This week I chose...
Title: Siege and StormAuthor: Leigh Bardugo
Release Date: June 4, 2013
Summary from Goodreads:
Darkness never dies.
Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.
The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, 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.

I think we can all agree that Shadow and Bone was awesome and Leigh Bardugo has some mad talent. And preliminary reviews of this book prove that Siege and Storm will be just as fantastic, if not better. Not to mention this cover is beautiful! For these reasons and more, this baby is pre-ordered and I am eagerly awaiting for June 4th to come around!
What are you waiting on?
OMG!!! I loved Shadow and Bone too and have to pre-order Siege and Storm soon :)

I haven't had a chance to read Shadow and Bone but it's on my list so I'll be adding this one too. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW post
I still haven't read Shadow and Bone... :( Don't throw stones!! I have it, I just haven't read it. I know, I know... completely unacceptable. :( I will read it, and I will read it SOON! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the cover too Nicole, especially the way the dragon is the title.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy this for the cover alone! (:

I have had Shadow and Bone for almost a year now and still haven't read it! I really want to though because everyone talks about how great it is! Must read it soon so I can see what all the buzz is about!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend keeps trying to convince me to read Shadow and Bone. I really want to, I just have no time!!! I'm hoping to read it this summer, and then maybe I can read this one too! It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
I'm right there with you; June 4th is marked on the calendar! Shadow and Bone was definitely one of my favorites from last year. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThat cover is so cool looking.
