Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo

Another amazingly well-paced heist book by Leigh Bardugo. Crooked Kingdom picks up right after Six of Crow, so I recommend reading that one first, just to get a sense of the stakes and how injured all the characters still are.

I really love a heist book and Bardugo wraps so much action into her books it’s hard to tell where the traditional book structure is. What is the inciting incident? Where does Act 2 start and end? Just so much well-crafted story to immerse yourself in.

Other than their boundless amounts of energy and lack of needing sleep, I often forgot this team was teenagers.

There is a moment towards the end of the book where the team fakes a plague and boy, was that part so accurately written. It was uncanny. - Ford
