Stephanie Sinclair
Kat Kennedy and I are here with the amazing Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone and Siege and Storm for an interview. Possible shenanigans ahead, folks.

Kat Kennedy
The good kind.

Stephanie Sinclair
Is there a such thing as bad shenanigans?

Leigh Bardugo
And what would be the point of good shenanigans?

Kat Kennedy
I meant the ENJOYABLE kind. Clearly you guys have never been out drinking with me.

Leigh Bardugo
(Also, I just typed “shenanigans” like a boss.)

Kat Kennedy
You did. You totally did.
So we’re basically here to talk about your new book, Siege and Storm, and how awesome it is.

Leigh Bardugo
This pleases me.

Stephanie Sinclair
So Kat and I have written a pretty epic fan fic for Shadow and Bone.
It’s pretty epic.

Leigh Bardugo
Oh good gravy.

Stephanie Sinclair
Lots of smoochies.

Kat Kennedy
Because, little known fact, Steph and I are massive Fanfiction fans.

Leigh Bardugo
Are you really?

Kat Kennedy
Oh, hell yeah.

Stephanie Sinclair
Yup.

Leigh Bardugo
What fics do you read??

Kat Kennedy
I won’t break out my Harry Potter fanfics because, duh, major embarrassment.
But Steph reads 50 Shades of Grey fanfics.

Stephanie Sinclair
For teh LOLZ.

Leigh Bardugo
I… wait… that’s so meta.

Kat Kennedy
I know, right?

Leigh Bardugo
“In this version, Christian is a vampire”.
I’m pretty sure that could create a wormhole.

Kat Kennedy
Punches a hole big enough in for Voyager to reach the delta quadrant.

Stephanie Sinclair
Bahahaha!

Leigh Bardugo
Wait, “wormhole” takes on totally new meaning in the context of FSoG.
I’m going to get in trouble here, aren’t I?

Kat Kennedy
Never.
You don’t get in trouble for being awesome on Cuddlebuggery.
We’d rather shut the site down first.

Stephanie Sinclair
I have emailed this epic fic to Leigh and she has never seen it. I am preparing for her to clutch her chest at the feels.

Kat Kennedy
I personally think it’s pretty impressive.

Leigh Bardugo
Omg, even the title.
Just received it.

Kat Kennedy
But what we’re going to do, Leigh, is get you to critique three sections of it for our readers.
They, of course, will be able to read the whole thing for themselves – in all its glory.

Stephanie Sinclair
Blood, sweat and tears went into this production of A Darkling Ever After.

Kat Kennedy
Maybe a little lube too…

Leigh Bardugo
Ok, should I wait to open it?
This is like Christmas but with less crying.
Omg, Kat, where the hell is this going?

Stephanie Sinclair
Dark places.

Kat Kennedy
Into awesome territory, I hope.

Leigh Bardugo
Should I read?? I can’t take the suspense!

Kat Kennedy
Go ahead and read.

Stephanie Sinclair
Yes! Read on!

Kat Kennedy
We’ll wait for you.

Leigh Bardugo
Oh holy good gravy.

Stephanie Sinclair
Sorry, no Ivan/bucket smoochies.

Kat Kennedy
Goddamnit! I knew we forgot something!

Leigh Bardugo
I seriously do not know how to proceed.

Stephanie Sinclair
Did you finish?

Kat Kennedy
I don’t know if that’s a good sign or a bad one.

Stephanie Sinclair
Are you awaiting the sequel with bated breath?

Leigh Bardugo
No, I just got to the Darkling raising his hand lol.

Kat Kennedy
Oh. Keep going. PLEASE.

Leigh Bardugo
You used THE SENTENCE!!
“He released a breath he didn’t know he was holding”.

Stephanie Sinclair
The evil sentence! Muhahaha!

Kat Kennedy
That was all Steph. She just HAD to use it.

Stephanie Sinclair
It begged me.

Leigh Bardugo
What the hell is whisper yelling? Is that a thing?

Kat Kennedy
I don’t know. But I have read it in SO many YA novels.

Stephanie Sinclair
In YA novels it exists.

Kat Kennedy
Everyone seems to be whisper-yelling all over the place.

ST Spock Kirk by Mkb-Diapason

Image credit: Mkb-Diapason

Leigh Bardugo
I’ve never come across it. Also do dudes get pregnant in fanfic? Is this a thing?
I feel like I’m learning so much.

Kat Kennedy
Oh mpreg? hella yeah, that’s a massive subgenre in fanfic verse.

