After the amazing first book of the duology, (and a very frustrating cliff-hanger 😂) Crooked Kingdom is an awesome closure to the series.
The plot is full of twists and turn that make your gut twist, and the characters develop in their understanding and beliefs about themselves and the world around them.
If you enjoyed Six of Crows you MUST 100% read Crooked Kingdom (in my opinion even slightly better than the first book!)

Yeah...no.

At least now I know to avoid this author.


(Inej is, and always will be, the only good appreciable character in this book)


/ Ouais... non.

Au moins maintenant je sais qu'il faut éviter cet auteur.


(Inej est, et sera toujours, le seul bon personnage appréciable de ce livre)

The bromance was probably what officially ruined it for me.
