Here’s what Huffington’s YA Book Blogger, Lisa Parkin, had to say about the book:

I’m so thankful for another stellar sequel. My expectations were ridiculously high, as Shadow and Bone was my all-time favorite book of 2012.

With interesting Russian influences and an absolutely unpredictable plot, Siege and Storm kept high fantasy alive and well in YA fiction. There are power struggles and epic battles and evil dark forces at work. This book kicked my butt and broke my heart. (Don’t the best always do?)
