But mostly, he was a shadow in Alina's mind. I cannot wait to see the cover of Ruin and Rising! I thought it was already revealed, but then I looked it up, and nope! I love the cover art!

He has such an intense presence, and I wished he was there for more than the very beginning and the very end. I still enjoyed reading this, though, and can't wait to read Ruin and Rising! I hope they release the cover image soon, these books have some of the best YA cover art I've seen in some time.Bookmark Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268509613086029168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-13370655275590839532014-02-02T16:01:31.437-05:002014-02-02T16:01:31.437-05:00YAY!

I actually avoided reviews of this book - I wasn't even sure if I *wanted* to continue with the series.

I didn't want to mention anything about Sturmhond, for spoilers purposes, but perhaps... ;) Hopefully book three clears up everything!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-41429817583059119542014-01-31T15:51:37.821-05:002014-01-31T15:51:37.821-05:00Oh yay I'm glad that you liked this one so muc...Oh yay I'm glad that you liked this one so much compared to the first book. I loved the first one but I saw a number of negative reviews for Siege & Storm so I never ended up continuing the series although I have the book sitting on my shelf. I'm glad that you really liked this one, though, because the stuff Alina goes through sounds intense as well as the plot overall. Great review! <33Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-39678173219289706572014-01-31T15:19:57.362-05:002014-01-31T15:19:57.362-05:00Amazing review sweetie. <3 I'm so glad you ...Amazing review sweetie. <3 I'm so glad you mostly loved this book :D I did too. <3 And ahh. It's been a year since I read it! Must re-read soon :) I just loved it so much. And my favorite is Mal, hih. <3 I just don't understand why so many hates him after this book :( SO UNFAIR. I adore him. And I still don't think there should be a love triangle thingy, as I think only Mal fit together with Alina :) Just hoping it will get dealt with early in the next book. <3 Anyway. Amazing review. Thank you for being honest and sharing. <3 Carina Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962924929801205597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-85410285992956834942014-01-31T10:39:29.812-05:002014-01-31T10:39:29.812-05:00I listened to both audiobooks this month and they ...I listened to both audiobooks this month and they were really good. I'm not a fan of the Darkling. I have nothing against him but I just don't like him for Alina. And Sturmhond was such an awesome character! Is he the character you wish was part of the love triangle? Because I kind of did too. I'm rooting for Mal but want more romance. Sometimes I wasn't sure if they were together or not. Looking forward to book 3!Nereyda @Nick and Nereydas Infinite Booklisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068688280866239189noreply@blogger.com
