One of my most highly anticipated sequels of the year IS FINALLY IN MY CLAMMY PAWS!
HOW DO I EVEN ACCURATELY REVIEW THIS MASTERPIECE??? I don’t know. What are words. What is air. WHAT IS TYPING AFJDSKALFDAJSKDLJD. Okay okay, I will calm myself and write a (semi)coherent review but all you need to know is: this book is a magnificent villainous piece of genius. Hence the “WHAT IS AIR” question because if I fangirl anymore I will lose my miiiiiiind.
(Just kidding hhaha. I lost my mind YEARS AGO.)
You can read my review of Book #1 Six of Crows right here if you wish it!
ALSO: This review will NOT contain spoilers! I will have a spoiler discussion section, but that will all be hidden. So if you’re reading this via email — STOP! COME TO THE ACTUAL BLOG!! I IMPLORE YOU! (For some reason reading it via email will negate the spoiler tags and you’ll see all.)
(Because my review of Six of Crows was 6 thoughts about it…so I’m keeping with the theme.)
1. IT’S VERY FOCUSED ON THE PLOT WHICH, BY THE WAY, IS FREAKING BRILLIANT.
The story picks basically where book one left off. It’s VERY focused on the complex plot. Which I truly did enjoy, although I confess to being befuddled several times. This didn’t bother me because (A) I plan to re-read it via audio eventually and plot twists alway sink in better for me that way; and (B) IT WAS SUCH A GOOD PLOT I’M NEVER COMPLAINING BECAUSE I’M IN LOVE.
Ahem…moving forward. The heist is very different this time. Which is good, because we don’t want a rerun. We want NEW. We stay in Ketterdam (yaaas) and it gets fairly political with Kaz intending to bring down Van Eck’s kingdom and reputation as well. So less lock-picking. More mind games.
2. THE CHARACTERS DEVIOUSLY LITTLE VILLAINS WHO WILL STEAL YOUR HEART.
My precious thieving darlings were perfect in every way. Except for the part where the book ENDED and I get NO MORE OF THEM EVER. Excuse me I might cry. But onwards! My favourite part of this crew is that they are all so good at being evil. And also they’re actually quite goodhearted. AND ALSO VILLAINS. I love them.
- KAZ: He’s still is downright vicious in this one and if you thought he was a cold dark melon in book one…hahhaahah. HE GETS MEANER. #BlessHim
- NINA & MATTHIAS: I’m lumping them together because their big character development was in the first book. They’re still adorable and fight but they’re really a power-couple here. Plus Nina is always eating. I love Nina. NINA IS HONESTLY MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.
- WYLAN: He gets his own POV which just confirms the fact that he is adorable and must be protected at all costs.
- JESPER: He has so much character development it’s just glorious. We get to meet his dad (!!) and Jesper has to face his addictions and just GAH. It was perfect.
- INEJ: She remains my least favourite. The “holier than thou” attitude just ticks me off. Don’t get me wrong! I still like her. But I really felt disinterested in her story line because she never grows because she’s always “perfect”. I prefer characters who have better development. Kaz, Wylan, and Jesper all WIN here.
Basically any book that balances intensely complex characters with an intensely complex plot is just marvellous and that is all.
3. YOU WILL SHIP UNTIL YOUR HEART EXPLODES.
Which could be mess, but isn’t the shipping worth it? I will say that the actual romance is on the quieter side, because it’s more like “GET TOGETHER ALREADY” than pages of make-out scenes. THERE IS MUCH SHIPPING TO BE DONE AND IT IS GLORIOUS.
4. IT IS THE SIZE OF A SMALL PLANET AND YET I DIDN’T MIND.
500-pages usually freaks me out. But this time, I thought it needed everything. Or I am just obsessed totally obsessed with both Kaz & Co and also the Grishaverse in its glorious entirety? Who can know? (Spoiler: I’m obsessed.)
5. FOOD APPRECIATION IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE.
The amount of waffles here is sheerly delicious and also inspiring. Bless Nina who is a complete foodie and manages to bring waffles into just about every third scene. Seriously this book, in a nutshell is: Kaz’s evil schemes + fabulous sass + explosions + waffles.
Nina’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t remember saying you could give away my biscuits.”
“It’s for a good cause,” Matthias said, retrieving the tin. “Besides, you’ve barely touched them.”
“I’m saving them for later,” said Nina with a sniff. “And you should not cross me when it comes to sweets.”
Jesper nodded. “She’s like a dessert-hoarding dragon.”
She rested her head on his shoulder. “You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar.”
A small smile curled the Fjerdan’s lips. “Let’s not say things we don’t mean, my love.”
But how the hell did you apologise for that? Sorry I almost got you stabbed to death. Who wants waffles?
6. THERE WILL BE FEELS. THE WHOLE RANGE OF FEELS SO YOU ARE A FEELS-EXPLODING FACTORY.
A book that gives you feels is automatically an exceptional book. #fact Plus Crooked Kingdom mixed “funny-hilarious-black-comedy” feels in with the “plot-twist-omg-omg-omg” feels. I forgot to breathe several times, but who even needs air? Eh. I laughed. I CRIED. It moved me, Bob. It’s dark and it’s funny all at once and IT’S DESTROYING AND BEAUTIFUL.
Seriously, someone stop me fangirling before I actually physically hurt myself.
Jesper tapped his fingers restlessly on his thighs. “Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?”
“So?” said Kaz.
“Well, usually it’s just half the city.”
About the ships:
About the finale:
About cameos:
Was Crooked Kingdom perfect…OR WAS IT PERFECT?!?
(It was perfect.) I’m so marvellously happy that it didn’t disappoint, but I’m simultnaeously so sad it’s over. Hopefully Leigh Bardugo announces a new series soon?! I hate being in limbo-land of not having a series to look forward to from a favourite author!! I HAVE NEEDS HERE.
Kaz Brekker remains one of my all-time-top-favourite characters. The Grishaverse is my everything. My feels were all over the place and I LAUGHED and I NEARLY CRIED and and and…
Yes, fine. I’ll stop gushing now because you clearly need to rush off and go read it.
THANK YOU TO HACHETTE AUSTRALIA FOR THE REVIEW-COPY. Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo was published September, 2016.
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn’t think they’d survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they’re right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and left crippled by the kidnapping of a valuable team member, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz’s cunning and test the team’s fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city’s dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the Grisha world.
“Kaz?” Jesper said tentatively.
But Kaz was staring into the middle distance. Wylan thought he knew that look
“Is that –?” asked Wylan.
“Scheming face?” said Jesper.
Matthias nodded. “Definitely.”

