Title: Siege and Storm
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Publication date: June 4, 2013
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
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.

Why I'm wishing:
Just finishing the first book, Shadow and Bone, I was left with that dreaded impatience of wanting the sequel. Shadow and Bone was one of those savior books where I read tons of blah novels and then voilà! Shadow and Bone rescued me from my reading slump. So now I want to see what happens with all my beloved characters and get back to the fantastic fantasy. Please and thank you.
What are you wishing for this week?
It was totally a savior book for me, too! I almost chose this book for my WW today. So many characters to love (ahem Darkling. Mal) Can't wait!

ReplyDeleteMy W.O.W.
You are. You really, really are :)
DeleteWhen reading the first instalment if a new series that I really like, I sometimes wish I waited for it to be finished before starting on it. I understand all too well, the dreaded impatience of wanting the sequel. Lovely typography on the cover of this book btw. I hope you'll be able to read it soon after its release.
ReplyDeleteMy WW can be found on Le Chat de Bibliothèque.
