✨Reading Update✨ I'm currently reading 👑 Crooked Kingdom 🏰 by Leigh Bardugo, and it's great so far. This whole duology is great! 🃏♥️ I was reluctant 🤧 to get into this duology at first, because I had just read the Shadow and Bone ☠️ series, also by Leigh Bardugo, and I did not enjoy it at all. That's mainly because I didn't care about any of the characters, and the plot was extremely predictable right from the get-go. When I started Six of Crows, I had low expectations. 😔✊ Nevertheless, I found myself pleasantly surprised 🤩! This duology has taken everything I didn't like about Shadow and Bone and improved upon it tenfold 😱! The characters are incredibly interesting. They're all so distinct, flawed, and human. Because of this, their relationships with one another feel organic, and their incentives are believable 💃🕺. I also enjoy how the plot always keeps me at the edge of my seat. I don't know what to expect most of the time 🧐🤨. The stakes are always high in the story's criminal world, plus the characters' flaws tend to get in the way of their goals. I couldn't tell whether they would succeed or fail. The only way to find out is to keep reading 📖! Overall, I think I'm going to have a very very fun reading week with Crooked Kingdom. I'm sure this, along with Six of Crows, will end up as some of my favorite books of all-time! ✨ - #bookstagram #bibliophile #booklover #bookish #books #book #fiction #literature #nonfiction #reader #reading #translatedliterature #translatedlit #sixofcrows #crookedkingdom #grishaverse #grisha #ya #yafantasy #youngadult #youngadultfantasy #fantasy #leighbardugo #shadowandbone #readingupdate https://www.instagram.com/p/CK08EMwgd0u/?igshid=j4f6qs59z1bm
