Shadow and Bone 2. Siege and Storm Book 2 of bestselling trilogy and international Netflix sensation

Die Geschichte von Alina geht weiter und man lernt neue, spannende und liebenswerte Charaktere kennen. (kleiner Spoiler) Stormond ist schnell zu einem meiner Lieblingscharaktere geworden.

Die Reihe ist ideal für YA Fantasy Fans à la Tribute von Panem, Eragon, Divergent oder ähnliches. Am besten lesen bevor die nächste Netflix Staffel kommt ;)

After narrowly escaping the Darkling at the end of „Shadow and Bone“, Alina and Mal are on the run. Before long, their cover is blown, however, and Alina has to really commit to taking him down once and for all. „Siege and Storm“ is a worthy sequel, but I still got the feeling that its main focus is on setting up the big finale. I did enjoy how much Alina changes over the course of this book, even though I don’t necessarily like those changes nor her actions all the time. I think it’s interesting to see how she deals with what she’s done, justifies the things she is going to do and how much power the Darkling still holds over her. There are also a few new characters introduced in this installment, whom I’d love to read more about in the finale, Nikolai being just one of them. I recommend the „Shadow and Bone“ trilogy to every fan of the genre, teens as well as adults.

(small spoiler) Stormhond / Nikolai really carried this book. With him as an ally Alina got a lot of new possibilities. (not to talk about their great chemistry!) I was very disappointed by Mal's character development. Though I liked him In the first book, in Siege and Storm he seemed just boring and super annoying ALL. THE. TIME. I really disliked him. As for Alina herself, well, she learned a lot about being a leader and had a good development from this scared little girl who wanted to be left alone to a woman who gave everything to save her country. The final battle was epic, and, to be honest, quite a surprise.

Gute Trilogie, spannende Fortsetzung. Sympathische Charaktere, die sich weiter entwickeln.
