I finished Crooked Kingdom so it’s time for a GIF review!
All the twists and turns had me like
When I realized this book had a MAJOR Grisha series spoiler
![]() |
Yes, yes, I read this even though I never finished the Grisha series yet |
All the flashbacks
(Some of the flashbacks had flashbacks)
The romantic pairings
I’m just not on board for most of the canon ships
Unpopular opinion: Kaz is a Draco in Leather Pants and I don’t find the way he treats people endearing
Nina and Inej though
The Jesper and Kaz fight
The full cast’s audiobook performance
Narrator Laura Fortgang’s narration in particular
She was a better Kaz than the Kaz narrator
Me at the end of this book
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book
But I do think Six of Crows was a better, tighter, story
Off to read the Grisha series now so I can fully understand the world building and character moments that went over my head.
I’m a lifelong reader who started blogging about YA books in 2011 but now I read in just about every genre! I love YA coming of age stories, compelling memoirs and genre bending SFF. You can find me talking all things romance at Romance and Sensibility.
