“I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”

Thank you so much for accepting my friendship request. You are one of my favourite authors and I cannot wait to own your books! I wish I already did, but I still love reading them! Thank you again and Stay Safe.
Thank youuu so much for accepting my friend request!!! ♥♥ You are one of my favourite writers and I love the Six of Crows book, are some of my favourites! ♥
Thank you so much, Leigh, for accepting my friend request! You are a truly wonderful writer and I can't wait for your next book :)
Thank you for accepting my friend request! I just want to tell you that I have never rooted for a villain more until I read The Grisha trilogy. The ending to the trilogy was poignant and utterly satisfying. Also, the character developments were amazing, particularly Alina's - she was a true inspiration. I have not read Six of Crows (even the title sounds cool) yet, but I will during my winter break, and I am completely excited! It has one of the most beautiful covers that I have ever seen. Thank you, and I'm forever going to read any new story that you release. :)
Wow. This is so cool. 'Leigh is a friend of Aelin.'
*squirms and breaks into a huge grin*
Nikolai is just perfect.
I cannot wait for Six of Crows! :D Thanks so much for basing it in the world we have all fallen so crazily in love with! This ravine is so deep, but I don't want to climb out. Not yet. I could live in Ravka forever.
You're the best. :)

Thank you for accepting my friendship request, Leigh. I have just finished reading Shadow and Bone and am really looking forward to seeing you in Newcastle next week. I found Shadow and Bone compelling reading and am keen to read more of the Grisha books.

I kinda feel like a butt for saying this, but I'm.... rootingforMaltodie. Because Team Darkling and Team Nikolas. Alina deserves someone much better than the boy who neglects her, is jealous of all the attention she receives, and doesn't understand the sacrifices she has made to keep the relationship. I also think Alina needs someone who can match her power or someone who can teach her.
I hope that didn't come off as rude! Just something I was thinking. I do love the books, but Mal is just UGH.

So glad you enjoyed it! The UK is switching to the US title (and I believe the cover) for the paperback release and the sequel (releasing in June) will share the title Siege and Storm with the US version. Hope that helps with the confusion ;) And thanks for the kind words <3

Cant wait to get my hands on Siege & Storm...by the way I have a question: I bought "the gathering dark" version. I would like to buy the uk paperback version of Siege & Storm... are they changing the name again, also for the sequel?;__; (I love the original titles the most ;_;)

Beth - So sorry I missed your message before, but THANK YOU. I'm happy Shadow and Bone was a good addition to your summer reads.
Monica - Very glad you're looking forward to Siege and Storm. And I'm glad S&B piqued your interest in Russia. I kind of hoped the book would be a gateway drug ;)
