Why I liked Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
I love a book that takes place at sea. The first half of this book hit all the right notes for me when it comes to nautical adventures. While I was disappointed that Alina and Mal did not stay free, this was the next best plot. I would have been happy if they were able to run farther west into the sunset, but I do understand that it would not have made a good trilogy if it ended there.
But PIRATES. I love pirate adventures and this novel scratched that itch. Between the steampunk science and time at sea, this book has everything. I’m going to put some spoilers behind a cut because I did not see the end of this book coming and there are a few other spoilers I would like to discuss.

This is the second book in this trilogy, so If you need to catch up read my review of Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo here!
