Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
5.0

So I put off reading this book for 4(!) years because I’d seen a spoiler somewhere that hinted that a certain someone wasn’t going to make it and I just didn’t want that to be real. Now I have read it and even though I knew it was coming it still hurt SO BAD 😭 I’m still crying. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

This book made me laugh like a maniac and cry tears of sorrow and joy and gasp in surprise and amazement and feel stress and anxiety and I’m not recovering any time soon. My heart is broken but these characters somehow managed to leave me with so much hope for their futures that it eases the pain a little. The break might never mend properly but that doesn’t mean my heart won’t be able to beat as hard ❤️‍🩹

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
