Crooked Kingdom gave me the worst book hangover I've ever endured. I loved it so much and I didn't want it to end!

I love this: "A Ghafa never performs with a net," Inej said indignantly. "Does a Ghafa frequently perform twenty stories above cobblestones after being held prisoner for a week?" (Nina) "There will be a net," said Kaz. "It's in place behind the silo guardhouse already, under a stack of saddlebags." The silence in the tomb was sudden and complete. Inej couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I don't need a net." Kaz consulted his watch. "Didn't ask."

omg when kaz called jesper "jordie"!!!! jesper and kaz are totally brothers and i died.

I love when Nina uses her new found power to bring Mathias back just for a moment for him to say her name, "Nina." Ugh such a beautiful moment, I cried honestly, I just loved the way he died and her reaction, beautiful.

Can we talk about Jesper and Kaz's friendship????

I am team KAZ and INEJ they are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ship Inej and Kaz so hard, but I have to say the ending was perfect, anything else wouldn't have fit. I didn't love Wylan in this first book, but in Crooked Kingdom, he grew to be one of my favorites! oh and Jesper is definitely my spirit animal too.

I would love too see kaz spin off too love him

i didn't read the shadow and bone series and i read this duology and i understood everything that was happening! there wasn't anything that confused me

I personally read six of crows & crooked kingdom before Shadow and Bone, and I'm quite happy about it. If I would've started with the Grisha trilogy, I think I would've stopped. I really didn't enjoy shadow and bone, while soc & crooked kingdom are now two of my all time favs. Also: Yes, I need some spin-offs, too. But I need one for each of them. I'm just not ready to let these characters go 😥

SPOILER I was at work (I sit at a reception gets boring) when I near enough finished the book and Matthias's death had me in tears and my boss was walking about and I had to pull myself together and I'm thankful the phone didn't ring and no one spoke to me I would have burst out crying ahah. I named my betta fish Matthias after him😂

yessssss a Nina story would be everything! that's honestly the first thing i thought when Matthias was killed. i need more Nina in my life and i want her to have an amazing and happy life.

Ugh the last chapter with inej, I need more!!!!!

THAT'S EXACTLY ME WITH THE CAT!! I loved this review of yours. :) I'm so hyped up after finishing CK this past weekend, and I CANNOT STOP loving these characters and wanting more. The ending left me feeling empty thinking there wouldn't be anymore, but I must hold onto the hope. Everyone seems to want more so maybe Leigh will oblige? ;A; But the ending also left me so happy, and I literally raced through the end of the book. I couldn't put it down. I was so sad & then immediately jumping out of my chair at the end. Anytime I put the book down to eat or something I was just so full of energy and excitement haha. :') I need more of this world!! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much as well. :) This is probably my favorite book now! I haven't had a "new" favorite book since middle school! (I'm 21 now.)

I AM REALLY REALLY LOVING YOUR SPOILER REVIEWS. I WATCHED YOUR HEARTLESS REVIEW AND IT WAS REALLY COOL!! U ARE INDEED A VERY GOOD SPEAKER!! ALSO, I NOTICED THAT U RECENTLY HIT 91K SUBSCRIBERS!! THAT'S AWESOME!! LOVE YA!! KEEP GOING!!

Jesper is my favorite. I'd love a spin off with him.

you are amazing at reviewing books!! I have so many feels about this book!! IT RIPPED MY HEART OUT AND THEN PUT IT BACK TOGETHER!!! I JUST LOVED IT AND I WANT MORE!!!

Your reaction to the cat may be the most relatable thing I've ever seen on KZfaq 😂.

The friendship between all of the characters was so perfect though

I loved this book so much and OMG that Kaz and Inej scene nearly broke me I have read it so many times over again. I didn't read the Shadow and Bone series before this one and I don't think I missed out because Leigh Bardugo created such a vivid world with such complex and interesting characters I was too busy trying to form opinions on all of them!

RIGHT?? that Nina and Nikolai spinoff would make me life

that's the best part of this duology. the characters. The plotline is amazing as well, but with YA books for me it somehow always loses one over the other, like plot over characters or vice versa. but with Six of crows duology, it was just perfect in every aspect except the fact that it shouldnt have ended T^T !!! The characters were SO beautiful, their relationship to each other and as a group urghh .. and ofcourse. KAZ. damn. the boy got me shook. and I dont get as attached to male leads as i did with kaz. perfect. I actually need a kaz and inej spin off in addition to nina and nikoli hehe

I really love your spoiler discussions Hailey! So glad you're doing them now

CROOKED KINGDOM = PERFECTION

I need a Kaz and Inej spin off and a Nina spin off.

I adore this book with everything I am. I loved every little thing about it and if given the chance, I could talk about it for hours and hours and hours. I love how this story wrapped up, I felt like it was so well done and the characters all went through so much and they all grew from it and I really hope we see them again in future books. PS: I love these spoilery discussions, especially because you get so into it, it's really wonderful to see.

Just picked it up at the library yesterday, pulled an all-nighter and finished it at 5:30 this morning. Holy cow that was a rollercoaster ride.

Your fangirling (and dying) was just too funny XD But I reacted the same way

Ohh I finished the book today and I'm dead. I need some spin-offs or something, just give me anything!! Btw I love your bookshelf, it's beautiful :)

I LOVE YOUR HAMILTON SHIRT SO MUCHHHHH!!!!

