Daring rogue Nikolai finally joins the fold in Season 2 - covering explosive events of both Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising - streaming now!Įnter 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. What is her identity and can someone that is not a Grisha truly understand her? The funny thing about this novel is that a lot of the drama between Mal and Alina would be solved if they just talked about it.See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone. In Siege and Storm, we see a lot more internal conflict with Alina. There are hints and I may be wrong but I doubt it. I will say, the twist with Mal in the third book seems too obvious. Mal gets much more attention in this novel and that is good. Now, back to the novel and what it gets right. I don’t want to spoil anything major in the first novel for readers who haven’t read the first novel yet. Writing a plot summary for a trilogy is hard when talking about a sequel. And where does Mal fit in all this? It is up to her to figure it all out and stop the Darkling before everything is destroyed. Alina will need to learn to lead and bring change to the empire. With Ravka divided after the Darkling’s plan failed, the Grisha and the first army are in a dire situation. The Darkling pursues another amplifier for Alina with the help of an infamous pirate named Strumhond. A Grisha can only have one amplifer but that rule goes out the window in this novel. Hidden inside a children’s story are images of Morozova’s other amplifiers. Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo book review
