I wasn’t a big fan of Shadow and Bone. I was the black sheep on that one. I was hoping that Siege and Storm would blow the first book out of the water and I would love it, like everyone else did. Sadly, I was wrong. It was exactly the same for me as Shadow and Bone was: Meh. I did fare a bit better with all of the foreign/made up terms in this one, because there was a map and […]
