Alright so I just finished reading Six of Crows and...
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THERE WAS A SEQUEL? Or I probably did know but forgot and then had my heart torn when it ended that way.
Ok so, Imma make this short 'cus I am itching to get started on The Crooked Kingdom because I need Kanej in order to survive.
I really really liked this book, mostly because it kept you on tenterhooks the whole time and made you be fully invested in all of the characters. You know how sometimes in those book blurbs/jackets they have those one-liner reviews where someone says 'Unputdownable'? Well, this was.
I think that may also be because of Kaz. He's such an unpredictable character and you never know what he's going to do next and you as the reader don't have the added benefit of knowing that whatever he'll do is necessarily for Good (or at least Good the way we see it). Because of that and all the interesting plot twists and intriguing world building, it's difficult to stop yourself from reading more.
Furthermore, all of the ships are quite adorable, although at the moment I think my favourite is probably Kanej.
In summary, the way Leigh Bardugo kept me guessing here was sheer brilliance and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of this type of genre.
