A review by ghadahkhalid
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

I make it a rule to only review the first book of a series, unless one of the other books in the same series stood out either positively or negatively.

I couldn’t decide whether Crooked Kingdom stood out in a good or bad way; reading it mostly felt like a chore, but then again I did enjoy a huge chunk of the book. The problem is I couldn’t bring myself to care, as I was just over the characters and the whole story.

Would I recommend the duology? Yes.
Do I still think it should’ve been a standalone? Definitely.
