Pages: 560

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.

And on to Leigh's post!

 Leigh Barguo on Jesper

"I think one of my favorite things about working on Crooked Kingdom was getting to know Jesper and his family better. Jesper's childhood and his relationships with his mother and father are so important to the way he views himself and his abilities now. We also get to spend a little time in Novyi Zem in Jesper's flashbacks, and it could not be more different from Ketterdam "

About Leigh:
Leigh Bardugo is the #1 New York Times bestselling and USA Today bestselling author of Six of Crows (awarded starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, VOYA, SLJ, and the BCCB) and the Grisha Trilogy: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, and Ruin and Rising. She was born in Jerusalem, grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from Yale University, and has worked in advertising, journalism, and most recently, makeup and special effects. These days, she lives and writes in Hollywood where she can occasionally be heard singing with her band.

Top Ten Tuesday (59)- My Ten Characters Everyone Loves But I Just Don't Get, the Love Interest Edition

Hi thanks for stopping by!!! And welcome to my Top 10 Tuesday post! 

Thanks to the lovely ladies at The Broke And The Bookish for creating this weekly meme!

Here's this week's topic.

March 8: Ten Characters Everyone Loves But I Just Don't Get 

I'm going to make this list more specific than just characters I don't like. I'm going to go with love interests.

1. Peeta from The Hunger Games series. Sorry y'all I just never saw his appeal. Although I never liked Gale either. I always loved Finnick *sobs*

2. Adam from the Shatter Me series. Team Warner all the way! I thought Adam was annoying.


3. Jonas from the Falling Kingdoms series. Yep Team Magnus all the way!

4. Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I'm probably going to get a lot of crap for this one but I truly do not like his character! I only kept reading the book for the other POV's. Especially Matthais and Nina.

5. Tamlin from Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns And Roses. I preferred Lucien and Rhys.

6. Luc from Page Morgan's The Dispossessed series. I am definitely a Nolan girl!

7. Jack from Kresley Cole's The Arcana Chronicles. I can't stand Jack! I love Death (Aric).

8. Morpheus from A.G. Howard's Splintered series. Sorry don't get the appeal. Team Jeb for life!

9. Maxon from Kiera Cass's The Selection series. Probably going to get crap for this one too! But sorry I'm an Aspen girl. Also I DNF'd the last book because I figured out the ending and who she was going to end up with by page 13!

10. Jack from Brodi Ashton's Everneath series. Again I just don't get his appeal. I loved Cole from the moment I met him.

So what about you? What are your favorite fantasy books? And check back next week for my Ten Books On My Spring TBR.
