Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
3.0
This one was a 3 star read for me. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it. The magical system is interesting, and it worked well in the context of the story. The story is told at a breakneck pace, and although I usually like fast-paced books, the plot felt a bit rushed at times.
I didn't feel much of a connection to the characters. I was mildly invested in Wesley and Tavia's will they won't they vibe, but I found the other two characters, Karam and Saxony, less interesting (although I appreciated the LGBT+ representation).
Into the Crooked Place falls into the gangster fantasy category, and it's a bit derivative of Six of Crows. It's fairly entertaining, but it doesn't break any new ground.
