Description

See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with the Netflix series, Shadow and Bone -- Season 2 streaming now!

Discover what comes next for Kaz, Jesper, Inej, and Wylan, and the star-crossed Nina and Matthias, in Crooked Kingdom, the spectacular sequel to Six of Crows.
When you can’t beat the odds, change the game.

Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets—a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.

    Other bad thing about it is that kaz and inej should’ve had their chance for a relationship. I wish there was a third book that goes into their relationship and what becomes of them

  • Even better the trilogy!

    i ate this series up within a week. i was hooked by every twist of the story, by each heart stopping dead end the characters reached, only to be pulled right back out and shoved back into the story. i could not guess how this story was going to end. if what i was reading was real, or if Bardugo herself had pulled the wool over the reader’s own eyes and left them gasping with what was revealed next. truly a fantastic series, and must read. i love these books and wish i would’ve bought physical copies instead.

  • Absolutely devoured this series

    I’m just gonna say it, this duology is SO much better than the entire Grishaverse series!!! It was great to see the barrel rats show the bosses that you can’t keep’em down. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The pacing was smooth and the story was action packed. There was great banter between the characters and I enjoyed watching their relationships grow and their bonds strengthen. The multicast POV’s were great. It helped individualize each character and each narrator did a phenomenal job with their character.

  • Outstanding

    CROOKED KINGDOM, the second book in the Six of Crows series, has more action than the first, but most of it is in the “you’ve got to be kidding me” arena. The first book was a travel adventure, while in this book the action all takes place around the city of Ketterdam. What is the focus of this book, amongst all the chasing and fighting? Our hard-as-a-nut to crack dear Kaz is out for revenge for the death of his brother. How is he going to achieve this? In the most convoluted ridiculous manner possible, where just about everything goes his way and ten (maybe) different scenarios have to go perfectly. Or else! Thankfully, I love this kind of reading once in awhile. Sex trafficking is bad, we know that. This topic comes up a lot here. Inej was a victim before joining Kaz’ teenage group of thieves and she wants to get out there and tear down that system. It would be great to follow her journey in future books. My reactions to this book are: • It was too long and had too many coincidences. • Some scenarios had no follow-up. Did I miss how Colm got out of the bakery?? He seemed to have just appeared in a later scene. • Even though there were plenty of eye-rolls, I enjoyed the story much more than SIX OF CROWS.
