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.

How much should I bid. Unfortunately I found it's humor annoyingly glib.

A great way to start your bone. Kathryn is a lovable, long-suffering executive assistant who shows George what its like to be loved and to love. And was beautifully elequent and the way she tied all three generations together was excellent.
