Title:- Crooked Kingdom
Author:- Leigh Bardugo
Genres:-Fantasy,Y/A

Synopsis:-
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.

VERDICT:- 3/5 (recommended to read full post as I don’t blog in conventional way .The final verdict can be anywhere…)
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE THE PAGE BY JUST SEEING THE VERDICT.SOMETIMES I WILL BE CONTRIDICTORY.Afterall I am just a human.(untill now !who knows ,what I’ll be when I evolve)
So sit back ,relax ,and enjoy the veiws .I hope you’ll find my reviews entertaining and sometimes I collide with your visions on the book.And trut me its good to know that you are not alone having same views.
SO PUT YOUR SENSE-OF-HUMOUR -GLASSES -ON .
REVIEW:-
Again today I try to cover this book in every aspect . Tried.
I would have come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.
Characters:-
The characters are same as its in previous part Six Of Crows. But the depth of the characters are more astounding and vivid .As expected by Leigh Bardugo.The story revolved around the six characters and you can differentiate the voices of each one of them.This makes the book fast pase. I must say the writing of characters and developing them are the most difficult thing to do in writing.But Leigh just done it so easily that no one can forget any of the six characters.They are like in It .The characters stays with you through out the story as well as through out your life(worthless, if you hate reading).And here it goes. I just compared the characters to Stephen King’s characters developement who is the best character producer and makes them imortal.By this you can get the idea of characters creation by Leigh.You can have favorite but for every one it will be different.As you are choosing from the six best written characters.
Atmosphere:-
The book sets in Fantasy world of Geisha,who are suppose to be healer through magic.But there’s a compound which makes them to be something like Faulty and makes them insane.This is the book’s one of the purpose.There are basically Six purposses in this book and no one clashes with each other but binded by each other and makes the reader to emerse groundly with it to know about each and every purpose to fullfill.
As you guessed by this.The book gives very magical and curious feeling .The writing and clear characters makes the book easy to grasp and the again every thing is happening in front of your eyes ,in your room.You don’t really remember like you are reading and this makes the book to hold you.
Writing:-
The writing pattern is same as the SIX OF CROWS.
- THERE IS INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS FOR EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER.
- THERE IS NO CONFUSION IN POINTING OUT THE CHARACTERS AND THE SCENARIO.
- THERE’S VOICES ASSOCIATED WITH EVERY CHARACTER…LIKE IN IT by STEPHEN KING .
- THE WORLD OF GRISHA IS WELL KNOWN BUT ITS BEST DESCRIBED IN THIS DUALOGY.
- THERE IS STABILITY IN MAGIC POWERS.THEY ARE NOT VERY IMPORTANT YET CRUTIAL .
PLOT:-
The plot is very much covered in the six of crows reviews.As it’s a conclussion part for SoC.I am not saying that it just have the conclussion but its mostly is.As there’s something happens in the end part of six of crows and for that this book takes place.This six of them again plots a masterplan and fails and by failing you could get the idea if you are familiar with Leigh’s writing.This is here a master stroke of plot twist.But there’s a flaw in this part by plot twist I did’nt satisfied as the six of crows plot twist(s).In the end the plot is so badass and unique in its own as metaphorically like Harry Potter.Genuine writing and You did’nt read something like this .Atleast I did’nt.
If you know the plot and story like this please share and suggest me in the comments below.I really needed books and story like this .It’ll be nice if they are really limited logies.
(I also don’t think its a word )
By logies I mean dualogy or trilogy.
I hope I get many suggestions…
