altosaxist 's review for:

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

---

I gave this book 2.5 stars on Fable. Out of the duology Crooked Kingdom was the lesser. The unending cat and mouse theme made this book feel like a slog. Constant making of plans and plans failing every time left me feeling frustrated throughout. The only thing that kept me hanging on was the further character development, backstory, and banter. Idk I feel like Six of Crows could’ve just been a longer novel instead of having Crooked Kingdom being its own thing.
