Kaz Brekker and his crew 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.

Life Updates (and other things)

life
it's been so long since i last write a monthly recap post, that i don't know where to start. basically, senior year has been super hectic. i didn't have much time to study and sleep, let alone to blog. in addition to that, since it's last year of high school, there had been many activities that i had to participate so i'm often dead tired by the time i got home. but anyway, now that senior year is over, i proudly say that I'M BACK. not really sure what i'm going to post (beside reviews) since it's been so long, but i'm still excited nevertheless. earlier today i just updated some parts of my blog (sidebar + about page, which is long overdue), and it motivated me to blog again. i'm planning to write more lifestyle posts, especially about travelling, but don't worry, it's still mainly about books. i'm also thinking of changing my blog's theme, perhaps? let's just see since i got 3+ months of holiday before college starts!
