Even the simplest lines come out beautiful. Alexandra Christo has such a beautiful writing style, that never fails to impress me. Let’s talk about what makes it stand out.

I would say Into the Crooked Place is (so far) a mix of Six of Crows and The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi.īut enough about what this book reminds me of. The characters and the main city we find ourselves in really do remind me of that series, but it’s different enough to make this book stand out on it’s own and not be a simple carbon copy. Okay now back to me fangirling over this book. That said, the book starts off pretty strong so don’t be concerned that it’s really slow. The only possible negative I can think of right now is that this world is so rich and detailed that there is a lot to learn once you’re thrown into it, which can make the beginning feel a little slow. The Badįirst, I want to start with any negatives I can come up with. But I’ll talk more about that in a minute. It has the same gritty fantasy setting, filled with smart criminal characters who are forced to team up, except I would argue that these characters are a little less morally gray then the crows.

I wasn’t kidding when I said Into the Crooked Place is like a new Six of Crows in the title. Because of that, I definitely have really high expectations for Into the Crooked Place, but so far, it seems to be meeting them! When I read To Kill A Kingdom last year, I never expected to love it as much as I did, and it became one of my all time favorites. Into the Crooked Place is one of my most anticipated releases of the year.
