Although I absolutely love and adore the crows and six of crows, crooked kingdom is a bit slower than soc and at some parts a bit “complicated “. There are a lot of big words used, which is Leigh writing style and can be found in all of her books, in some parts it makes the book hard and almost boring to read. I feel that in both books I always struggled (doesn’t matter how many times I re read the books) to fully comprehend what the plan is. Although, I cannot recommend this book enough. Aside from the writing style which can be a bit difficult to get into, once the story picks up you enter in such a complex and layered world. You crave for more and more. Love the friendship between Nina and Inej, but in general the whole dynamic of the six crows with one and other is to die for. Yes, even Kaz, who pretends he doesn’t care but he would sacrifice himself for his crew. Reading this duology will always bring me back home.
