Siege and Storm (Grishaverse Book 2)

Annnnnd, I've decided to re-read Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse series instead of starting one of my many, many (many) TBR piles. So here we are. Re-reading "Siege and Storm". SPOILERS if you saw Season One but never actually read the entire trilogy.

["Darkness never dies.

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her—or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm."]

NIKOLAI!!! :D Alllllll of the heart eyes. I mean, honestly, I can't. I just, I love him so fucking much. I just, holy shit. He reminds me of Sirius and another character/person I can't think of right now and I'm so damn weeeeaaak for this type of character its not even real.

Also, I believe I said before, but the Darkling just doesn't die. Sorry, y'all.

I mean, I know Alina's not perfect, which is so nice because she's real and makes mistakes and is vulnerable and doesn't know what she wants or what she's doing (which is so damned relatable), but holy hell, I do not remember this Mal. Like shit y'all.

So now we're going back to thinking about Nikolai instead ;)

Final note: We haven't heard any confirmation about a renewal/green-light for Season Two yet, but I've heard rumors of rumors that they've started sending out casting calls... Though that post was a week or so ago. And now all I'm seeing are joke-posts about casting :(
