See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with Shadow and Bone, now a Netflix series.

Enter the Grishaverse with Book Two of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.

Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Alina Starkov's power has grown, but not without a price. She is the Sun Summoner-hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Shadow Fold. But she and Mal can't outrun their enemies for long.

The Darkling is more determined than ever to claim Alina's magic and use it to take the Ravkan throne. With nowhere else to turn, Alina enlists the help of an infamous privateer and sets out to lead the Grisha army.

But as the truth of Alina's destiny unfolds, she slips deeper into the Darkling's deadly game of forbidden magic, and further away from her humanity. To save her country, Alina will have to choose between her power and the love she thought would always be her shelter. No victory can come without sacrifice-and only she can face the oncoming storm.

Povestea lui Alina continua, insa caracterul care mi s-a parut cel mai amuzant in aceasta carte era Nikolai.

Firru . a dat nota:

The second Grishaverse book, Siege and Storm follows directly on the heels of its predecessor, Shadow and Bone with Alina and Mal on the run from Voldemort-like Darkling into the land of the Zemeni...but not for long. The book starts out at a sprint as the Darkling hunts the Sun Summoner and her beloved tracker before dragging them back into Ravka where the pace slows down again until a confrontation at the end of the book which naturally leaves us hanging and waiting for the library copy of Ruin and Rising to come in. I would say it was better written than Shadow and Bone, on par with Six of Crows, but not as complex and intriguing as Crooked Kingdom. As I stated in my review of Shadow and Bone, I do appreciate the originality of Bardugo's universe, but sometimes the blatant references to the Harry Potter universe (the morphing bad guy who is centuries old, the color-coded "houses") or Lord of the Rings (Alina's struggle with the collar and scales is like that of Bilbo and Gollum with the Ring) become a bit distracting at times. I think that she learned this lesson for the last few books. As for kids, there is still a lot of death and blood in this book although no torture per se or "I promise not to kill you, oops, joking! you're dead" moments like in Six of Crows. Hopefully, my son will see the dangers of religious fanaticism (although I feel that this will morph a bit in Ruin and Rising) and unbridled ambition and appreciate loyalty and each person's unique gifts (although in this book we truly only focus on Alina's gifts more than those of the other surviving Grishas). So, from a morals perspective, this one also comes up short compared to Crooked Kingdom I have to say. In its favor, I suppose, is the Grishaverse version How To Win Friends and Influence People where the text is peppered with pithy maxims such as "Love speaks in flowers, truth requires thorns" (sort of a goth manifesto I suppose) which Nikolai uses to impart wisdom to his would-be acolyte and object of his unrequited love, Alina. Regardless, it is an exciting and fun read and I am looking forward to the trilogy conclusion in Ruin and Rising.

Descriere

Hunted across the True Sea and haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret, in this follow-up to the "New York Times" bestseller "Shadow and Bone."

Recenzii

Siege and Storm carries on the fantastic plot which was so intricately carved in book one, and the writing continues to be clever, funny and heartbreaking all at the same time. This book will have you laughing one minute and an emotional wreck the next, as Alina's powers are pushed to the limit and her relationships are tested to breaking point. I for one cannot wait for the third and final book.
I was away on the ships and wandering through Ravka with Alina and Mal, I was on the receiving end of his kisses and his annoyances. I felt the sun warm the pages whenever Alina summoned and I felt the fear when The Darkling was around. There is nothing I don't love about the world in which the Grisha trilogy is set and I cannot wait until next year to see how this series is going to conclude.
I wrote a piece here gushing about why the Grisha series is so different and so special. There are many small reasons that all come together to create the awesomeness. But there are also many more that I can't even explain. Maybe it is different because it is just magic. It has the most exquisitely constructed world, the best-written characters, the most amazing writing and storyline. And it always always always leaves me desperate for more. It always leaves me aching, foaming at the mouth, for more: right now. And that, perhaps, is why it is so special. It is magic. It is beautiful. It is perfect.
Well, except for that cliffhanger. How am I meant to make it a whole year with that hanging over my head?!

Leigh Bardugo, you sure know how to involve your readers and make them an emotional wreck. Siege and Storm is an enthralling sequel that seriously ups the game and expectations of the reader. It is written so beautifully that is flows flawlessly while keeping the magic alive in the readers mind. If you want to read a fantasy series that has a truly unique world then read this series.
Wow, wow, wow - that's all I can say. Siege and Storm only confirms that Leigh Bardugo is a must-read author for all teenage bookworms and fantasy fans! Set in a beautiful and magical fictional land, the novel draws you in with its vivid imagery and unique array of characters... If you haven't entered the world of Grisha yet, then why on earth not?! I mean, you know a novel is superb when words fail you and you just can't coherently speak anymore... right?
In so many series the second book is a huge let-down. Siege and Storm? An exception. It is a squillion times better than Shadow and Bone... I adore the writing - it's so lyrical, so beautiful, yet so modern and witty and funny. I love this blend of classic fairytale and modern day. And it always seems to leave me wanting more! And the plot was amazing too. It was just nonstop action, nonstop thrills, nonstop suspense and nonstop excitement. I gobbled it up, falling harder in love each time. And then having my heart totally broken. Numerous times... I didn't see ninety-nine percent of the twists coming and could have just read this three-hundred-odd-paged-book in one sitting! You know, if I didn't need sleep and food and stuff...