I still haven’t read anything by Bardugo (yeah I know what the hell!) But I will someday…
*looks up at the ever growing TBR pile*
*deep sighs*
But a book that I had high expectations on and did NOT disappoint (thankfully) would be And I Darken by Kiersten White. It was sooooo gooood. I read it because of your review. So thanks!
Wait I was the first to comment??

OMG YOU MUST FIX THIS BARDUGO-SHAPED-HOLE IN YOUR LIFE, RAVEN. *stamps foot* I demand it! Actually I’ll bribe you with cake…you can’t refuse that right?! And if your TBR falls on you and squashes you flat, I valiantly offer to dig you out #IAmKind
OMG you read And I Darken because of meeeee?!?!? THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.
Oh my god you’re right! I can’t refuse cake and your offer to dig me out of my tbr cave in. I’m going to start with the Grisha trilogy ASAP
😁 I can’t ever say no to books you review as having lots of stabby-stabby stabs
I will definitely get this book based on your recommendation.
*flails from the rooftops* THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD ALL DAY THEN.
AHEM I NEED TO SO BADLY READ THIS. I hate my best friend, I mean, I got to school today and she was so upset and I asked her what was wrong so SHE ACCIDENTALLY SPOILED ME FOR A CHARACTER. I am so not over this. Whatever but I am still upset. We all are wishing Leigh Bardugo announces a new book/series cause that’s what we do- wait for new books by our favourite authors. I do not care if it is about the Grisha world or some other fantasy world, I will read anything this woman writes. Even if she writes a cookbook. (Which will be good because I don’t know how to cook anything except for instant noodles😂) great review, Cait!! Btw I love that arrow banners of yours! ❤️How do you make them??

