This book is everything! It keeps you turning pages because the plot is amazingly fast-paced while the characters are also very much the catalyzers. This story has both an engaging plot and complex characters with intriguing dynamics. It has fantasy, romance, comedy elements, action and so much more! Not only that, but the cast of main characters is very diverse (sexuality, religion and ethnicity albeit fantastical).

The backstories are going to make you cry. Also the ones in crooked kingdom.

one of my favorite books ever honestly, the plot was amazing i love all the twists and turns and how there was always a piece of the plan that’s not known to the reader and ends up being a shock. i also love how in-depth each character is, each and every one of them has a different drive, and they all have immersive backstories that were explored amazingly. another thing was the SHIPS. first of all, they’re all slow-burns which is amazing ?? they all have a lot of angst, and one of them even has this whole enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers thing going on which i loved.

Leigh Bardugo’s writing was just amazing. Her world building was incredibly detailed and she made all of the characters come to life in such a beautiful way. The characters were what made the book so amazing.
