A review by megancperry
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
Absolutely amazing! Once again, it was so well-written, with just as many twists and turns as Six of Crows, this was a fabulous conclusion to the duology.
I loved Matthias' character arc over the duology, and, actually, each one of the six has changed so much. I found the ending quite bittersweet because I am satisfied with their 'happy endings', but now it's over. Finished. Complete. I want more tales of the crows' adventures, I need more of their banter and their jokes. Bardugo writes such natural and ingenious dialogue, that i need more.
Crooked Kingdom is an enthralling end to the Six of Crows duology.
“Fear is a phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and still it will return.”I can't decide whether I prefer this or Six of Crows. On the one hand, i loved the flashbacks and how well they were woven into the previous novel, the writing was incredible, and being introduced to all of the characters was brilliant. However, in Crooked Kingdom we see all of the relationships develop and although i did miss the flashbacks (especially the Nina/Matthias ones - recently realised it's pronounced muh-TYE-uhs, not MATH-ee-ahs, which i've been saying this whole time), there were just as many surprises and twists.
