oops i slipped and re-read this for a second time this year. :o- I really enjoyed this re-read! There are so many things that happen in this book that I completely forgot about. I still feel like the oddball with this one though, because I prefer Six of Crows over Crooked Kingdom. It's a great finale, but I feel like there are times when things drag out quite a bit. Regardless, I still love it!
I know we frown upon picking favorite books here, but you know what? This is my favorite book of all time and y'all can leave. Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the

Read 2 | March 2019so my chief thought going into this reread was: maybe if I reread it the ending will be different? And I'm here to say the tYPO of that ending with That Character still remains and i am a mess. Also I actually remembered so so little of this, so the reread was basically like reading something fresh. I missed my dregs. I loved getting wrapped in the harsh details, the wanting, the found-family, the hope and betrayal and wickedly clever schemes. Kaz's schemes within schemesw wer...
(3.75?) I have such a complicated relationship with this duology.I WANT to love it. I do care about the characters but not nearly as much as the Fandom seems to.I wish there was more about the magic system which was my favorite part in the Grisha trilogy and is sadly lacking in here. I still think things seem so easy for Kaz, that he seems to be able to plan elaborate plans to double-cross everyone in a matter of second...(view spoiler)[I'm very mad about Matthias dying. It felt like an aftertho...
Review/discussion: https://youtu.be/aFX-hrVHFusMy favourite part of reading this was that as I took review notes every time I wrote Kaz it autocorrected to Kazoo This freaking book oh my goodness. I LOVED IT, even more than the first one actually. I adore this characters and I must see them again. A Nina spin off perhaps? YES PLEASE.
UPDATE: it worked! ....I recommend you put your palm on the page, say (very resolutely) "not today, satan" and linger eternally in the Denial stage of grief. Me: *opens my French copy of Crooked Kingdom and begins reading*Me, still in denial: hey maybe in French nothing bad happens to [redacted]
This might be my favorite book of all time. It’s heart wrenching and funny and well rounded and beautiful. The development and emotional journeys of all the characters are amazing. I was a sobbing mess by the end of this book and my heart felt heavy for hours afterward. (It is the next day and I'm still very emotionally frayed.)
UGHHHHH I NEEEEDDD MORRRREEEEEE
HOW DARE YOU LEIGH
COMPLETELY SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:First thing first, meet Kaz Brekker's crew:5 REASONS WHY CROOKED KINGDOM IS THE BEST SEQUEL EVER#1 Storytelling at its bestThis book will literally keep you on the edge of your seat, your toes curling and your heart racing. There was not a single boring moment. On contrary! I flew through this book and wish it was even longer than 546 pages.#2 Parade of twistsLeigh Bardugo is a genius. I can't even count how many times during this book I thought "No way! I didn't s...
LEIGH BARDUGO IS A RELENTLESS DEMJIN!!! This was my first thought when I finished to read “Crooked Kingdom” and after thinking about it, I decided to leave it at that! It’s true! This amazing woman gave me all the feels and played me like a fiddle! There were so many twists and turns that my head actually started to spin and whenever I thought something would be alright, everything, literally everything changed once again! How did you do this Leigh? How can you be such a talented manipula
"Better terrible truths than kind lies." Wow! Just wow! Here, I was thinking it couldn't get better than Six of Crows. I mean, you wouldn't expect it to, after the flawless SoC, and boy was I wrong! This is the best sequel of all time. This is incredible. Magnificent. Phenomenal. There aren't enough words. This is the kind of book that makes you feel like there aren't enough stars to give a proper rating. "Bad situations happen to be my area of expertise." The main plot is as thrilling and
*heaves deep breath in*Where do I even begin? Leigh friggin' Bardugo. You really, truly outdid yourself with this one. Never in my life have I been more severely anxious over a novel than this right here— would it live up to the hype's madness? Could it surpass the sheer awesomeness that was Six of Crows? Will anything ever compare? Was I just digging my own grave of unfulfilled hopes and dreams like this?Yes, yes, yes and NO, thank the Saints (or well, Inej will).Crooked Kingdom is one of those...
