6/5. I just finished the book and I cannot believe how much I loved it. I heard so many good reviews so going into it I lowered my expectations just in case I didn't like it (since I found "Shadow and Bone" a struggle to get through). But Oh. My. God. This. Book. I screamed, laughed, had to put the book down, had to hit the book, had to re-read many scenes, and had to just lie there with the book open on my head. It elicited every kind of emotion, mostly one of deep, deep yearning to hug all these characters very tightly and never let go. The plot was also just so unbelievably, beautifully planned out. The world, the politics of it were fascinating. I think, honestly, part of my immediate immersion into the world was fueled by my love for the cast of the "Shadow and Bone" Netflix series (they are legit perfect). However, I know I still definitely would have loved it regardless. Found family trope is one of my favourites. I could say a million more things but I'll leave it at this: Kaz Brekker needs so, so much therapy. Highly, highly recommend. (the book. and I mean therapy too.)

p.s., I currently do not have access to Crooked Kingdom, please pray for my sanity 🙏
