Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2)
by Leigh Bardugo
What is it about:
Welcome to the world of the Grisha.
Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts 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.
What did I think of it:
This was a nice enough read, but I had expected more from it.
Maybe it's because I read the first book back in 2017 and didn't reread it before picking up this book, maybe it's just my current mood, but I didn't connect with Kaz and his crew in this book.
The story was very decent and with some clever plots, but it all left me feeling Meh...
There wasn't a moment I felt myself rooting for anyone. I enjoyed the cleverness and the overall plot, but I missed the emotional component needed to actually care about it all.
I might at one time or other decide to reread Six of Crows and see if I then will try this book again, but it won't be anytime soon I'm afraid.
Why should you read it:
It's a very clever Fantasy read.
