It has met its match. Seriously. 

READ SHADOW AND BONE. And then? READ SIEGE AND STORM. 

You will thank me later.

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

    There's a new Demonica book out, which I'm debating.  I can't tell if I need to finish the Lords of Deliverance series in order to have it make sense though.

    Agreed!

    I have The Warrior Heir, and I really want to read it, but then I know it won't be Seven Realms and I just can't handle the disappointment. I loved the Seven Realms series SO HARD. 

    The Grisha books are right up there as well. Not quite SR, but still so very good.

    I think that's because there are only two out. When I compare Shadow and Bone to The Demon King, Shadow and Bone wins. When I compare Siege and Storm to The Exiled Queen, I think they're about neck and neck.

    And honestly, I think the writing in the Grisha series is phenomenal. Some of the imagery in the Grisha series completely blew me away and I don't remember that happening while reading SR.

    You make a good point. Ugh, I can't wait to read the next book! Like, I can't wait. I may have to raid her publishing house. Or demand an ARC in some unrefusable manner. Unfortunately, I'm not a very good terrorist.
