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.