Stephanie Sinclair
Anything is possible.

Kat Kennedy
I, personally, think the Kirk/Spock mpregs are the cutest.

Leigh Bardugo
Ahahahaha “future best night of my life”.
Oh daaaamn. “you can call me the competition” now that’s a good burn. Hat’s off!

Kat Kennedy
We thought it was in keeping with his personality.

Leigh Bardugo
And always end on a pun. That’s how I try to close out every scene.

Kat Kennedy
*Writes that down* What other advice do you have for us, oh awesome one?

Stephanie Sinclair
I predict that he will blow everyone’s little socks off in Siege and Storm.
Darkling who?

Kat Kennedy
Shhhh. No spoilers, Steph!

Leigh Bardugo
Well, guys, here’s the thing. I’ve been looking forward to reading this fic for a long time.
But it just didn’t live up to the hype.
I mean, ANOTHER love triangle?

Kat Kennedy
Aw! Sadface!
And we tried so hard for you, Leigh.

Stephanie Sinclair
Who doesn’t love options, Leigh?!

Leigh Bardugo
Sigh. At least there was no instalove.

Stephanie Sinclair
It was well developed over… torture. But we need your critiques to perfect our craft.

Kat Kennedy
Well, maybe we can give you some options to critique for us so we can do better next time.

Leigh Bardugo
You know I kid because I love.
The fic was great.
Twists, turns, surprise pregnancies, a love rhombus.
It was like Game of Thrones. It just needed more boobs and beheadings.

Stephanie Sinclair
Except with no nipples.

Leigh Bardugo
That’s like a day without sunshine.

Kat Kennedy
Oh, that all comes in A Darkling and Stormhound Night.

Leigh Bardugo
Okay, so do you really want me to go through from the start and critique. I’m so confused! And delighted! And confused!

Kat Kennedy
Nope. Just a few, brief, portions.
Sorry to confuse you, precious!
We’re not going to make you critique it ALL.

Stephanie Sinclair
Our first section:

Grisha Fan Fic section 1

Leigh Bardugo
Okay, section one!

Stephanie Sinclair
Alina has just found the two lovers and is shocked. We weren’t entirely sure we got Darkling perfect, but we needed to show a different side of him.

Leigh Bardugo
Well, I’d definitely say that you’ve taken a different tact with the Darkling. Seems to me he’d be the one to just face the truth and use it as opposed to attempting a clumsy defense.
After all, he’s a master of reading situations and using them to his advantage.

Kat Kennedy
Yes, he does like to use Mal to his advantage…

Stephanie Sinclair
His many advantages…

Leigh Bardugo
*Shakes head*
Y’know, I always said I wouldn’t have arrived until I got my first slashfic.
I’m a little emotional, guys.

Stephanie Sinclair
Scratch that off on your list.

Kat Kennedy
Congrats, Leigh.
You’ve ARRIVE!
ARRIVED*

Leigh Bardugo
I like it better “you’ve arrive!” it seems more appropriate. Also, I’m digging this dungeon sequence. calls for a flashback.

Kat Kennedy
Shhhhh! You’re not supposed to draw attention to my typos!

Stephanie Sinclair
Now we have to keep YOUR shame in the chat.
Loving this moment.

Kat Kennedy
I fix those up behind the scenes so that people think we’re all professional and shit.

Stephanie Sinclair
Sure, sure.
Section two has teh smooches:

Grisha Fan Fic Section 2

Leigh Bardugo
The sentence! I have used the sentence and I will use it again. WITHOUT SHAME.

Stephanie Sinclair
I remember that in Siege and Storm!
I giggle every time I see it.

Kat Kennedy
Wear it proudly, Leigh!
Wear it proudly!

Leigh Bardugo
I don’t know about these pet names, guys.
Mal-mal? Is that like Ron-Ron?
Or Jar-Jar?

Kat Kennedy
We played with Malicious
As in – Mal is DElicious.

Leigh Bardugo
Ohhh MALICIOUS.
Cuz then it’s wordplay.
And everyone loves wordplay.

Kat Kennedy
Exactly!

Stephanie Sinclair
He be working on his fitness.

Leigh Bardugo
Omg. He my witness.

Stephanie Sinclair
His body stay vicious.

Leigh Bardugo
Oooh weeee.

Kat Kennedy
I wouldn’t trade him for Patricious—no, I lost it.

Stephanie Sinclair
No wonder Darkling couldn’t resist him.

