Hey, guys! After reading the majesty that was Six of Crows, I couldn't wait to read Crooked Kingdom, the second and final book in this series. This is one of my favorites of the year, for sure!
The Cover:
The Cover:
It shows a crow mid-flight from underneath. The cover of Six of Crows was similar but with a sideview of the crow. I like the continued theme, and I think crows work well as covers for this series. A+ cover
Official Description:
Welcome to the world of the Grisha.
After pulling off a seemingly impossible heist in the notorious Ice Court, criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker feels unstoppable. But life is about to take a dangerous turn - and with friends who are among the deadliest outcasts in Ketterdam city, Kaz is going to need more than luck to survive in this unforgiving underworld.
My Review:
This is definitely one of those books where any detailed description will ruin parts of the book. Really, all you need to know is that Crooked Kingdom picks up right where Six of Crows leaves off.
Crooked Kingdom is very similar to Six of Crows in style and generic story-telling. If anything, the characters are more developed in this book. If you liked Six of Crows, you are sure to love Crooked Kingdom.
The characters are even more interesting than they were in the first book. Instead of just establishing a backstory, each character had time to develop more. Really, all of the characters in this series are just incredibly interesting to learn about. I would read an entire book about each of these character's backstories and lives before and after this series.
The plot remained just as action packed, full of clever plans and surprising plot twists. It might have even been more exciting with all of the double-crossing throughout the book!
Overall, it is the perfect sequel/conclusion to Six of Crows. I wish there were more books. I would read another five books set in this world, I loved it so much. After reading this, I'm going to have to read all of Leigh Bardugo's older books.
