Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

“Have any of you wondered what I did with all the cash Pekka Rollins gave us?"
"Guns?" asked Jesper.
"Ships?" queried Inej.
"Bombs?" suggested Wylan.
"Political bribes?" offered Nina. They all looked at Matthias. "This is where you tell us how awful we are," she whispered.”


I mean what am I suppose to do now that I'm done with the duology.
This can't be the end right? I need more.
Everyone's story doesn't end here.
There's more to it. IM FRUSTRATED I WANT MORE.
There is no way a person could describe how good this book is.
I love it.
From the first book to the sequel, brilliant.

The pacing of the book was just right.
Every character was so different and nobody was bored.
The relationship between each character is brilliant.
The plans, schemes, suspense just always puts me on edge.

I love how since every character gets a point of view in each chapter, it tells them what they doing currently and brilliantly relate to their past stories.
I find that very interesting to read.
Like you overlap of current and past was amazing.
No story line was hanging in the end, everyone's problems, worries, aims, goals was reach in the end and how it was told is just perfection.

I like how the love lines in this book was told.
Like it was not too much, like not too concentrated on but at the same time it was not too little.
The main aim of the book was to show each character's strength, weakness and their story or character growth, hence the love lines of each character was just told at the right time, right amount and not too cringe, still with humor.

Speaking of the humor, of course I love the humor of the crew.
What is Leigh Bardugo without humor in her books. LOVE IT.

I like how some of the characters in the grisha trilogy was there.
Considering how the book ends, I wonder if you know we can see both world collide.
I SO WANT TO SEE THAT.

I love the story.
I love the books.
I love the characters ( I can't pick which is my fav, probably Jesper and Wylan. Kuwei was so funny at the end... Can we see more of him in the future)
All I can say is... I need more.

P.s Why are this people always eating waffles? Now I want them.


“I would come for you,” he said, and when he saw the wary look she shot him, he said it again. “I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”
