Mark my words, on May 6th, 2018, that I'm calling it now: the title of this book needs to be... Queen of Mourning. Page 455 of Crooked Kingdom, y'all. King of Scars? Queen of Mourning? Doesn't it have such a good ring to it?!

The girl of my dream is just me but she already has this book

UPDATE #2: cover title synopsis 😱
*is overwhelmed and dies*
★ Cover? GORGEOUS as usual *swoooons*

★ Title? AWESOME and thankfully not Queen of Storms—I’d have personally jumped out a window if the sequel continued to be Leigh fangirling over Zoya and forgetting Nikolai existed.
★ Synopsis? HOLY. Could this be everything I’d wanted King of Scars to be? Will we finally get Nikolai being a charming and kingly scheming boyo stealing all our hearts? Will there be Nina as an awesome awe-inspir ...more

Yeah. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to live through this. It might be the very thing that kills me.
(And I go to my grave willingly...)
And here's to hoping (view spoiler) returns because THAT would be quite the 'moment'. If you know what I mean.

If my love Kaz Brekker does not have a cameo in this book, I will be beyond angry.

Update 05/11/19:
Wait. WAIT. What if this was named Queen of Storms in reference to Zoya? As King of Scars was to Nikolai? That would be so awesome!!
Update 24/04/19:
I think another one of the original Crows is coming back to the Grishaverse in King of Scars 2 and here’s proof.
(Beware for there are spoilers for Crooked Kingdom and King of Scars ahead)
For Kaz and Inej:
“Show your face in Ravka, Brekker. We’ll teach you some manners.” - Zoya in Crooked Kingdom
“Until then, Zenik.”

Update August 2020
This title is so much more badass then a anything I could've predicted and I want an entire wall painted with this cover.
Prereview February 2019.
Alright I was wrong about Wildcard's title but maybe my theory about this one will be correct; it will be Queen of Storms or something close to it (Witch of Storms, The Storm Witch, Storm Queen, etc) ...more
