Buckle up because we're entering Grisha territory by talking about the Shadow & Bone trilogy created by author Leigh Bardugo. This week Kaeyla opens up Ruin & Rising and extracts inspiration and encouragement from a beautiful scene between Nikolai Lantsov and Alina Starkov. For those who are familiar, Nikolai is deeply loved by the Shadow and Bones community and any hint of him in the books is one worth talking about. The encouragement and inspiration drawn from this scene is something you don't want to miss on this weeks episode - so make yourself an ice vanilla latte (with almond milk), sit back, and open yourself up to world where fantasy meets reality!
