About this eBook

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone - Season 2 streaming now!

The stunning sequel to SIX OF CROWS, this is GAME OF THRONES meets OCEAN'S ELEVEN in a fantasy epic from the number one New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo.


Welcome to the world of the Grisha.

Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives.

Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties.

A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets - a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.

As gripping, sweeping and memorable as the Grisha trilogy - SHADOW AND BONE, SIEGE AND STORM and RUIN AND RISING - this novel is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Laini Taylor, Kristin Cashore and GAME OF THRONES.

Winner of the Teen Choice Book Award for Book of the Year.

The starting of the book is very much connected to that if the first one. This book had a serious of events that are inter-linked. It takes you from one place to another and tells us so much about the characters and the style in which all the characters go around everyday. The amount of intelligence used is inexplicable, especially by Kaz and Inej. The high level of thinking done by the author is truly commendable. I recommend everyone to read this duology. Ps: The only thing i didn't like about this book was the ending. I wanted an epilogue and a more detailed one at that. Spoiler : If you are a tragedy person then sorry to say that this book ends well. (Only taking account of the main characters) The love showcased between Kaz and inej is great!😍😍

This book is filled with non-stop action! Fast-paced than 'SoC' and more in depth plots, it'll blow you out of your mind. The book picks up from the end of the first book without any extra stuff. All the loose ends in the first book is put into place by the end of this one like saving Inej, defeating Van Eck and Rollins with their wits and so on. The ending is satisfying and there is more character depth with mixed emotions. The plans made and executed are highlights here. Only thing I felt was this book was its length which made me skip a few lines in between. Nevertheless, wonderful series.

This is one of those books you finish, put down, then stare aimlessly for hours because it's the end.