Omgggg I’m so sorry you were spoiled! 😩 (But also that’s really awesome that you have bookworm friends! Even if they need to be duct-taped to silence occasionally.😂)
YESSS I NEED ALL THE BARDUGO WORDS! I mean, she’s writing that Wonder Woman book and I will 100% read that, but I need to know another series is coming from her soon!! I NEED.
I just bought the graphics off etsy actually. 😉
All you fangirling people are making me want to read Six of Crows again. DID I MISS SOMETHING? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? But I did read it on schoolies, and let’s be real, a few brain cells were destroyed during that week. When uni is finished maybe I’ll reread it and become a raving fangirl as well.
*pats shoulder* It’s okay, WE ALL MAKE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE LIFE-DESTROYING MISTAKES SOMETIMES. Ahem. But actually I gave SoC only 4-stars when I first read it. I re-read via audio and because obsessed. Like so badly obsessed omg.
I need to get back to reading about the Grishaverse. I am happy to hear Crooked Kingdom was perfection! Thanks for sharing your review 🙂
I CAN’T EVEN FLAIL ENOUGH OVER THIS DUOLOGY HONESTLY. I just wish there were more books. *howls*
Oh, I still need to read this series! I don’t think I’ve heard a bad thing about it!
Hmmm. A book I had high expectations for that didn’t disappoint me… It’s going to have to be The Masked City. The Burning Page cannot come out fast enough! XD

Ohhh I have The Invisible Library on my TBR…why even haven’t I read it yet? I CANNOT WAIT. *flings confetti* I’m glad you love it so much! And yessss, do try Six of Crows someday. :’)
Oh boy, oh boy, this one arrived in my mail last week, and after reading your review I’m even more excited than I already was :). I have a couple of book events coming up where I want to read the author’s books before I see them, but I will definitely have to squeeze this one in between :).
AHHHH I HOPE YOU LOVE CROOKED KINGDOM TOO THEN!! *flails copiously*
I still have the first of the Grisha Trilogy on my shelf back home. Everyone I know’s loved it and I’m assured it only gets better. I’ll have to move it up in my queue because I love scheming stories. 😀
Elisabeth Wheatley recently posted…Top Ten Mythological Warrior Women
Eeeep, I hope you love it too! I prefer the Six of Crows duology but the Grisha book are still SO GOOD and book #2 is my favourite. 😉
I want to eat waffles…like NOW
and after that review I haave to read those books😍
ME TOO. But I will never look at a waffle and not think of Nina now. <3
I read the first book a few months back and got this one a few days back. I’m so stoked to read it because #KazIsLife
but life and college
sadly, the book will have to wait for a bit *sobs*
KAZ IS LIFE. And also death probably because he’s downright scary. bUT LIFE.
Ahhhh, college is conspiring against you.😭
I AM SO BLOODY SHOCKED. ahhhhh how could they kill Matthias???? He was…..UGH I GOING TO GO SOB FRANTICALLY NOW. POOR POOR NINA JUST KILL ME KNOW PLEEEAASSSEEEEEEE. okay, deep breathes. I’m satisfied with Inej and Kaz’s ending though. If they had ended by frantically snogging each other I’d have been HIGHLY skeptical. This is good. I can handle this. AND YAY NIKOLAI IS IN HERE. That will make all the pain more bearable. Okay, I seriously need to read this. And I cannot decide for the life of me who my favorite character is. Nina? Matthias? KAZ???? I get where you’re coming on Inej…didn’t annoy me THAT much, and I did like her, except for a couple self-righteous moments when she was all “Here’s a Suli proverb for your sad sad life Kaz.” Glad that she’s a little less snobby like that. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEW I NEEDED THIS. ♡♡
DUDE, YES, I AGREE WITH THIS. I’m sooo happy with Inej/Kaz’s ending, because it stayed in character and actually proved that falling in love DOESN’T “cure” anything. They both still need to heal and work things out and take care of themselves. And they can do that together, but they’re not going to be swooning into each other’s arms and forgetting their problems. <33 Honestly I'd give the book 39839 stars for that alone.
But yeah, grrr. I mean, I LIKED how Inej acknowledged she had problems too in this book at least. I hate it when she was all throwing her little proverbs around when Kaz is like "if I touch skin I will literally have a panic attack and feel like I'm going to die" and she's like "yeah, so?" IT MADE ME VERY MAD TBH. *shakes fist* So I'm glad Inej got past that.
ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR FLAILING WITH ME.
I think it’s really time for me to read this duology.
And even though I still haven’t started it, the fear of spoilers is real, so I guess I should get to it ASAP, like, yesterday!

