by Leigh Bardugo

*The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series!*

Enter the Grishaverse with book two of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by number one New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J. Maas.

Now with a stunning new cover and exclusive bonus material: Nikolai Lantsov character art and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo.

Soldier. Summoner. Saint. Alina Starkov's power has grown, but not without a price. She is the Sun Summoner - hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Shadow Fold. But she and Mal can't outrun their enemies for long.

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. To save her country, Alina will have to choose between her power and the love she thought would always be her shelter. No victory can come without sacrifice - and only she can face the oncoming storm.

warning: kind of (?) spoilery seas ahead:

I loooooved this second instalment. it’s the perfect kind of dark and twisty and I think bardugo’s skill as a writer has shown improvement and growth. bardugo threw in some complications with kind of a love square (???) with alina, mal, the darkling (no surprise there) and sturmhond (I LOVE HIM). mal and alina both struggle with how to live with her increasing power and new goals. I LOVED how bardugo developed the use of magic in this sequel, both with the darkling and alina. alina learns how to be a leader and how to accept herself- which has a pretty steep learning curve. and she ended it on a cliffhanger of epic proportions.

there are also new characters whom I love, particularly STURMHOND (!!!), tamar and tolya, and an old character, Zoya, who I now kind of like a lot but hated in book one??? (bardugo is messing with my heart. I love when authors flip the tables on me like this.)

soooo I will definitely starting #3 ASAP. I can’t get enough of alina and the crew, and I know I’m going to regret it once I get to the end (within a span of a week???), but I JUST CAN’T HELP MYSELF.
