Siege and Storm

Best boy Nikolai ❤️
Thought the drama between Mal and Alina would have been worse. Then I reached that second half of the book and it really was. Nikolai is a lovely addition to the cast of characters, though I find Alina's affinity to just ignore her problems with Mal for the sake of a moment of fun with Nikolai else very annoying. Especially when Nikolai's charming character makes him feel like such a good fit for a love-interest. Oh well. I guess we can't have it all.
It's a quick read and though politics take up a fair amount of this book, I was really enjoying and the different settings we were in. It was nice to have the dynamics that come with new scenery. And again, Nikolai is just 👌🏻😍
