The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series
Crooked Kingdom the highly anticipated sequel to Leigh Bardugo's thrilling #1 New York Times-bestselling Six of Crows.
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets--a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.

loved it all
Emily L. - 5 years 7 months ago“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, as no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together —- knives draw, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.” I think my favorite thing about this book/ duology, is probably the relationships between all the characters. & the scheming plot full of twist and turns. It causes you to not believe everything you see and hear. It makes you have patience and trust the process as some would say. Lol. I really want to talk about the characters, beginning w Inej. She said this quote in the book and it’s probably my favorite line of hers. “She would fight for him, but she could no heal him. She would not waste her life trying.” I feel like throughout both books it’s clear how mentally mature Inej is. I remember after finish SOC, me and my friend were saying that out of everyone Inej had the least character development, most likely due to the fact that she didn’t need much. Lol which isn’t a bad thing in her case at all. It’s just so common in YA books especially, that the main female protagonist ends up obsessing over “fixing” the bad boy who has a good heart. Here Inej knows her worth and she is aware of Kaz’s strength. She knows that isn’t her job and that if he really wanted to, he would conquer his past in his own pace and time. AND HER ENDING I CRIED. I WISH HAPPINESS ON HER AND KAZ TILL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. I could read a book of their adventures all day long. Okay Kaz next!!! What can I say, he’s great lol he literally never fails to amaze me. I appreciate that his ending didn’t come wrapped in a pretty package w a bow on top. It’s clear that he has a long way to go but I know he can do it 🥺 plus it’s literally so clear how much he cares about others in this book, I loved it. his mind > WYLANS GROWTH. That’s all. That’s the tweet. Lol I loved Wylan, & getting to learn more about his past and just his thoughts!!!! When he starting talking about what he learned from the rest of the crew, 🥺 I cried. I cried a lot during this book if you haven’t noticed lol Jesper! I actually really loved Jespers pov’s in the second book more. I feel like you could really hear what he thought about others and situations. I also really appreciated the aspect of him and his father. Nina!!!!!!!! Nina NINA NINA!!! She’s definitely one of my favorite characters. I just think she is so STRONG. Mentally and physically. She has such a kind heart and I loved seeing her interact w Kuwei & ofc Matthias 🥺 couple of the year in my opinion 😡 SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST MY MAN MATTHIAS!!!! Truth is I saw so many spoilers for the book lol which is mostly my fault, but that doesn’t mean my heart doesn’t ACHE any less. For some reason I really connected to him, & I really appreciated his growth as a person. His constantly trying to change his mindset when dealing w Grisha, was really interesting to read. I just loved him. His attachment to Nina LITERALLY GOALS IM SORRY I LOVE THEM BOTH THEY DESERVED HAPPINESS AND LOVE AND LONG LIVES 🥺 I have no more thoughts, head empty. Go read this for some emotional instability #SpringPicks

make sure you have tissues handy!!
Jinelle S. - 5 years 7 months agoReview #74940818083081 of me fangirling over Leigh Bardugo's writing. Just to start things off, I LOVE THE CROWS SO MUCH. And the character development, oh my gosh. (Kaz? Matthias? WYLAN? It was all immaculate.) I love how by the end of Crooked Kingdom the crows had become a sort of "found family" and how you could see how strong everyone's relationships had become, whether it be romantic or platonic (but oh my gosh I would give my life for Kanej...the slowburn). I love how rather than just play it off, Leigh Bardugo really dives into the mental health of each of the crows. We get to see how Wylan deals with his dyslexia, Jesper deals with (what I assume is) his ADHD and gambling addiction, and how Kaz and Inej both deal with their PTSD. It was really refreshing to see Bardugo allow her characters to grow rather than just brushing off their struggles. This book quickly became one of my favorite books of all time and I am so excited to see what Leigh Bardugo will do with Six of Crows #3! #SpringPicks

Crooked Kingdom
Savannah G. - 5 years 7 months agoAfter reading Six of Crows, I was ready to be disappointed with the ending of the duology- the series had started off so strong that I believed it was too good to be true. Yet, I was proven wrong by Crooked Kingdom. Leigh Bardugo wraps up the SOC duology with even stronger worldbuilding and character development than she was able to achieve in the previous book. I truly believe SOC has some of the most fleshed-out characters the YA fantasy genre has seen in the past ten years. The plot progresses fantastically, every conflict being paired with a well-thought-out solution. Kaz Brekker's lifelong plan for revenge unfolds in a suspenseful manner that left me unable to stop reading. I laughed, I cried, and I even screamed in frustration. I couldn't recommend this book enough! #SpringPicks
