Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows, #2) (Grishaverse, #5)

by Leigh Bardugo

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.

As gripping, sweeping and memorable as the Grisha trilogy - SHADOW AND BONE, SIEGE AND STORM and RUIN AND RISING - this novel is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Laini Taylor, Kristin Cashore and GAME OF THRONES.

Winner of the Teen Choice Book Award for Book of the Year.

This ended up being a lot better than expected. I wasn't really into it at the start. Maybe because it's been so long since I read the first? Either way the beginning was a little slow but once the scheming started I was hooked. I was also hoping for a teeny bit more romance than what we got but it wasn't nonexistent.
I'm happy with how this duology ended!
