Siege and Storm is much better than Shadow and Bone. I understand now though why Shadow and Bone was so slow. 

Will Mel and Alina be able to save Ravka? Will the power Alina has discovered turn her into someone else? Will it cost her everything? 

Who can she trust in the new second army?

My favourite book in the trilogy. It improves off shadow and bone and makes it better, mal is still useless but he has a personality now. Alians character crows so much throughout the book especially towards the end. Nikolai, taymar and tolyor are the best characters in my opinion.