Yes, yes it definitely is. *nods sagely* It would be a gloriously wise life decision. ;D
When I first heard about Six Of Crows, I thought nothing of it. Now, It’s become a book sensation, EVERYONE IS READING IT OR HAS READ IT. But, sadly after being recommended to eat cake (I wonder who THAT was! ), I’ve been too busy cutting slices of baked goods, to have a chance to read it! IT sounds SO GOOD! I honestly only want to read this so I can FANGIRL and eat more cake to celebrate !!!!! GREAT review 😀

IT’S WORTH IT, I ABSOLUTELY PROMISE. *shrieks from the rooftops* 😂 But omg…I have distracted you with cake. I feel monstrously bad…except cake. Maybe eat cake AND read it simultaneously?? That will be the good life *nods*
So, I haven´t read these books (I know, I apologize, shame on me) and I doubt I´ll get to them soon, (endless TBR, you understand) but I just HAD to comment because I GOT A QUOTE THAT YOU USED!!!
¨ I lauged, I cried, it moved me, Bob.¨ KAJKSDFKJFK
I find it SO funny, because, my family watches Veggietales. Like, my grandma used to buy EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. As soon as they came out! So, I don´t even remember where that is from, but I GOT IT!!!!!
(that IS where it is from, right?)
(And also, when you call us, your readers, Bob, are talking Bob the Tomato? I wasn’t sure, but now I think so.)
Anyway, lovely post, your Majesty! (As always)

I do definitely understand the pain of an Endless TBR *pats shoulder* THERE THERE, IT’LL BE OKAY. WE’RE ALL DROWNING IN BOOKS.
OMGGG YOU GOT MY QUOTE!! AHHH. Clearly we had epic childhoods, right?! 😉 I actually can’t remember which one it’s from either…definitely one of the older ones since I grew up using it haah.😂 But yes, it is 100% a Veggietales quote. And actually YES that quote is the reason I say Bob, now that I come to think of it. OMG YOU’RE DISCOVERING ALL MY SECRETS.😂
Thank you, dear. *frowns at tbr, then hugs it* Cruel beautiful monster of a pile of books!!
YES!! We had the EPIC-EST of childhoods!!!! (I guess it would the the most epic, but whatever. Don’t bother me Grammar, I’m trying to write!)
Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to tell the secret! I WON’T TELL ANYONE ELSE!!!!!!! hahaha. 😀

