5.Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (SOC #2)
Crooked Kingdom Spoiler-Free Review
Publisher: Henry Holt &Co.
Release Date: September 27, 2016
Pages: 546
My Rating: ★★★★☆ ½
Overall Thoughts: Bardugo masterfully concludes her Six Of Crows duology! With Six of Crows, the world wasn’t as developed as I had hoped. However, the world of Ketterdam in Crooked Kingdom is greatly expanded + developed! Along with the world-building, character development is a huge part of this novel. This finale as with SOC, is filled with an exquisite writing style that really transports readers to this magical world + non-stop action and plot will keep you reading to the very end!
