Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo
young adult, fantasy, sequel
I loved the first book in this duology, Six of Crows, so I was looking forward to reading the sequel. Unfortunately, it took me a long time to get through Crooked Kingdom and a I just wasn't interested in it for the first half of the story . I loved Leigh Bardugo's characters in the first book, but I found most of them to be sort of boring in Crooked Kingdom and therefore I was less interested in what they were doing.
There were some great action sequences that saved the book for me and while I almost stopped reading in the middle, I'm glad I didn't because the end was quite fun to read, if a little too predictable. Generally, though, the plot moves slowly throughout this book with a few bright shining moments and a few that will make you scratch your head wondering why it was part of the book.
So, if you read the first book and enjoyed it, you'll probably find some enjoyment in this one, but if you were on the fence with Six of Crows, you may not have the patience for Crooked Kingdom.