I may have watched the whole thing even though I haven't read the book yet... oops. Nvm I've never been bothered about spoilers it stops me from rushing through the books (I'm that person that looks at the last page half way through the book)

*SPOILER ALERT* Ahh the characters in this book are just... amaaazing! My favourite is Inej! I love her so much! Also at one point I was like, someone has to die to make the story (even more) real and then the Matthias moment happened and I was like NO NO NO NO NO. LIKE NO. JUST NO. omg this book was just. amazing. like. amaaaaaaazing. I can`t.

Love your spoiler review! It was sooo much fun.

Loved the discussion part, Hailey ❤ I totally agree. This sequel is phenomenal! And a Nina - Nikolaj spin off is a great idea. I'm kind of sure Leigh Bardugo is going to do something with Nina in the future, since she said she's going to write more books in the Grisha universe and I think she didn't leave us with such an open ending without a reason 😉 In my opinion it's better to have read the Grisha trilogy before the Six of Crows duology in case you really want to understand the magic system. (Otherwise it doesn't matter, I think.)

these are my feeling exactly, I'm still in shock of what happened

a lot of people say that we don't need to read the Grisha Trilogy before SoC but didn't we get spoiled about Alina getting martyred!!? Who'd want to pick up a series if they already know that the main character dies in the end? I don't want to read Shadow and Bone trilogy now. But I might pick it up in future just to read more about Nikolai.

I've never seen you quite this giddy with excitement! I may just have to read this duology!

I didn't know I needed Nina and Nikolai together until you mentioned it but YES! I need it now!

oh my god yes i waited so long for this review 😍❤

I agree 100% it’s really rare to love a sequel more than the 1st book but I love this book way more than I love Six of Crows (and I loved it).

My favorite parts of the book included pages 1-536. Also, I think that if you are considering reading this book before the shadow and bone trilogy, you should know that it won't spoil or worsen your experience with the duology whatsoever, but you may miss a few Easter eggs and hints. I personally think that reading the shadow and bone trilogy before is a good idea. Btw, loved the review Hailey!!!!!

Nina is my favorite, too! She does not get enough love! Awesome review :)

THIS BOOK IS MY PRECIOUS BABY AND WHEN I SAW YOU GUSHING ABOUT THIS AND I WAS JUST LIKE OMG YES ME

I have recently read Six of Crows and I can't wait to pick this up!

And.. The spin-off with Nikolai and Nina is actually happening! I LITERALLY cannot wait for King of Scars to come out!

You look a lot like how I pictured Nina!

also I haven't read the Shadow and Bone series but I did read Six of Crows duology and it honestly isn't necessary.

YES A NINA SPIN-OFF YES PLEASE! And I would LOVE that ship, even their names match (kinda), if it were to happen, I'd die happy!

Ahhh I loved this review and how into it you are. It was everything!!

Just wanted to say I like the new thumbnail style and the profile picture and banner change

My favourite thing about this book is the character development 😌😊❤️

So now that you have a Nina and Nikolai story...?

it's funny how you love nina when you could really cast urself as nina for soc movie adaptation!!

GAH I LOVED THIS BOOK!! A Nina spinoff would be AMAZING!!!!!!

I also loved to meet Genya, Zoya and Nikolai again buuut gosch matthias death was the worst part and I sobbed so much 😭

I always love hearing your reviews on popular books, I also LOVED Nina and felt like she was the most fleshed out character in the book. I also did a review of this duology if you wanted to give it a look :) I'm a new booktuber

Actually, you look exactly like Nina as I imagined her. That's miraculous. Maybe this is you like her so much? :)

i love your energy while reading this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where I live it isn't out yet, I don't know what to do with my life I basically just sit there waiting and checking online to see if it is now available. On my bookstore's website it says that it will be out in june. Aaaaaahhh I need it in my life omg I can't waaaiiiiit

People don’t talk about how amazing Matthias and Nina are enough and that makes me sad

YESSSS my favorite is NINAAA!!! and her and N...... OMGGG

im sorry but the part where you try to pronounce fjerda literally made me laugh out loud omgggg 😂😂😂

King of scars is about nina, Zoya and Nikolai

You are now how I will forever picture Nina. You are Nina. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW AND SPOILER DISCUSSION BE LIKE

Kazz can tell emotion. Yay!

7:51 (in the spoiler section so b careful) is literally my entire life. i totally had the same reaction in my wrap up haha

Love both Six of crows and crooked kingdom. Have you read Aerie & Will you do a review of Becky Albertali's SImon vs the homosapiens agenda???

I wanted a bit of romance between kaz and inej 😭😭... It was overall perfect

IN KING OF SCARS NIKOlAI AND NINA ARE GONNA FALL IN LOOOOOVE

yes i agree. this is better than six of crow. but im sorry darling coz i just cant feel for Nina...or Matthias✌✌✌

Hi Hailey! First of all I would like to tell you how much I like your videos. Could you recommend any books that are similar to the six of crows duologue please?

Have you read king of scars ? If you did , how was it ?

I love you and your videos ❤ But you pronounced Inej and Matthias wrong, so I was a bit confused there for a sec, like my brain has gotten so used to listening to the right pronounciation from the audiobook 😂😂

Which camera and video editor do you use?

The correct pronunciation is ma tye as

So do i need to read six of crows first?

ok so 1 question I wanted to ask. Is it necessary to read grisha trilogy before starting this duology? because i heard some ppl say that to get better understanding of this world u will have to read grisha trilogy first? anyone?

hey Hailey,my name is Valentina and i love you videos, you made me loveee reading so thak you..My quesstion is can you make live stream video here on youtube,that would be lovely! Love you so mouch ,kisses from me ♥♪♥
