A review by justagirlwithbooks
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

4.5

 "Had she really thought the world didn't change? She was a fool. The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent. The boy beside her. The future before her. Anything was possible.” 

I'd like to view this duology as two separate halves that form a whole. The character arcs were wrapped up solidly (except for one), yet I still crave for more from all of them, due to the open-ended ending. Everything I said in my review for the first book is still applicable here: beautiful quotes, amazing characters (that each had their own room to breathe - I loved the edition of Wylan's POV in this book!) character growth, a detailed world, witty banter... and last but not least, the relationships that developed between the characters are still my favorite part of this duology. The emotions were loaded throughout this book, especially during some fight scenes, which just made everything hit harder. This duology has made me look forward to reading and watching Shadow and Bone, so I hope I can get to it soon!
