I have had enough of popular book series and me forcing myself to finish them even though I'm having a boring time, is not worth it and I won't go into another reading slump this year because of it.
It actually makes me so angry how I expected greatness from this but it was so average. I guess you can't never 100% trust the popular opinion.
I was so excited at the beginning getting to know them all one by one when their names appeared and I was so ready to see their dynamics and I hoped for a found family, but this was so boring… There was no growth, there was no family, at beast there are duos. Each had ONE personality trait and nothing else, they were not especial and they didn’t have any deep.
This “mission” was so long and boring, pointless in the end.
I learnt my lesson trying to force myself to continue with the second book of Shadow and Bone and I ended up despising it and DNF it, so I won’t force myself with Crooked Kingdom.
This is a 3 ⭐, like it was good? but not excellent at all. I finished this for the sake of it, but I could not care less about what happens to these characters. I have zero interest in continuing with the duology, with the Grishaverse, or with anything new Leigh Bardugo writes.

Moderate: Gun violence, Slavery, Trafficking, and Kidnapping
Minor: Death of parent
- Death / Murder / Blood: There’s a bunch of killings and death.
- Injury: At least half of them are injured at some point.
- Gun violence: Jesper is obsessed with guns.
- Kidnapping / Trafficking: Inej as a kid.
- Slavery: Grisha are slaves.
- Death of parent: The way Kaz describes how his father dies is horrible.
