help Crooked Kingdom FAQ
Do I need to read Six of Crows before Crooked Kingdom?
Yes, Crooked Kingdom begins after Kaz Brekker's crew returns from the Ice Court and is betrayed by merchant Jan Van Eck. Six of Crows establishes the six central characters, jurda parem, and the unfinished bargain that drives the sequel.
Why is Kuwei Yul-Bo so important in Crooked Kingdom?
Kuwei knows how his father created jurda parem, a drug that dangerously amplifies Grisha powers. Kaz uses an auction for Kuwei's indenture as part of an elaborate scheme against Van Eck and the international powers gathering in Ketterdam.
Is Crooked Kingdom the final Kaz and Inej book?
The 2016 novel completes the main Six of Crows duology, but its characters remain part of Leigh Bardugo's larger Grishaverse. Kaz, Inej, and the other Crows also appear or are referenced elsewhere in that connected setting.
Does Crooked Kingdom take place at the Ice Court again?
No, most of the novel unfolds in Ketterdam, where the Crows fight Jan Van Eck, Pekka Rollins, and the city's political establishment. Its cons involve locations such as the Geldstraat, Van Eck's properties, and the Church of Barter rather than another Fjerda heist.
