Crooked Kingdom

meagan_khatthaname shared a tip "I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one (Six of Crows), but still loved it. I just love the way she writes her characters."

l.h.k. shared a tip "ugh the entire dynamic of this duology made my heart cry i love leigh sm and the crows make me🥺🥺🥺 (this is on my list because of a canonically bisexual character, and a gay (mlm) relationship.) read this duology rn what are you doing"

book_nerd09 shared a tip "Very good book! I didn’t love it as much as Six of Crows, but it was still an amazing read! There is some mild language, as well as some mentions of a girl’s PTSD from having to work in a brothel, and although there are no explicit details, it is still briefly discussed and could be triggering. Other than that, I loved this book! Amazing characters, and I loved the relationships between all of them, sort of as a found family. The humour in this book adds to the story, without being distracting!"

cate_1830 shared a tip "The different POVs and the intricate heists are unbelievably written that no part of this book is predictable. It’s hard to fathom Kaz and his crew are teenagers with the abilities the characters possess."

addie_wennekamp shared a tip "Same perfect in their imperfects characters plus more. Diving deeper into love interests and some LGBTQ that leave you in happy tears"

tiredbitchhours shared a tip "The second book to the Six of crows series!! (See my input on the series on the first book) #crookedkingdom #sixofcrows #leighbardugo #lgbtq"

meagan_welton shared a tip "Absolutely amazing!! 🤩 I was on the edge of my seat the entire book! The first book focuses on one big heist and this one has many heists wrapped into one. Brilliantly and cleverly written heists. I didn't love how some of the romance scenes/stories were written but that's my only complaint. Fantastic story!! Worth a reread 👏🏼 👌🏻"

idkwhy shared a tip "these books are everything and so worth the read. u just wanna read em again and again and again until u remember every little bit of these two books"

aspen_d shared a tip "This book will always have a special place in my heart. From the characters to the world, this story is one of a kind. So much actions yet filled with quiet reflective moments. You will never regret reading it! <3"

tirzah_figueroa shared a tip "I saw shadow and bone on Netflix I think and didn't realize it was based on the same books except I couldn't figure out if it was before or after this series. Needless to say I'm in the middle of the Shadow and Bone series. Of course, I'm breaking my rule about reading the books too close to watching the movie or the TV series. I like to space it out long enough to avoid being biased. It sometimes works."

alyssa_lower shared a tip "I know that Leigh Bardugo has some other books that are set in the same universe as this one! I’m just about to start the Grisha Trilogy :)"

laura_scoggins shared a tip "I loved every twist and turn this book brought. Kept you on your toes. You never know what is coming. Characters are amazing. Story is amazing."

morgan_perdziak shared a tip "This book brought me a whole world of pain that I can’t even describe. I cried for over an hour and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover"

alison_free shared a tip "Did I like it better??.. hmm.. it's a true continuation.. I gave them both 5* on Goodreads. I devoured both and I adore the Grishaverse. I liked this better than Shadow and Bone I think because I loved the Crows. I usually get very invested in characters and how much the author makes me feel for them. Leigh is a skilled author. I liked these better than the King of Scars but that was a cool book too."

nic_.d shared a tip "Mexican Gothic was a great one. Although it's more supernatural thriller rather than fantasy, it was still a fun read with crazy twists."

billy_fung shared a tip "The thrilling sequel to six of crows. Leigh Bardugo's delivery of fantasy and action will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended."

holly_ayers shared a tip "Np! Crooked Kingdom is my favorite book by Leigh Bardugo, especially within the Grishaverse. The Grishaverse has an upcoming Netflix series called Shadow and Bone that's premiering on the 23rd, if you didn't know."

mlanie_p shared a tip "If you want emotions, this is the book for you. A great ending to a great story, with even better characters. #soc #grishaverse #crookedkingdom"

a_bookish_gal shared a tip "Absolutely. These are some of my favourite books. They also have amazing representation, and I recommend other works by Leigh Bardugo as well."

hermione_tano shared a tip "This doulogy is my absolute favorite! It has amazing characters, each with a captivating backstory. Their chemistry and dialogue is very fun to read. The heist that play in motion have you captivated till the last word. A great fantasy/fiction book. One of my absolute favorites. #fantasy #fiction #magic #foundfamily #ships #romance #heist #adventure"

alyssa_kantilla shared a tip "I read this and I had no context for the series and I only just found now it was part of a series. I read the first book and this, but at different times."

emily_6345 shared a tip "I liked the characters but the plot was extremely slow for me. Once the plot would begin to advance it would cut off to another pov and have 4 chapters of random in depth back story before getting back to the main plot. All the other grishaverse books took me less than a week this one took me a month. Reading it became a chore."

katherine_2302 shared a tip "I’m almost finished with the legend series, 50 pages left in Champion, and it’s definitely one of the best things I’ve ever read. I would definitely recommend it"

rj_chase shared a tip "So far I think that Cinder by Marissa Meyers (and the rest in that series), and Six of Crows are my top two at the moment. Cinder is directed to a bit of a younger audience though."

anna_9701 shared a tip "It’s not often that I love a second book of a series just as much as I loved the first, but this may have been even better than the first. Character development was magnificent. I could read so much more of these characters."

emma_bowen_2988 shared a tip "This duology and the shadow and bone books are so well written. The crooked kingdom gives you a true perspective of ketterdam as you see tension come up between all of the characters. This book depicts love and an enemies to lovers trope you will route for until the end. I totally recommend for lovers of enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers and lovers of well explained criminal books. I legit learned how to steal a man’s wallet from this!"

savannah_dittman_9383 shared a tip "Absolutely everything that makes up a good story. Fall in love with Ketterdam and even more deeply with our ragtag band of misfits."
