Siege and Storm (Grisha Trilogy (Shadow and Bone))
My review: 5 of 5 stars
Unexpected twists, high-seas adventures, military plots and uneasy alliances, complex relationships and character growth all make for a fantastic sequel in this second book of the Grisha Trilogy. The epic battles were heart-pounding, and the story is as powerful and magical as its characters.
