"No Sophomore Slump Here!" Siege and Storm is the rare second book in a trilogy that actually outshines the first. Leigh Bardugo takes everything I loved about Shadow and Bone and turns the stakes up to eleven. From the very first chapter, I was hooked, and I absolutely could not put this book down. Character Growth & The Ultimate Showstopper: Nikolai Alina really steps into her role as the Sun Summoner, transforming from a scared girl to a powerful, complex leader. Watching her navigate her growing powers, her dark connection to the Darkling, and her fractured relationship with Mal made for such an emotional journey. And can we talk about Nikolai Lantsov? His introduction as Sturmhond is pure magic! He is charming, witty, and brings a much-needed breath of fresh air and sass to the darker moments. He is easily one of my favorite characters in the entire Grishaverse now. Intense Plot & Dark Fantasy The world-building expands beautifully in this book, introducing us to new, fascinating corners of the Grishaverse and bringing in higher-stakes politics and war preparation. The Darkling is more menacing and complex than ever, and his new, forbidden powers are terrifying. The ending was so intense that I had to immediately start the next book. Final Thoughts If you loved Shadow and Bone, this book is a must-read. It is a brilliant, emotional, and action-packed continuation that sets up the finale perfectly. A solid 5/5 stars—I am officially obsessed! Key Highlights: ✅ Nikolai/Sturmhond: The best addition to the series. ✅ Alina's Agency: She grows into a real leader. ✅ Pacing: Thrilling, with high-stakes action. ✅ World-Building: Deeper and more expansive. Review: captivating, fast paced, and action packed Tsarpunk fantasy - Siege and Storm was enjoyable sequel to Shadow and Bone that revolved around Alina and Mal’s life on the run, their struggling relationship, Darkling on their tail, and Ravka’s situation making things complicated. The story was about politics, power, love, friendship, betrayal, accepting power and strength, and not let anyone change who you’re. Writing was fabulous, vivid, engaging and fast paced. It was written in first person narrative from Alina’s POV. Author sure knew how to keep her reader engaging from the very first page. Plot was interesting and like most readers said it was like cat-and-mouse game with miscommunication or rather lack of proper communication trope. Book started few months after the end of first book. Alina and Mal travelled the True Sea and were living in slum area of one of the cities of Novyi Zem but they were being hunted and circumstances brought Alina back to where everything started- once again prisoner of Darkling on famous pirate/Privateer’s ship, Darkling looking for a way to gain control over Alina’s power of sun summoner. However, just when Darkling was about to take control over Alina’s power, she and Mal escaped with help of Privateer. Alina’s power was growing but it wasn’t enough against the horrifying change in Darkling and his forbidden magic. Alina’s only way to stop running for their life and take the responsibility of what happened on the Fold in previous book was to lead the Grisha army against Darkling and find a way to grow her power even more. But power and victory doesn’t come without sacrifice. I was curious to read how Alina’s power would affect her and Mal’s relationship, what Darkling was planning, could Alina lead remaining Grisha army and would they follow her, who she could trust and who would betray her, and how arrival of second prince would change things in Ravka. Characters were interesting, flawed, complex and no character was black and white. It was sad to see Darkling only in first and last few chapters. It was like he was in background in most of the book. I wanted to know more about his power and what forbidden magic he was using. I guess that will be revealed in next book. We see in this how far he could go and what horrible punishment he could inflict with his mysterious power. He was so evil but really interesting character. Nikolai was my most favourite character in the book. I could see why he was everyone’s favourite. He made Alina and Mal’s exhausting relationship bearable, gave fresh breath this book needed. It was pretty easy to guess who he was, but the way it was revealed made me smile. He was charming, witty, clever, ambitious, brilliant leader, and a little like Darkling but with conscience. He knew difference between right and wrong and he had principles. I don’t get why Alina felt frustrated around him, she should think about Mal and herself. Alina was okay. I liked how she was understanding her power and loved using it and it was great to see her changing a little in good way by learning from Nikolai and leading Grisha. I felt for her for what happened in Fold. I could understand her guilt and need to take responsibility, her feelings towards religious fanaticism and politics and feeling torn between her responsibilities, power and love of her life. I was glad at the end she could at least voice that she couldn’t part from her power, she would never let go of her Grisha gift but at the same time I was mad at her for feeling low or feeling guilty and taking blame over her head for increasing gap in her and Mal’s relationship. Mal was my least favourite character. I was bracing for that. First half the book wasn’t bad, he went along with whatever happened but in second half, he was being total idiot and jerk. I haven’t seen any hero so insecure and jealous. He basically ignored Alina his whole life, went after other girls leaving her unnoticed. And now that Alina had men wooing her and people noticed her, he was feeling jealous! He knew power made her happy and healthy and yet he wished she never had those power and never used it! He claimed she was his nation and everything in the world, his love was eternal so how could he not accept her for what she was, along with her power, not respect her wish, not help her accomplishing in her mission!! And then blaming her for all his fault, childish sulk, not understanding his feeling and not keeping in mind his need and happiness! Argh, really! I was so ready to push him in Fold and urge and cheer Alina to go out with Nikolai. World was best part of the book. I enjoyed reading more about world outside Ravka, more details on Ravka’s border, religion and belief, stories of saints, tales of Ravka, and other amplifiers. Royal politics was interesting. I still don’t understand what apparat wanted but I hope to have more clear idea on it in next book. Apart from world, what I enjoyed most was banter between Nikolai, Alina and Mal, conversation between Alina and Nikolai, the way Alina made changes at Little Palace, and action scenes. There wasn’t exactly much romance in the book. It was more about change in Mal and Alina’s relationship and how Alina’s power and responsibilities was affecting it. Some twist and turns I could see coming but that climax surprised me. It was brilliantly written and I loved Nikalai’s dialogues in that moment. Everything from that moment was tense, action packed and adrenaline filled. I enjoyed reading what happened before end. End was so gloomy and made me more anxious. I’m itching to read next book. Why 4 stars- Do I have to write it? I would have easily given this book 5 stars if it wasn’t for Mal and Alina. I just wanted to bang their heads and put amplifier on them that could give them power of sense. As I said they made middle part of the book exhausting. Overall, Siege and Storm was captivating, fast paced, and action packed Tsarpunk (I’m taking author’s word from Q&A) fantasy with fabulous writing, interesting characters and engrossing world. If you enjoyed first book, are fan of author’s writing, interesting secondary characters and villain, and love Grisha world, I sure recommend this book (all I say just ignore Mal and you’ll enjoy this). ## Features - GrishaVerse - Grishaverse ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,880 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Fantasy for Young Adults #70 in Romance for Young Adults #146 in Visionary & Metaphysical Fantasy Fiction for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 32,347 Reviews | ## Images ![SIEGE AND STORM (B PB): THE GRISHA BOOK 2 (Shadow and Bone) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iTG5sYcoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Sophomore Slump Here *by S***S on 31 January 2026* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Thrilling, Action-Packed Masterpiece!
