4.5
overall, i’d give this duology ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5.
although i love this duology, i find that bardugo’s writing is often... confusing? don’t get me wrong, i adore kaz brekker and his constant scheming, but the unravelling intricacies of the crow’s plans are sometimes hard to follow, and i find myself having to re-read pages to fully wrap my head around them.
despite this, i thoroughly enjoyed crooked kingdom. in fact, you only need to ask my boyfriend (@coryy19) how much i adored it, as it’s probably the only thing i’ve spoken to him about in the past few weeks! it definitely matched up to six of crows, and stepped it up a level, with the introduction of new characters, budding relationships and shocking discoveries. and without saying too much, the ending is so bitter-sweet that i’ve been processing it ever since.
it’s evidently a chunky book, but it’s so entertaining and rewarding that i’d recommend not even thinking twice before you pick it up.
