Going into this book I thought that it would be a fun read, I had enjoyed Christo’s first book ‘To Kill A Kingdom’ and when I read the blurb for ‘Into The Crooked Place’ I didn’t hesitate to request it.

The characters are all intriguing, with their own secrets and are all a little bit crazy in some way. But I think that living in Creiji, a city that seems to be ruled by crime and illegal magic. The four main characters all deal with illegal magic and the criminal underworld of the city in some way, from being one of the leaders, reluctant busker, fighter/bodyguard and a bartender that’s got a secret that might just change everything and all of their lives.

I enjoyed reading this book but I wouldn’t say that it was amazing. It was a fun read that was very enjoyable, although I did think that it dragged a bit at times.

I really liked the character dynamics in this book. The four main characters all begrudgingly worked together, I really liked that none of them got on or even liked at least one other character and only put up with them because they were important to someone else that they did care about or because the were important to the “mission”.

And the pining. Oh, the pining was great. It was so well done and I loved it.

I think that my favourite character was Wesley.

I felt like there was a large amount of character development, the plot was very character driven, but I felt like there wasn’t enough world building. I couldn’t really imagine some of the places in this book that well either, I would have liked a bit more detail and description.

Even though I liked this book I’m not sure if I’m that interested in reading more in this series. The ending was really good, but I’m just not sure if I’m that bothered about seeing where the story is going. I’m not dying to read the next book but I might do when it comes out.
