Bardugo, Leigh Siege and Storm, 432 p. Henry Holt,
2013. Violence: PG.
Try as they might, Mal and Alina can not
escape the grasp of the Darkling. Even when
they take refuge on the Sturmhond’s own ship, they are still drawn into the
Darkling’s machinations. Alina, however,
discovers a clue in a red book – the existence of not only a second amplifier,
but the possibility of a third. How much
power does Alina need to defeat the Darkling? Is she willing to risk Mal’s love
for it, or is she willing to even risk her own sanity? There are secret allies to aid and new
stumbling blocks to overcome.
Bardugo’s
second book adds more depth to her overall tale, alternately frustrating, as you
watch Alina abandon Mal, and hopeful as she learns more about this power of
light she possesses. Only for die hard
high fantasy readers though – this is not an easy read. Bring your brains with you.
