A review by mathmatical
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

Man. I was really excited for this book but I remember when I finished Six of Crows the first time I thing I thought was “this sequel better be good otherwise there’s no point in there being a duology”. Well 500 pages later, and I still that way. Sure the book extends a lot of characters relationships with each other and fleshes out their backstories more but in the end I felt like these plot lines weren’t as interesting. The heist in this book was for sure less interesting, the new characters were ok at best and the ending didn’t feel like a true ending for half of these characters. Just more business that needs to be resolved. That being said the characters that we do already know were still amazing. The banter between them is fun and watching everything unfold was still satisfying. Just felt like this book didn’t really give too much.
