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.

Overall a great follow up from the first book!. Overall a great follow up from the first book! Things progress a little slower in this one but I still enjoyed it. Lauren Fortgang does an amazing job with the narration. She’s quickly becoming a favorite. I love the way she embraces each character and breathes life into them.

It’s okey. I’ve read better books and with more character development, she doesn’t really progress much. The first book I liked. This one the beginning was good. But, then so slow and I was bored through the entire middle and a predictable end. She constantly says the same things over and over. I’m not paying to read the last one.

Wonderful. Love the story and the characters!

Hunger Games Rip-off or “Girl Complaining All Day” diary?. This books premise was decent and the other book Six of Crows does such a good job building a story and a world that I was expecting that to be done here, given it’s opening. The next thing you know you’re in a terrible version of the Hunger Games book two as they run around on parade. The comparison continues with the prince suddenly having feelings for Alina and it just keeps getting worse as she “struggles” between Mal, the prince, and the darkling. Like can we have some originality here? The book is boring and Alina is supposedly “changing” but she never really shows struggling outside of some misplaced angst that is frankly annoying after page 500 of her complaining and being overly moody. What could be a book filled with intrigue and details as she takes over the second army and delves into the workings of Os Alta and the mythology she is chasing, instead its glossed over for inner dialogue where she just complains. The book is nothing NOTHING like the Six of Crows and is cheap cannon fodder that falls in line with tortured love triangle girl with destiny trope. She does women a disservice by being cowardly instead of stepping up and being more multi-faceted and frankly I can’t believe it can get any worse. What a let down.

Love it. I love it so much and I loved Nikolai he is one of the best characters.

AMAZING. So I thought the first book was your typical fantasy novel ext. Boy was I wrong, this book was perfect. All of the characters were interesting and important. The plot was perfect. My only criticism is Mal. He is such a baby in this book but just know he gets better 😌. Read READ READ READ. PLEASE.

Shutupandtakemymoney. Simply BRILLIANT!

Great book!. I love this book

Mmhhhh. It was okay. I read book one and literally died over it. It just had the perfect amount of romance and action and it was just perfection! I picked up book two and be warned: It’s slow. Like SLOWWWW. It gets better around page 200, but overall the first half was just a missed cause for me. However, the romance was still perfection, the action was pretty awesome, and Nikolai is just SHEER WONDERFULNESS. Other than that, it was a 3/5. Still a good book though!

Nowhere as goodcas the first. A huge chunk of this book just dragged on and felt like it was just trying to fill pages. I am even trying to decide if it's worth reading the last book in the trilogy.

this one > the first one. I honestly REALLY loved this book. LIKE SO MUCH, the character development, although long overdue, from the protagonist was *chefs kisses*. There were so many more characters in this book that I enjoyed! After reading this book, I better understand Alina's connection to Mal, and that was something that was lacking in the first one. Nikolai, can have my children. I will reproduce heir with you, PLEASE. The face off at the end left me speechless, i would like to keep this spoiler free so i won't go into details. BUT OH MY GOD. ALL the characters went through some sort of character development and I enjoyed every second of it. I enjoyed every second of this book. If you didn't like the 1st one as much as you'd hoped, READ. THIS. ONE. you won't be disappointed!!

I’d say it’s a 4/10. This book had its parts but overall it was slow and it dragged on and on over the same things. Honestly it felt like I was waiting for something exciting and it just didn’t come which was disappointing. Mal bothered me and so did Alina whining about him constantly. It took me a long time to get through. However, I loved Toyla and Tamar as well as david and Nikolai. They are great characters and I hope to see more of them in the next book!

I really enjoyed it!!. Review originally posted on Reading Books Like a Boss Siege and Storm is a solid second book in the Grisha trilogy that I really enjoyed! At the end of Shadow and Bone , the Darkling was a bad, bad boy. Like really freaking bad. His failed attempts to bend Alina to his will results in him killing an entire village of people. Yikes! Is it wrong of me to say that I still love him a lot little bit after that horrid display of power? Mal and Alina escape his grips and find refuge in a small town across the Fold. What I have enjoyed so much about the first two books in the series is the amount of action right from the beginning. Bardugo gives readers a little introduction and then BOOM something huge happens and you don't want to put the book down. In Shadow and Bone, it was the discovery of Alina's power. In Siege and Storm, it is the Darkling's sudden appearance at Mal and Alina's boarding house. And just as the Darkling leaves the scene again, a new favorite character emerges. His name is Sturmhond and he is the best. He's the privateer with a sense of humor. He's the guy who commands an entire ship of people with charm and a strong hand. There is so much I want to say about him but I don't want to give too much away. I loved how he lit up a scene. Most of all, I loved how Alina didn't put up with his crap. Their interactions were really funny! "You can't be serious," I said. "Not on a regular basis, no," said Sturmhond. In Shadow and Bone, Alina didn't have the luxury to come to terms with the enormity of her power. In this book, she's even more powerful with not one but two amplifiers. Even with this new power, she still didn't feel like she fit in. "Even dressed in a glittering kefta and seated beside a price, I was still a peasant from a no-name town. I didn't belong with these people, and I didn't really want to." The relationship between Mal and Alina changes in this one but I felt like it was a very natural progression, considering all of the outside forces at work. With Alina coming into a new role in this book, Mal's lack of a Grisha ability is ever so present. They drift apart, which made me really sad. What I love about their relationship is that it has roots. Mal has loved her since they were little and Alina always say him as the unattainable guy. He fought for her in Shadow and Bone, which is totally hot, right? I have to say that I was a little disappointed in just how absent the Darkling was. I loved him in Shadow and Bone. He is probably one of the most enigmatic villains I've ever read. Something about him just draws you to him. He was gone for a large majority of the book, which left me feeling a bit frustrated. This novel had action in the beginning and crazy action in the end but the middle of the book was a bit slow in parts. There was a lot of focus on Alina's new role at the Little Palace, her relationships. I really liked her new friendship with Sturmhond and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book what with Sturmhond, Mal, and the Darkling all coming together. I think it's going to be insane. 4 stars

Worth the wait. Rarely is there a book I can't put down. This series is amazing! A new story, not another re telling of some other famous book. Fresh and exciting. Can't wait for the finale.

Alright read. Didn’t enjoy the end. I thought it was a decent book. Would have enjoyed more world building around the Capital and Alina in charge, but it’s whatever. I thought the end was a little unsatisfying but that is personal taste. Overall enjoyed this book worth the price and a quick read.

Two thumbs up. Excellent follow up, a fun, fast read.

I liked it. A lot of people say they thought it was slow but I didn’t really think so- idk if my opinion is really valid tho bc the only reason I’m reading this is so I can read six of crows

Awesome book!. I loved this very good book recommend

Love It!!. Amazing read!! If u like the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and the movie Treasure Planet, I promise u will love this trilogy!!
