Siege and Storm

I read Shadow and Bone before watching the Netflix series. I enjoyed the book well enough, but thought the series improved on it a lot (especially Mal and Alina as characters), and got me more excited to keep going with the book series.

Here's an extract from my conversation with Camille, one of my best book buddies.

ME: UUUUGGGGHHHHH
ME: Book Mal is so dumb.
ME: Book Alina is so beige.
ME: I'd rather read a prequel about SpoilerNikolai, Tamar, and Tolya on the Volkvolny.

CAM: Noooooooo I'm sorry that you're so stuck on it!!
CAM: I seriously still have no memory of the sequels, so they must have been so beige as to not leave an imprint
