Crooked Kingdom (Six Of Crows #2), by Leigh Bardugo - Restarting June 5th 2021

[Tati]

"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 left crippled by the kidnapping of a valuable team member, 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. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the Grisha world."

[Melany]

I'd like to join!

[[deleted user]]

I cannot wait for this one!!! I will be part of this.

[Tati]

I just got a message from Amazon saying release date for this was postponed to October 4. Did anyone else receive this e-mail?

W H A T.

[Tati]

EXACTLY!!! I'm so bummed!!

Why would they wait until the day before to tell me this??

[Tati]

Crisis averted!

[C.P.]

Mine better get here. Amazon still says "shipping soon" and that it will arrive by 8pm tomorrow. Hopefully it comes before then, but it had better come by then.

[Tati]

I had to switch Kindle editions to get the one that's releasing tomorrow. Had to pay a little extra, too

[C.P.]

That's annoying! I'm getting the physical book, which releases tomorrow. And a bunch of people have already gotten theirs. But when I pre-ordered The Raven King with Amazon they informed the day of that it wouldn't be here for another 2 months...needless to say, I canceled that order.

[Tati]

I'm in Brazil, so my only chance of getting at books on release day it's to get the Kindle version.

I guess some bookstores put out their copies before the official release date, which can cause them a bit of trouble

[C.P.]

I've seen some books in stores around a week early. From what I understand it usually isn't a big deal for them as long as it's not something huge like Harry Potter. At least, that's what the people I know who work there said.

[Melany]

I can't wait!!

[Tati]

I've got it on my Kindle! I just have to finish the book I'm reading now, which should take 30 minutes, and then I'm diving into this

[Tati]

6% (view spoiler)[ Woah, Kaz is ruthless with that little girl (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Mine is on the way! I probably won't be able to start until tonight because I have to work, but I'm so excited to get started!

[Tati]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ boy, that sure looks claustrophobic (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

End of part 1 (view spoiler)[ Geez, that was close!! (hide spoiler)]

I've started (view spoiler)[ holy shit that was brutal!!! But also got a hint that Kaz has a soft spot for little girls. He didn't kill when it could have been easier and he killed the clerk because he was blackmailing the girl at the Menagerie. He so messed up in the head but I can't help but love him!! Also I kinda have a feeling that Van Eck has Inej in the broken down amusement park that is in Wylan's name. Watch me be wrong but thats what I think (hide spoiler)]

[Melany]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[Oh no is something going to happen to Jasper's dad?!? (hide spoiler)]

[Melany]

End of part 1 (view spoiler)[ omg I was so worried about Inej!!! And she doesn't believe that she's really worth anything to Kaz. I'm only 60 pages in and already my heart can't take it!! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

It's here!! And now that I'm off work I can start!

[Melany]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I love how all of the characters are convinced that Kaz is a demon who clawed his way out of hell and I also thought the scene with Kaz and Jasper's dad was hilarious because I can just imagine Kaz seeming composed and calm when he's actually seething with anger and I'm really worried Nina what's happening to her? (hide spoiler)]

Yay!!! Prepare for heartache

[Melany]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[I loved that Inej channeled Kaz when she found out Kaz outsmarted Van Eck and I'm so worried about Nina and Matthias. Also finally a Kaz chapter!! (hide spoiler)]

[Melany]

End of part 2 (view spoiler)[OMG they just got Inej back and now they have to deal with the shy?!?! So now they have to deal with Van Eck, Pekkka Rollins, the Shu and (I bet) the druskelle. We'll as least the dream team is back together! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through part one. (view spoiler)[I really expected Kaz to kill that girl, honestly. Glad he didn't though.

It's nice to get inside Wylan's head a bit now.

Inej is tough. But they need to get her! (hide spoiler)]

[Melany]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[Nina and Matthias are so cute but more importantly ZOYA?!?!? (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

52% (view spoiler)[ O-kay, we've officially hit the part were everything goes wrong...

Also, Wylan and Jesper, can you please follow Nina and Matthias' lead? Please and thank you. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

End of chapter 18: gaaaaaaah, my nerves!!

[Tati]

End of chapter 20: I'm rocking in the corner, this is getting to be too much for my nerves

[Tati]

End of chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ is it me or is Kaz unraveling a bit here? Also, I'm really curious to know what's happened to his leg (even though I love the cane) (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through chapter 8. (view spoiler)[Alys is really annoying.

And I felt so sad in this last Matthias chapter. :(

And I wonder what will happen with Jesper's dad. (hide spoiler)]

[enqi ☾⋆˚*̣̩✩]

just wanted to ask who loves matthias here? :^( since so many people seem to hate him and he just deserves all the love

[Tati]

I do!!! He wasn't the nicest character at first, but he definitely grew on me!

I'd have to say I like the whole gang, though

[Tati]

64% (view spoiler)[ Darn it, Jesper!!! Now you've really stuck your foot in it with Wylan!

Also, I kinda hate Bardugo for toying with me like this! (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

End of chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ Kaz is just so... Broken... (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through part two. (view spoiler)[What's with these winged people? And all the metal? Creepy. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

69% (view spoiler)[ I may or may not be developing a bit of a cane fetish LOL (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

76% (view spoiler)[ Okay, so far we've got special appearances from Genya, Zoya, Tamar and Sturmhond/Nikolai (his little scene with Kaz about the auction was amazing! Loved that. I doubt Alina will show up, as she is """dead""" (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ Oh, Kaz... I really hope he can overcome this trauma of his with touch. (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through part three. (view spoiler)[I can't believe Wylan's mother had been alive this entire time. What a creep of a father he has.

I like thay we're getting more of Wylan, Jesper, and Matthias' stories. There's a lot of sadness there though.

And those dreams of Matthias', I really don't like those dreams. It can't mean anything good. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

82% - do I dare to breathe now?

[C.P.]

You probably shouldn't. I haven't gotten there, but with that much left something is sure to go horribly wrong before anything can go right.

[Tati]

Thing is, I don't know what else can go wrong!!
