I don’t want to spoil anything major in the first novel for readers who haven’t read the first novel yet. Writing a plot summary for a trilogy is hard when talking about a sequel. And where does Mal fit in all this? It is up to her to figure it all out and stop the Darkling before everything is destroyed. Alina will need to learn to lead and bring change to the empire. With Ravka divided after the Darkling’s plan failed, the Grisha and the first army are in a dire situation. The Darkling pursues another amplifier for Alina with the help of an infamous pirate named Strumhond. A Grisha can only have one amplifer but that rule goes out the window in this novel. Hidden inside a children’s story are images of Morozova’s other amplifiers. Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo book review ![]()

More recently, the novel has been the inspiration for a major film and a Broadway play. The Enchanted April was a best-seller in both England and the United States, where it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and set off a craze for tourism to Portofino. Now, if the same transformation can be worked on their husbands and lovers, the enchantment will be complete. Summary: This slow-paced gem is about the civilizing influence of Italy on beleaguered Londoners both male and female and has its own civilizing influence on. The ladies expect a pleasant holiday, but they don’t anticipate that the month they spend in Portofino will reintroduce them to their true natures and reacquaint them with joy.