I didn’t love the Shadow and Bone series as much as I love Six of Crows. I need to read Crooked Kingdom still. UUGGGHHHH, why can’t I snap my fingers and have the book I want in my hand. I think my favorite character would have to be Jesper of Nina. I love how Nina fluster people, and I live Jesper’s little comments he makes. It broke my heart when I found out Wylan couldn’t read, it breaks my heart when I find out any characters can’t read (like Nathan from Half Bad). I love Kaz and Matthias, and Inej too. I love all the characters but Nina and Jesper are my #1. I am having really high expectations for Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi. I haven’t read it yet but it is on my shelf and it looks beautiful on the outside and hope it will be beautiful on the outside. Also have you seen pictures of the Crooked Kingdom books with the red pages. BEAUTIFUL! Also the Ketterdam map. BEAUTIFUL! I will faint from all this beauty and awesomeness. I don’t want this series to end:'(
YES AND YES TO JESPER AND NINA.😂 They are glorious flirts. I think there’s a comment in Crooked Kingdom where someone says “why don’t we just get Nina/Jesper to flirt the world into submission” and I’m just like yessss. They are glorious. And YES I love Wylan and he is a precious little cupcake that needs protection. <3 I didn't actually think of him in comparison to Nathan but OMG YES. And I don't know if you've read Fangirl but Levi isn't good at reading either and basically listens to audiobooks and ajfdkasld I feel such tender sadness towards people who can't read.
I have the same fear of Furthermore actually!!😂 IT'S SO PRETTY...I need it to be good. I heard someone say it's a good tribute to Lewis Carroll and that excites me!!
These books sound amazing!! I need to read them asap…unfortunately because of my town’s location getting holds at the library sometimes takes months… *sobs*
I’ll eat up reviews till then! And I just started the Raven Boys! =fulfilling my expectations <3
Ugh waiting on the library is the worst sometimes! I hear your pain! It took me literally SIX MONTHS to get my reserve of The Love That Split The World which is just ridiculous. BUT ANYWAY. Omgg you’re reading The Raven Boys?!? OKAY THIS MAKES MY DAY!!! I hope you love it!! *dances excitedly around you* Tell me what you think when you finish!?
I sure will! 😀
AAAAHHH I’m SO excited to finish Six of Crows and get on to Crooked Kingdom and have ALL THE FEELS. For some reason, I keep getting distracted. Also… I AM ALWAYS A LITTLE TEMPTED TO READ THE SPOILERS but no. I actually refrained. UM. But I am fabulously pleased that you loved it as much as you hoped!
Esther recently posted…How to: Take FOREVER to Read a Book
YES BE STRONG! NO SPOILERS UNTIL YOU’VEE READ IT! 😉 But ahhhh I’m really glad you’re a fan of this series too! *SHRIEKS HAPPILY FROM THE ROOFTOPS*
Reading your review for the second time has made us realise how many things we left out in ours😅😅
Really liked how you mentioned the fact Kaz and Inej didn’t jump into each other’s arms and profess their undying love. Beyond refreshing.
It’s important to point out how wonderful your photos are. So gorgeous and loving how the gold stands out!
Our favourite character is obviously Nina. She brings food references and power and wit. What’s not to love? She also manages to show vulnerability, but not appear weak.
We’re off to read some of those recommended reviews now. Prepare yourself for more comments😂
Arkon and Annie recently posted…Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
YES. Kaz and Inej’s finale impressed me so much I will literally FLAIL FOREVER. They both need a lot of healing still and they are good for each other…but that doesn’t mean they have to be married at dawn. Bless Bardugo for acknowledging that!! :’)
Omggg THANK YOU. I re-took these photos a gazillion times trying to get the perfect ones to sum up my intense love for this series😂
Oh my gosh !! I cannot wait to read this book! For that, I’d actually need to get my hands on a copy of it but I’ve imposed a book buying ban so I’m quietly hoping the HS library decides to order a copy..they have Six of Crows featured right now lol. ALSO YES I LOVE THE GRISHA BOOKS!!! I’m halfway through the second one right now (I decided I may as well start reading it) and I have so many feels about Mal and Alina. I’m reading Furthermore right now as well and I think that definitely counts as a book that I had SKY HIGH expectations about and AAAH IT’S SO AMAZINGGGG!!! Anyway, I’m really tempted to click on the spoilers (because ugh a girl’s gotta know right) but I know that’ll completely ruin this for me… I tend to be okay with spoilers if I’m ALREADY reading a book but I’m not so…AAgh I love your reviews by the way. I don’t say this enough but your blog (and you of course) is just brilliant (ignore the bad grammar) AND I CAN’T GET ENOUGH..And also I should probably comment more but I am that shy person who loves to lurk in the corner and quietly observe. 😛
Ahhhh I hope your library gets it really soon!! You could request they get it, right? I’m forever requesting my library buys things because #PoorBookwormProblems. 😂
Omg I’m so glad Furthermore is amazing! I REALLY want to buy that one because BOOKSTAGRAM but I also am nervous because I’m not such a fan of MG. I’ve heard it’s a great tribute to Lewis Carroll though? And that wins me over big time. hehe.
AWWWW, RACHANA. LET ME HUG YOU NOW AND FEED YOU ALL THE CAKE. I really needed that encouragement today. <3 :') Shy lurkers are just as loved around here!!
Yes, yes, yes! I love this book, I love your review, I love the Grisha world and I love these precious little characters so much! I already loved the Grisha trilogy (it has Sturmhund who is basically my most favorite character ever), but then this duology? I might like it even more…
It’s super hard for me to pick a favorite characters because my mind would change every single chapter pretty much. But If I HAD to choose, I guess it would be Nina – she’s just so cool. Followed closely by Kaz and Wylan, who are both so different and yet so precious 🙂
Also, I’m not gonna spoil, but I just want to quickly flail with you: THAT CAMEO, OMG!!!

