A review by sm_readsbooks
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
This is the second book in the Shadow and Bone trilogy
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the boundaries of the world. With the help of a stuck up prince, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her--or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.
Rating - 4/5 stars
This is the second book in the 'Shadow and Bone' series, and I have very mixed feelings on it. Some of the main characters are turning out to be a little intolerable, and this book just felt like an extension of the first with more indecisiveness and development. This book ends on a major cliffhanger, which is something I don't usually like in books, but still it was big enough to keep me intrigued and want to keep going. I will still read the last book in the series, Ruin and Rising, and hope it is better.
