Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo captivates with its rich world-building and dynamic characters. The intricate plot keeps readers engaged, though some feel the pacing lags in the middle. While praised for its strong female lead and vivid descriptions, a few criticize the romance elements as formulaic. Overall, it’s an enthralling sequel that advances the Grishaverse saga.
Fans of Leigh Bardugo's Siege and Storm typically relish intricate fantasy worlds, strong character development, and high-stakes adventure. Similar readers enjoy Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series and Kristin Cashore's Graceling. This book appeals to those who appreciate dark magic, political intrigue, and complex lore.
