”What’s one little international incident among friends?”

uhhhh so I’m pretty sure I’m going to need a MONTH of recovery after finishing this series. A month of recovery or a movie Netflix original series.

me trying to get all my irls to read six of crows
description

Crooked Kingdom was so satisfying. I feel like I don’t even know how to talk about it. I’m happy with the endings all my faves got except for ONE who we’re not going to talk about and I’m just. So happy. Im love this book.

Characters mean everything to me and I love them all. Kaz?? The best. Tragic backstory. Unnecessarily dramatic. Relatable. Inej?? Could kill me with both hands tied behind her back. I would thank her for it. Jesper?? An angel. Covers up his inner fears and worries with jokes and poor fashion choices. If that ain’t me. Wylan?? Another fave. So wholesome. Nina?? Matthias?? Both amazing. OTP. I just want them to be happy smh.

And the relationships!!! It’s been so long since I read a series with a couple that I wholeheartedly ship and Six of Crows has THREE four counting inej/nina which I adore but uh inej/kaz has my heart 5ever. It’s so awesome and satisfying. Jesper and Wylan are so cute. My heart hurts. Nina and Matthias weren’t really my faves in Six of Crows but they definitely won me over in Crooked Kingdom. Inej and Kaz are iconic. That goes without saying.

Plot was ehhhh. That was the only down point for me. I felt like It wasn’t as tight and unpredictable as Six of Crows and the Dunyasha subplot had me going ?????but I don’t even care. I’m just so happy and satisfied.

So anyway if you haven’t read six of crows then freakin get on that. Ugh. I lowkey texted all my friends asking if they’ve read it and no one has. So disappointed. R E A D I T.

BOOK TOUGHTS / REVIEW DOWN BELOW! / WARNING IT CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE BOOK ITSELF!
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ Star Rating 2.5 ⭐•̩̩͙˚*☾
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ EXTRAS: MY TOUGHTS TROUGHOUT THE BOOK ITSELF ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
Starting this book. fingers crossed it will be a better then the previous one.
1. I am hoping the book itself will be a little better then the last, maybe a surprise or two?
Chapter 2: Why do I have a bad feeling that something is going to go wrong with the gambling game? I hope you will not barf by the amount of Oysters you consumed. OMG Kaz she is just a child, you are going to give her nightmares for the rest of her poor life.
Up to Page 77: Since I am continuing and not really looking at what chapter I am I am simply going to write at which page I am and write my thoughts that way. I am hopeing that Inej manages to escape from those two or she can easier deceive a plan and example take thier side and escape that way.

SO AMAZING!!! Believe it or not, Crooked Kingdom is EVEN BETTER than Six of Crows!! Again, the character dynamics and development was superb, the plot twists were top notch, and everything was just perfectly written. There were some pretty cool moments too, like
Spoiler Kaz finally getting his revenge on Pekka Rollins - that chapter was EPIC, and the second last chapter with Kaz and Inej...that tore my heart to pieces.
Anyone who hasn't read the Six of Crows duology, read it now - you won't regret it.