Leigh Bardugo
Yeah, I’m not sure I like sappy Darkling.

Kat Kennedy
Awwww!
But he’s so cute!
It’s like Mal brings out his best side.

Leigh Bardugo
Yeah, very cute. More like the Dumpling. Or the Dorkling.

Stephanie Sinclair
And did you see the fire between him and Mal?

Leigh Bardugo
LOL
The fiyah!

Kat Kennedy
The Duckling

Leigh Bardugo
That’s dangerous.

Kat Kennedy
The Dimpling.

Stephanie Sinclair
Darkwing Duck.
Let’s get dangerous!

Kat Kennedy
Okay, let’s move onto the third one.

Grisha Fan Fic Section 3

Kat Kennedy

To me, this is the most romantic scene.

Stephanie Sinclair
I like to think of this as the “Almost Kumbaya Moment”.
Alina is so close to busting out her guitar.
Lighting a campfire.

Leigh Bardugo
Clearly, I need to read more fanfic, because this whole dude pregnancy thing is throwing me for a loop.

Kat Kennedy
I could recommend some great ones for you!

Leigh Bardugo
At the risk of getting graphic… um, how do they get the baby out?

Kat Kennedy
SHHHHHH. That’s the magic of mpreg.
You don’t ask such things.

Stephanie Sinclair
The same way Edward got the baby out of Bella.

Leigh Bardugo
O_O

Stephanie Sinclair
With his TEETH.

Kat Kennedy
Steph. There’s wrong and then there’s WRONG.

Stephanie Sinclair
You’re welcome.

Kat Kennedy
Go to your room!

Leigh Bardugo
What has been seen cannot be unseen

Stephanie Sinclair
No, MOM.

little rascals

Leigh Bardugo
So you really think all it would take is an unplanned pregnancy to bring about world peace?
WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DOES THIS SEND TO YOUNG GIRLS?

Kat Kennedy
THE BEST KIND!
Um, well, The Darkling was being so cute.

Stephanie Sinclair
Make Love, don’t fight?

Kat Kennedy
I couldn’t help myself but go for a cute resolution!
IT’S IN MY BLOOD!

Stephanie Sinclair
So, did you encounter many difficulties this time around with writing book two?

Leigh Bardugo
Are we transitioning to serious talk?
Because I’m still reeling from the Twilight/Shadow and Bone mashup.

Kat Kennedy
*Bashes head against keyboard*

Stephanie Sinclair
We are attempting to be professional.
For once.

Leigh Bardugo
Writing book 2 was INTENSE.

Kat Kennedy
Intense good or intense bad or a feeling somewhere in between?
I’ve heard a lot of authors say Book 2 is harder than book 1.

Leigh Bardugo
It was easily the toughest of the books to write. Book 3 was the most emotional, but I had a lot more faith in my process by then.

Kat Kennedy
This is us being series.
serious*. Fuck.

Leigh Bardugo
*Snort*siriusly

Stephanie Sinclair
Siriusly?

Kat Kennedy
Shut up!

Leigh Bardugo
Fir sirius.

Kat Kennedy
Now I have to leave these typos in!

Leigh Bardugo
Ahahahahaha.

Kat Kennedy
Laughing so hard right now.
goddamn1.

Leigh Bardugo
One what??

Stephanie Sinclair
And the “1”.

Kat Kennedy
Nooooooo.
You guys are killing me. KILLING ME.

Leigh Bardugo
I feel like Kat may need a hug.

Stephanie Sinclair
*No editing will be done to this interview.*

Kat Kennedy
Okay, so you’re saying Book III is already done?
So if, say, some enterprising individuals were to break into your house Mission Impossible style, they could steal it?

Stephanie Sinclair
And that we can haz it noaw?

Leigh Bardugo
AHEM. The first draft is done and turned in. Trust me, you don’t want it in its current state.

Kat Kennedy
Oh FINE!

Leigh Bardugo
Also, I have trained hellhounds on duty.

Stephanie Sinclair
And mind bullets.

Leigh Bardugo
Hee! Indeed.

Kat Kennedy
I wouldn’t expect any less from you, Leigh.
Okay, we have one more question for you, Leigh, and then we shall release you from our fungeon.

Leigh Bardugo
Fungeon! Wordplay!

Stephanie Sinclair
Well, we thought Siege and Storm was brilliant, better than the first. How has the early reviewer reaction to Siege and Storm been for you?
Did you expect the the loveliest?
lovefest*

Kat Kennedy
Ha! Loveliest Steph? What the hell does that mean?
Oh! Wait, was that a typo?