I did so LOVE Siege & Storm…like it is the bessst book ever because of one reason: STURMHOND. *shrieks* I wasn’t a fan of how that trilogy ended tho? But hahahh that’s because of my ship.😂 BUT SIX OF CROWS DUOLOGY IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY BLESS IT.
Nina is just amazingly gorgeous. <3 Kaz will always be my ultimate favourite but fjsdakfld NINA AND HER CAKE.
Woah, that was a nice way to shove the book up my face 😀 I haven’t read anything by Leigh Bardugo…yet…but the hype is certainly overwhelming. If I ever get around to read Six of Crows it will be because of you, so yes, thank you! 😛
I am here to slap books in everyone’s faces! IT IS MY JOB IN LIFE. :’)
ACK. And I still haven’t read Six of Crows… *hides*

*piles Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom on your head* 😜😂
I AM DYING. I CAN’T WAIT.
Six of Crows, even after reading the first two chapters, quickly climbed it’s way into some of my favorite books of all time. Seeing as the waiting-list to even be CONSIDERED for a favorite is extremely long, that’s impressive.
NINA IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL. She and Matthias are precious. CROOKED KINGDOM WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.
THAT IS SOOO IMPRESSIVE!! And basically it’s the same for me!! Stiefvater is firmly on the top of my Favourite of All list, closely followed by Schwab, but I would honestly put Bardugo there now because 😍😍😍 fajdkfladsj I have SO MANY EMOTIONS.
You are killing me Cait, I have Six of Crow but have not read it yet. I am like one of those, but everyone loves it what if I hate it….but it looks soo soo good.
It seems to be a love or hate vigorously series actually. 😂 BUT I HOPE YOU LOVE IT!!
Kaz is back, crying because I haven’t read it!
CRYING BECAUSE I HAVE READ IT AND I HAVE EMOTIONS.
CROOKED KINGDOM WAS TOTALLY PERFECT. I loved every single thing about it, and I honestly feel like I could read it over and over again and be very very very very happy (and stressed out) (and terrified) (and happy) (basically, all the feels). SO AMAZING.

When I saw the notification for this post while on vacation I KNEW I HAD TO COME back and READit. Brilliant! Everyone seems to enjoy it, So let me go and mope in the corner for a while (because I didnt read Six of Crows yet!!). I need to get these two ASAP. I was not so intrigued when Six of Crows came out. But after the Crooked Kingdom hype, I really can’t stand it any more. I need the book. Also, my expectations are sky-high. Hopefully I will enjoy the read
