I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together- knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting. 
 oh. my. gooooooood. 
 SPOILER FREE THOUGHTS: 
 1. If this doesn't have one of the best plots I've ever read, I don't know what does. 
 2. Are there better characters that exist? If so, please tell me. 
 3. This is the best book I've read since ACOMAF, and that's saying a lot. 
 If you haven't read this series, READ IT. READ IT. 
 -- everything below here is a spoiler -- 
 to start off... I can't describe how much I loved this book. However, I feel like I'm missing a ~connection~ with this book; that may be because I just don't know how to accept that, or it may just be that it wasn't there. Nonetheless, I loved/love this book to the moon and back. 
 Characters: 
 Inej. My love, my child, my girl. I cannot express how much I adore her and love her. It's honestly indescribable. One of my favorite characters of all time. 
 Nina. Oh, my GOD. I can't express how deeply I feel for her. I feel so horrible that she lost Matthias because she's also one of my favorite characters of all time. She's so sassy and wonderful. ALL that I aspire to be. 
 Matthias. Oh. My poor guy. I did cry when everyone was "saying their goodbyes". I can say that he was my least favorite one of the crew, but I still like/liked him. 
 Jesper. Honestly, just loyalty goals. He's absolutely wonderful. I can't express my love for him; another one of my favorite characters of all time. 
 Wylan. I was able to relate to him the most and I feel the closest to him. He's absolutely amazing and incredible. Guess what: another one of my favorite characters of all time. 
 KAZ. kaz kaz kaz kaz kaz kaz. My man, my dude, my possibly favorite character. Ever. I cannot express how AMAZING he is. #1 favorite character from this book, somehow even better than the rest. 
 Relationships: 
 Kaz & Inej. I almost cried when the quote at the top of my review was said. Have I EVER shipped anything more? I LOVE THEM. I l o v e them. Banter, flirting, EVERYTHING. KAZ LET INEJ TOUCH HIM. KAZ LET INEJ TOUCH HIM. KAZ TOUCHED INEJ. 
 Nina & Matthias. I just. Sad. 
 Wylan & Jesper. DUUUUDE. Their flirting was top-notch. I looooooove their relationship. I love. Love love love love love love. 
 The plot & setting: 
 I honestly can't describe how much I live for a good plot, and Crooked Kingdom did not disappoint. It led SO well from Six of Crows, and there was never, ever, ever a boring time. Faaaaaaan-tastic. I was thinking that this would be centered around getting Inej back, but NOPE. It was even more fabulous. It was able to capture my attention for hours on end, and I appreciate that to no end. Can I explain my love any more? I think not. 
 The setting is one of the best I have ever read. The world was so rich and cultured and I loved hearing the description of everything, especially about the countries. The maps were absolutely fantastic, especially the one of Ketterdam. W o n d e r f u l. 
 The ending: 
 I am so, so, so, so sad that we aren't getting any more stories for this gang, and it all ended so abruptly. The ending could be my only real complaint about Crooked Kingdom. I want to see more of Kaz and Inej, the reuniting of the gang (if there is any), Inej reuniting with her parents, Kaz meeting Inej's parents, just.. EVERYTHING. I wouldn't complain with another book just of that. 
 Other: 
 I can wholly say I enjoyed this more than Six of Crows. I think to enjoy this duology to the fullest extent, I need to sit down and read them all the way through; that's probably the reason I gave Six of Crows four stars instead of five. I already miss this world. 
 And with that... 
 No mourners, 
 no funerals.
