Had me from the cover!
Anything filled with magic and I’m there! This magical book did NOT disappoint.
The book kind of gave me similar vibes to the Six of Crows series - a group of outcasts come together, full of crime and magic. To start with these similarities really had me worried. I panicked that the whole way through I’d be thinking “oh I know what will happen here”, but this book truly had me on the edge of my seat. Any time I thought I’d guessed where it was going, the story changed. Not only that but I found it SO easy to read. With some young adult fantasy books I struggle to keep track of everything’s that is happening. I find myself reading pages over and over and flicking back pages to see if I missed something but that didn’t happen with Into the Crooked Place. It just had such an easy flow to it. I often read chapter to chapter with small breaks in between but it was so easy to read that I just kept going and going and going.
I loved that while this book had a lot of action, it had a lot of emotion too. Nostalgia over realms the characters ran from, their lost families, their lost childhoods. I felt the pain of every single character but also felt the strength of those characters for getting through all they have.
I have yet to actually finish the book but I’m veeeery near to the end.
I absolutely loved this book, I would definitely recommend it and I’ll definitely read it again! Thank you Readers First for introducing me to this book!