Stephanie Sinclair
GAH! Damn YOU!

Kat Kennedy
Guess we’ll have to leave it in now.
Sorry, Leigh, proceed.

Stephanie Sinclair
I hate you so much right now.

Leigh Bardugo
I’d love to meet an author who “expects” a lovefest. (Even the least lovely lovefest.) I don’t know about everyone else, but I spend a lot of time wallowing in self doubt.
Great for the skin, you know.

Stephanie Sinclair
I can only image the pressure.

Leigh Bardugo
I’m proud of Siege and I actually do think it’s better than Shadow and Bone, but it wasn’t any less scary to put it out in the world.

Kat Kennedy
I feel like throwing you a lovefest.

Leigh Bardugo
With cookies? And a pinata?

Kat Kennedy
YES.

Stephanie Sinclair
And cake.

Leigh Bardugo
I LOVE pinatas. Seriously.
I wish they were at all parties.

Kat Kennedy
It’s not a party unless there’s a pinata. Seriously.

Stephanie Sinclair
It’s going to be at Darkling and Mal’s wedding.

Leigh Bardugo
Maybe you could work one into the sequel.

Kat Kennedy
Well, thank you so much for coming and talking with us today, Leigh.

Leigh Bardugo
Guys, I can truly say this was one of the most hilarious and disturbing moments of my life.

Stephanie Sinclair
Success!

Kat Kennedy
I think that’s a win, Steph.
If we don’t seriously disturb our guests at least once, then we feel like we’ve failed them.

Book Trailer | Read First 5 Chapters

Darkness never dies.

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. But she can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her–or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

    Twitter:

    I would crawl across sunlight shattered glass to get a copy of Siege and Storm in my ninja-grabby hands. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Now that I’ve read this interview and the full version of your hilarious fanfic, I’m inspired to render my own version. Thank you for the chance, and the abundance of shenanigans. Your interview left me…moist.

  31. Dayloro

    Sadly I haven’t gotten to read Shadow & Bone yet. I had it rented from the library a few times but at the time I had over 25 book out and it was only a week rental & I forgot to read it before it was due back (its been reserved every since *sigh*)This would be an awesome contest to win! I’v been dying to read these!

    June 4th is it here yet??…Is it here YET???….IS IT HERE YET???????  It’s a good thing you two are here to keep me periodically entertained or I would have chewed off my nails and pulled out my hair in fits of anxious anticipation by now. Loved the Fanfic and the interview!

  35. Kamla L,

    I am beyond excited for SIEGE AND STORM. I’ve been itching to get my hands on it since I turned the last page of SHADOW AND BONE. 🙂

  37. Victoria

    HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIZ I AM ABOUT TO DIE I AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS (just a week now!!) I HAVE READ SHADOW AND BONE 7 TIMES NOW AND LENT IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND YANK IT BACK WHEN THEY TAKE TOO LONG AND I MISS ITS BEAUTY.

  38. fox21az

    Super Duper Extremely Excited!!! LOVED the first book.

  39. Cali Willette

    I cannot contain my excitment for the book!! Thanks for the giveaway and the interview is great! <3

  40. Ashley S

    I cannot believe I waited so long to read Shadow and Bone, but I absolutely could not put it down!  I cannot wait for Siege and Storm!  Thanks for the giveaway and the great (and very funny) author interview!

  41. hmbryan

    Ahh, I always get such a kick out of reading y’all’s author interviews!! Between this one with Leigh and the recent one with Mr. Kristoff, my husband now thinks I’m demented after watching me cackle at my little screen on my phone while trying not to pee my pants! Good times, good times. Oh, and I just might pay money for some fanfic where Mal and The Darkling get hitched.

  42. Asma

    Shadow and Bone was just pure awesomeness. Dying for Siege and Storm. *whispers silently* “let the Darkling have a happily ever after”

  43. leannessf

    Super excited!  Hilarious interview!  
    Thanks so much for the giveaway!
    Leanne 🙂

  44. JeepinJaime

    Very. I really enjoyed Shadow & Bone, but I wasn’t quite as blown away with it as most people. I think maybe I was in the wrong kind of mood for it, because usually it would have been a “blown away” moment. So I am looking forward to Siege & Storm because I get to reread S & B and hopefully make up for last time. Thank you so much for the giveaway!
