“Siege and Storm” is the second book in the “Grisha” trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. The series is set in a world where magic exists and the ones who are able to perform it are called Grisha. They are part of the second army of the kingdom. Alina was and orphan until she found out she was Grisha, and if that was not enough she also discovered she was a really powerful one.

Even after escaping from the Darkling, Alina is not safe. Her identity is not easy to disguise and soon she will be forced to return to Ravka. She has a duty even if that duty means having to abandon her chances of being with Mal.

“Siege and Storm” was a good book but it did not capture me the way other books does; probably because high-fantasy is not really my “thing”. Even though I had to stop reading it and come later to it, I must say I did enjoy the last half of the book. In my opinion the beginnings of these books are a little uneventful and that is the reason why I felt like I did not care about the characters anymore. Apart from that the world is really unique and interesting, but also hard to get used to it.

To sum up, I do not know if I would recommend this series since it definitely is not for everyone.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
