[Tayla]

Done with part 3! I'm still not tha hooked. It's good but not great

[C.P.]

Hope you enjoy it more as you go!

[Tayla]

Done with part 4 (view spoiler)[ now we are getting somewhere. Hertzoon is Rollins... that's insane. These poor kids have such horrible back stories. They are all forced to grow up so fast. It's so sad. Poor inej. I really want her and kaz to be together and for her to help him get over his fear of flesh... wink wink. (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

I know, Tayla! It is sad. :(

It is so much better the second time!!

[Melany]

Up to part 6, almost done and all I want is Kaz and Inej to be happy together! (view spoiler)[ I hate that Inej came to the conclusion that she need to get away from Kaz at the same time Kaz had the revelation that he's madly in love with her and she is now his reason to live!!! It makes me so sad!! (hide spoiler)]

[Melany]

I finished it was so good! I need Crooked Kingdom NOW!

[~ Giulia ~]

I'll join you for this BR :)

[~ Giulia ~]

I haven't read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, so I'm probably missing a ton of references, but for now I'm able to follow the story well enough.

Part 1 (view spoiler)[ We've yet to meet some crew members, but so far I'm liking the characters and the mood seems dark enough to make me hope it won't turn into some kind of mushy love triangle/insta-love/angst-ridden teenager whine-fest.
*chants* Please be good till the end, please be good till the end... (hide spoiler)]

[~ Giulia ~]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[ To call Nina and Matthias' relationship complicated would be quite the understatement.
That scene with Oomen was brutal (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

@Giulia Hey I am going to join you for this!
I will start reading soon!

[~ Giulia ~]

Sophie wrote: "@Giulia Hey I am going to join you for this!

I hope you enjoy it :)

Part 3 (view spoiler)[ This section was mostly dedicated to characters backstories. At least Nina and Matthias finally found some common ground.
Now I'm itching for the action to start. There're so many things that could go wrong with the plan and, if that Grisha attack was any indication, everything won't be as easy as Kaz makes it sound to be. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

I am really liking it!
chapters 2-3
(view spoiler)[
I really, really, really like Kaz and Inej! But I am sorry to know that the first chapter's characters are dead!
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[~ Giulia ~]

Part 4 (view spoiler)[ I didn't think Kaz would get his revenge so soon. I hope he doesn't screw up and lets Rollins escape jail by mistake, they really don't need one more enemy on the loose (hide spoiler)]

[~ Giulia ~]

Finished (view spoiler)[ That was some flashy escape! I almost feel bad for the fjerdans (nah, not really) XD

This book nearly killed me with all the tension and the feelings! I love these characters, all of them, and I just want to see them end up together and happy, Kuwei included. With that ending how am I supposed to wait till I can get hold of the sequel?? (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

chapter 23
I am SO hoping that no one in the group dies I love them all so muuuch!!!

[Sophie]

Finished
Oh my god that ending was amazing I loved this book so much!
Can't wait to read the next book! I am so happy that that the second one is out because I don't know what I would do with my life if I had to wait one year!

[Amy]

This book was a little slow going but I'm getting into it now. I just finished part one (view spoiler)[ Wow, that prison was brutal! I bet Nina feels stupid that she risked everyone's lives to get this guy out and he ends up causing a fuss about it, something must have gone really sour if he feels like strangling her. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[ Wow this is getting intense, I wonder what Kaz did to Rollins in that cell. I'm surprised Wylan has survived this long I'd be scared stupid if I was him too. I heard before reading this about how diverse the characters are but I love that their differences aren't made 100% clear to the reader. Like it's pretty obvious Jesper is a little gay but he isn't yelling it from the roof tops, I love that Bardugo made them all different but not in an attention seeking kind of way. Anyway... that was a rant and a half, moving on. I think Inej is my favourite character so far, she was badass getting herself up the incinerator. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Chapter 38 (view spoiler)[ Phew, I was worried for a second Matthias was going to let Nina be experimented on. I can't believe he was ever part of a religion/army(??) that is so evil and actually still believes in some of it's crap. Kaz always seems to be there to get everyone out of sticky situations. I usually hate ships but I'm so on board with Jesper and Wylan right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I didn't like that it ended in Rollins' point of view but I like that the ending was so open. I don't understand why Rollins' just handed over all that money though and why does Kaz need it anyway?? I suppose that will all be answered in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Leelynn]

Can't wait for this one!

[Dr. Andy]

If I can get a copy of the audiobook I'll join in :)

[[deleted user]]

Joining!

[MelanieJoy]

I have a hardback copy that's due at the library soon, so I may start early, but I'll try to wait :)

[Dr. Andy]

Feel free to jump in anytime you want Melanie! But if you're using it for the January challenge just make sure you wait until the first otherwise it won't count. :)

[Breanna]

I'm going to be reading Six of Crows this month! Super excited for book talks!

[Leelynn]

Is it better to finish the Grisha trilogy before reading this book?

[Dr. Andy]

There are some secondary characters from that series and they are set in the same world. But you do not have to read that one before Six of Crows. You can if you want to.

Oh okay. Thanks Andrea! I wanted to read this book with the buddy read but I didn't finish The Grisha trilogy so I wanted to make sure. Thanks so much!

No problem!

[San]

I'll also try to join this buddy read but I could be a little late (I have an important exam and have to study :< ).

[Breanna]

Joining!!

[Breanna]

On part three! The beginning was hard for me to get into but i'm obsessed now! So much action in part two! Can't wait to see what happens next. How are y'all liking the book?

[Dr. Andy]

I'm definitely starting on Friday when I drive back to school. I have the audiobook. Might start before then but not sure.

[lena☀️]

aah I'm going to be a bit late because I suddenly decided to read the grisha trilogy first and I still have one book left so hopefully I can finish it by tomorrow and start right after

[Dr. Andy]

No problem, take your time :)

[lena☀️]

ok I finally finished the grisha trilogy and started this last night, I'm only two chapters in but it seems good so far, can't wait to read more

[Dr. Andy]

I started the audio book yesterday while I drove to school and unpacked. Got about halfway through!

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ This deal sounds insane. This drug is crazy and I can't believe Anya is dead! I like Kaz and Inej. They're awesome- dynamic duo in the making. Also the narrators are just amazing. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12- Literally I am shipping everyone and I have a terrible feeling my hearts going to break.

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ WTF are Matthias and Nina doing!? They can't kill the scientist dude. Omg if Kaz finds out, he's going to do something really bad. I hope he has a plan for this already. Plz Kaz. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ They had to change the plan and omg it seems like everything that can go wrong will! At least Matthias didn't shoot Kaz. I probably would've cried. I just want them to get out so badly. Especially Inej, I love her too much. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ INEJ NO! That cretin took Inej! And Nina!!! I can't believe she took the parem. OMG she better be okay. I want my people to be okay! And Wylan and Kuwei swapped places HOLY SHIT. EVERYTHING IS MAD. I must find out what happens now! (hide spoiler)]

[lena☀️]

part 1: (view spoiler)[ I like the way this is all being set up and we're not just being thrown into a heist with no history of how the characters know each other. Even though it's within the same fantasy world as the grisha trilogy bardugo has managed to make this other part of it truly feel like another part of it instead of the same environment but in a different place on the map. I'm loving this! (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Can I join? Just got my book in from the library!
