Impossible to put down.” ―USA Today“There’s a level of emotional and historical sophistication within Bardugo’s original epic fantasy that sets it apart.” ―Vanity Fair“Unlike anything I’ve ever read.” ―Veronica Roth, bestselling author of Divergent“Bardugo crafts a first-rate adventure, a poignant romance, and an intriguing mystery!” ―Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson series“This is a great choice for teenage fans of George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien.” ―RT Book ReviewsRead all the books in the Grishaverse!The Shadow and Bone Trilogy(previously published as The Grisha Trilogy)Shadow and BoneSiege and StormRuin and RisingThe Six of Crows DuologySix of CrowsCrooked KingdomThe Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic Alina and Mal have successfully escaped the grips of the Darkling — but not for long. The Darkling seems to be omnipresent, omniscient, and now has a new, even more terrifying ability: he can create shadow creatures out of darkness. Alina knows the Darkling needs to be stopped and she is the only one who has the power to. Alongside new allies; Stormhund the privateer, and Tamar and Toyla the twin Grishas, she returns to the Little Palace to become the new leader of the Second Army and harness her powers more than ever. But will the power get to Alina’s head? Will she be strong enough for the Darkling? Will her and Mal’s relationship survive this looming war? (Not that I care but, ya know)The Pros:Alina finally stopped being a whiny, useless slug and became powerful and badass like I’ve been wantingNikolai/Stormhond is utterly hilarious and I am so happy he came to exist in this bookThe Darkling is still so fascinating to me. Every scene with him just leaves me with so many questions and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up — he’s just so intriguingThe Cons:Mal is still here and is even more annoying, which I didn’t think possibleRemember Genya? Yeah, I don’t because she’s in this book for two scenes (one in which she doesn’t even speak)The Darkling‘s appearance is at an all time minimum.The ending. Dare I say it was…boring? Not the ending sequence, which was pretty badass and action- packed, but just how the book ends in generalI love everything about this series, except where the plot is going. Every time I’m loving a book in this series I get to the end and I’m just like, oh.Am I the only one that wanted this series to take on a more sinister plot? There are so many times that it’s hinted it will go that way but then it never does. Leigh Bardugo has created such an interesting, complex villain but then someone like Mal takes up 50% of the book. Mal, who is an average, ordinary, underwhelming character that I’ve seen in 100 other books. I don’t get why there’s such an emphasis on him, especially when his character is not evolving, developing, or growing at allIn Shadow and Bone I didn’t like the ending because I don’t care about Mal and his addition towards the end of the book was underwhelming. And now in Siege and Storm I didn’t like the ending either! Literally nothing happened. And I’m not talking about the first 300ish pages – those were great. I’m talking about the ending. The ending could have been so much more had it just gone a different way. But now, the entire lead up to the ending was…pretty much for nothing? Based on the ending of these last two books, I almost 90% sure how Ruin and Rising is going to end, which sucks. I want some surprises, some twists. I’m really hoping that Leigh Bardugo will surprise me with the next bookI loved everything else about this book. It started off strong and action-packed with a visit from the Darkling and his new and improved power. And then we meet some new characters: Nikolai, Tamar, and Tolya. Nikolai is…a fantastic character. He is the complete opposite of the Darkling, yet somehow I love them both so much.And despite a lot of people saying the middle of this book was slow and boring, I really liked it! I didn’t find it slow at all. There was a lot of planning and waiting, but I didn’t find those parts drawn out and still enjoyed them. I loved getting to know Nikolai and I was so happy that Alina grew more powerful and authoritative. Her banter with Nikolai is honestly my favorite.Overall, there’s nothing inherently wrong with this book, per say. It’s mostly just my preferences for how I want the plot to go that made me dock 1 star. But I will say that in terms of character development, Mal is lacking.

Well folks, this has been a whirlwind. I might have to do it. He leapt to his feet, muscles responding reluctantly to his demands, and shifted into fighting stance.

  • Interview with Leigh Bardugo
    Interview with Leigh Bardugo [00:00:09] Kendra Hello, I'm Kendra Winchester, here with Joce of @squibblesreads. And this is Reading Women, a podcast inviting you to reclaim half the bookshelf by discussing books written by or about women. Today, we're talking to Leigh Bardugo, the author of NINTH HOUSE and—most recently—THE LIVES OF SAINTS and other books in the Grishaverse, which are out now from Flatiron Books. [00:00:34] Joce For full transcript of this episode, check out this episode's show notes on readingwomenpodcast.com. And make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss a single episode. [00:00:43] Kendra So when Flatiron pitched this interview to Reading Women, I was like, Huh. I've read a few books by Leigh Bardugo, but I think Joce has read a lot of them. And I emailed you. And then, like, all the exclamation points arrived in my inbox. [00:01:04] Joce There they were. Yes, I was extremely excited. I was like, how much of my life do I have to give to Kendra in order to get the opportunity to appear on this interview? [00:01:17] Kendra And it really works out because I have not read all of her books. And I believe you have read all—if not, most of them. And so we were able to have a great conversation with Leigh Bardugo about all of the things. And I mean, she has so many books. It's like, where do you even start? [00:01:36] Joce Yeah, I mean, yes.

  • Taking the Reader “Someplace a Little Different”
    Taking the Reader “Someplace a Little Different” RUSSIAN-NESS IN YOUNG ADULT FANTASY Karlijn Kitzen Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor: Dr. O. Dekkers MA Thesis European Literature 15 June 2019 Kitzen s4405447/2 Kitzen s4405447/3 Summary Young adult literature (YAL) has been growing in popularity since its conception in the mid- twentieth century. While young adult novels dominate the commercial literary market, academic scholarship on YAL is still limited. In recent years, there has been more and more demand for YAL that is diverse in its nature. The market has answered this demand to an extent and there have been a number of titles published with POC or LGBTQI+ characters and stories. This demand is not limited to contemporary young adult literature. Many novels in genres such as fantasy or science fiction have also become more diverse, whether this is in the settings or the cast of these novels. There is a growing amount of young adult fantasy fiction that is set in non-Western worlds, in both the high and low fantasy categories. These are Asian, Arabian, African and Latin inspired worlds. Yet, we can also see a different trend emerge. There have been a number of novels set in Russia or a world inspired by Russia within the last decade. This thesis aims to explore this emergence of Russia as a setting and thematic background in young adult fantasy. To examine the role of Russian-ness in these young adult fantasy novels, Leerssen and Beller’s theory of imagology will be employed. The novels that will be analysed in this thesis are Shadow and Bone (2012) by Leigh Bardugo, The Bear and the Nightingale (2017) by Katherine Arden, The Crown’s Game (2016) by Evelyn Skye and Wicked Saints (2019) by Emily A.
