WOW!!!!!!! WHAT A THRILL!!!!! One of the first things that immediately catch my eye (or not) in a new book is the writing and man, did I love this one! Leigh Bardugo manages to develop her world and characters through dialogue so well, it almost seems easy! Not only that but with so many characters at the same time, absolutely brilliant and thrilling! ObSESSED! Can't wait to delve into the next one! Impressive stuff, sometimes I really have to remember writers create this stuff from nothing! The characters are... Wow!!!! Jesper represents a perfect metaphor for queer closeted individuals! Love every character!! Loved, loved, LOVED it!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Read! 

If I had read it when I first got it as a teenager, it would have been perfect. However, now that I am out of my teenage years, the characters felt uncomfortably young for their stories in a work fiction which discussed sex, SA, violence, and murder.  So in my head, they're older.

Wow. It took me a while to get into this book due to college taking up a lot of my time and being in a reading slump, but once I got sucked in, I couldn't put the book down. I loved being able to see each character's point of view and learning about their backstories. Normally, I don't really enjoy separate POV's, finding myself naturally gravitating to and waiting for a specific characters chapter. But this book? I enjoyed each character's point of view equally, and I sped through these chapters like crazy.  The overall story and backstories of each character are all so fleshed-out; I loved being able to piece together bits of the story over time. I especially enjoyed the plot twists -- nothing is ever as it seems. And I absolutely adored seeing the growth that the characters went through. I truly truly hope that Crooked Kingdom lives up to my expectations because my expectations are to the moon from Six of Crows.
