It's too bad I read this book when my focus was all over the place, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. After finishing Six of Crows I just couldn't wait to meet these characters again and they definitely have my heart now. Crooked Kingdom is the perfect continuation of volume one, pushing the stakes higher as Kaz's crew fight not only for their job but also for what they hold most dear. This book is action-packed, but it also knows how to slither into one's heart and break it. Yes, I shed a tear. Yes, it had been a long time.
Rep: gay characters, aspec characters, disabled character, Black and Asian characters.
