Crooked Kingdom

This book is the second part of a duology which means it's going to be difficult to review without giving away spoilers. But I'm going to try it anyway. It's better if you imagine this book like an urban fantasy version of Ocean's Eleven. It's this weird adventure story about a group of friends trying to save one of their own and then go on to con a bunch of business people out of their money.

The characterization is one of the things I love so much about this book. The characters feel so real. They all feel like genuine people. And they all have their own flaws and quirks. Not only that it's a diverse range of characters. From the colour of their skin to sexuality. It's not made obvious but these characters aren't all stick thin as well which is a big thing in a fantasy book.

I don't really know what else I can say about this. I love this story and I love these characters. But two books isn't anywhere near enough to tell all their stories.
