Crooked Kingdom Review

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5

📚Synopsis:

With one job not going to plan, a captured scientist, and a missing Wraith, everybody didn’t come out of the job richer than expected. Now, it’s time for revenge for the double cross. With powerful forces and countries coming to Ketterdam, Kaz and the crew need to figure out how to set things right.

✨What I liked about this book:

-It was a longer book, at 546 pages. It had time to let things build tension and really work on the story.

-It had a variety of relationships displayed and all felt unique and well thought out.

-The twists and turns left me wondering what was going to happen next

-Even the side characters had importance and growth.

-This book gave me both happy and sad tears.

-I loved that we kept the multiple perspectives.

Book Review - Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

“No mourners.” “No funerals.” At first I didn’t think this was going to be a 5 star rating, but I came to realize how much I appreciate Leigh Bardugo’s writing style. She’s clever and kept the plot twists coming. This book in the end was awesome. The world building continued from the first book

Finished Crooked Kingdom

Crooked Kingdom, along with the first of it’s series Six of Crows, was such an amazing book! It was difficult for me to set down. I fell in love with the characters immediately, along with the city of Ketterdam. I found this series to be much more entertaining and enriching than the Shadow and Bone
