I wish I could give this book ten stars. I thought the original Shadow & Bone trilogy was so mid and more than a little infuriating but this was absolutely incredible! Immediately starting Crooked Kingdom!

It was amazing! There are a lot of flashbacks and that made it hard for me to discern the present time vs. a flashback. The world building is incredible! This book is definitely a new favorite.

Really excellent young-adult book.  I'd compare it, in tone and world building level/type, to the Hunger Games trilogy.  The heist was very well executed and described--despite being quite complex, I was able to follow it the whole way, and the author manages to write an extremely intelligent/canny character as believably intelligent and canny.  That is a difficult thing to pull off!  Finally--I didn't hate any of the characters or get tired of hearing about them or tempted to stop reading the book because of them.  That happens semi-frequently, so, yay! :)

One of my all time favourite books but I think i popped at LEAST 70 braincells trying to picture what the Icecourt looked like

Still an amazing book read it now. It’s got a heist, a morally grey cast of characters, and a bisexual gunslinger what more could you want?

This is my second time reading this book. 🙃 I only first read it a few months ago, but I’ve been missing the characters. 🥹

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! 😍 All of the characters are so amazing and perfect and I wish they were real and that I could be friends with them. 🥰 KAZ AND INEJ ARE SO AHHHHHHHHHH! 🤩 (That was a scream) 😘 I also love the found family in this book. 🥹

The

whole ice court

plot got a bit confusing for me near the end, so I was just there for the vibes. 🙃 Which were amazing of course! 😌 I loved learning about the character’s back stories, especially Kaz’s. 🥺 There are so many plot twist and even when I think I know what’s going to happen… BAM! 💥 Plot twist. 😱

Anyway, if you couldn’t already tell, I absolutely love this book and the universe. 🥰 My rating is 4.5 ⭐️!
