 Review: Back to last year, Six of Crows was such a great read to me. It was fast-paced and undeniably a great journey. I loved every bit of it, but it never made it to my top favorite books. And now, it is time I am getting my hands on Crooked Kingdom. I couldn't wait to get the book. Plus, I was not disappointed a little bit by it and it did make it to my top favorite list. 
 If I could shortly describe Crooked Kingdom in a word, it would be well-organized. I felt and knew the story from beginning to end, I remembered little details about it and I really loved that. The plot was fast-paced with twists and turns and secrets and it was really enjoyable. There were constant actions and really put me on the edge of my seat every. damn. time. The plot had developed along with Leigh Bardugo's writing throughout the whole book. That epic ending was a great job for such a book. It was satisfying firstly, then it dragged you through an emotionally heartbreaking scene. I could not do anything but sob while reading through the ending. It ended where it perfectly should end, yet you couldn't help but ask for more. 
 Leigh Bardugo's writing was damned amazing. It was surprisingly good after the Grisha trilogy, which I didn't particularly like. It improved throughout the entire book and I loved how she used her wordings in it. I enjoyed reading her action scenes the most, which depicted everything for me to correctly imagine in my own head. 
 Crooked Kingdom brought out multiple of narrators like Six of Crows did, but this time, I loved all of them. Kaz, Inej, Nina, Jesper, Matthias, and Wylan. I loved all of them. They were unique and quirky in their ways and their abilities were so intriguing. I cared about all of them and I would feel terrible for any of them to die. I wouldn't imagine anyone's death and I was eternally praying throughout the book that no one would be dead. Even the villain, Van Eck, he was constantly stubborn towards Kaz and won't stop it with his games, yet he wasn't that much compared to Kaz. 
 Overall: I am going to pray from today that Leigh Bardugo would pull out something else this good and would not shatter her Grisha world. I did not particularly like the Grisha trilogy, but I promise, I loved Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom from beginning to end. It was everything I lived for and I was constantly enjoying the actions. I hope that Leigh would bring out new books which are as good as this one. Then, I can worship her.
