shippy scenes. :P
My guess is that they're getting a spin off.(Leigh said she is writing or will write something else in Ravka with characters we know who are not the main characters of this trilogy. I can't think of anyone else who she might be spinning off than the twins.)
I hope we get the content soon or I will die *goes to sleep til content is available*

The world building has been so good, I can see how there could be more stories from Ravka. The twins aren't too sexy, though. . .
Oh, I do like the twins! And I have to laugh because I think the names are backwards, too. It is just that there is so much sexiness in the trilogy, I would have some expectation of that with a spin off. Can't imagine it with the twins, you know?

I should go back and reread their part in the story. It has been a year, I think. Would be cool if the story could go in such a dramatically different direction with those characters and your setting!
