The Shadow and Bone Trilogy previously published as The Grisha Trilogy Shadow and Bone Siege and Storm Ruin and Rising The Six of Crows Duology Six of Crows Crooked Kingdom The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous MagicEditorial Review 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 - its 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 didnt 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 didnt need sleep and food and stuff... -- The Book Addicted Girl * GUARDIAN TEEN BOOKS * Wow wow wow - thats 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 havent 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 cant coherently speak anymore... right? * FEED ME BOOKS NOW * 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. * READ WRITE AND READ SOME MORE * 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 cant 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?! * THE BOOK ADDICTED GIRL * 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 dont 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. * READARAPTOR * 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 Alinas powers are pushed to the limit and her relationships are tested to breaking point.

SpecificationsAbout the Author Gennifer Choldenko was born in Santa Monica California and was the youngest of four kids all of whom had big mouths. The only sibling who did not have the trademark Johnson big mouth was Gennifers sister Gina who had Autism. Her parents worked very hard to try to figure out how to help Gina but as Gennifer puts it: "being the parent of a child with severe Autism is like riding a unicycle in an earthquake." Since she was the youngest Gennifer spent a lot of time by herself making up words stories songs and jokes none of which made a lot of sense. After graduating from Brandeis University with a degree in English she went to work in advertising but stopped after realising that all of her work was beginning to sound like the that of a big mouth twelve-year-old... At which point she went to Art School but instead of getting her portfolio together she wrote her first novel she does her best work when shes supposed to be doing something else.
