On Leigh Bardugo‘s tenth stop in her blog tour, there’s actually two book reviews involved in this, and from somewhat very different perspectives, but still, neither can deny that the story still attracts them to find out more about the story and what challenges face Alina as well as the supporting characters.

Here’s what Kate from The Book Monsters had to say on her final verdict:

Siege and Storm is a battle read, plain and simple. The line has been drawn in the sand. Alina and the Darkling fighting for what each believes in. And there may only be one winner at the end of the day. Who will it be? I don’t know. But I do know that Siege and Storm is one of the best sequels I have ever read. It is dark, crushing, gut renching, and so, so much more. I loved every moment of this read, and hate that I now have to wait so long for the next installment.

And here’s what Kristen had to say on her final verdict:

Slow at times, Siege and Storm felt a little too chunky and weighted down with a lot of down time and lack of action. I put this one down a lot when it got slow, but found myself drawn back into the story and not forgetting any moments even when taking a month to read it on and off. Definitely a series I will finish off.
