Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and left crippled by the kidnapping of a valuable team member, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the Grisha world.
And on to Leigh's post!
"I think one of my favorite things about working on Crooked Kingdom was getting to know Jesper and his family better. Jesper's childhood and his relationships with his mother and father are so important to the way he views himself and his abilities now. We also get to spend a little time in Novyi Zem in Jesper's flashbacks, and it could not be more different from Ketterdam "

ReplyDeleteOne of the many, many things that I've been looking forward to in Crooked Kingdom is learning more about the characters, especially Jesper! This book is going to be amazing!

ReplyDeleteI really need to read both these books. These Grisha books sound fantastic and a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteJesper! <3 I wonder if those cards are printed, like how Victoria Schwab has character cards? That would be AWESOME. :D I can't wait to read Crooked Kingdom! =)

ReplyDeleteJesper, in my opinion, is the shadiest dreg. I feel like I know more about Wylan and he doesn't even have a POV in Six of Crows. Excited to know more !!
ReplyDeleteI really wanna know more about Jesper's family and past. Do they know about his "abilities"? I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteCrooked Kingdom, once you're published, I will find you and I will read you.

I just adore Jesper! I cannot wait to get to know his past more in Crooked Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for Crooked Kingdom! I've been rereading Six of Crows in preparation for it and I was thinking how it would be great to get some more backstory on Jesper so now I'm really excited :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, Jesper is my absolute favourites. I can't wait to get his backstory! It also blows my mind to think that Mal and Alina met him before Six of Crows when they went to Novyi Zem

ReplyDeleteJesper's character is so interesting I can't wait to find out more about him and the rest of the dregs in CK!!!!
ReplyDeleteJesper is my favorite character! I'm simultaneously excited and terrified for this book, but I can't wait to learn more about Jesper's background!
ReplyDeleteI am so bloody eager for Crooked Kingdom. I utterly loved Six of Crows!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for this book!
ReplyDeleteI am SO hype to read more about Jesper. His Fabrikator powers? His cool guns? His farmboy past? His fat crush on Wylan? SIGN ME UP
ReplyDeleteJesper is awesome! I liked his attitude so much! I can't wait for the next book!
ReplyDeleteI think Jesper is a bit less memorable than the other characters in the book. I'm curious to learn more about him in the next book.
ReplyDeleteI loved getting the tidbits of Jesper's past life in SoC. Seeing that he is one of my favorite characters, I hope we get more of him in Crooked Kingdom. I hope we get to see some of his homeland, that would be so cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to find out more about Jesper's backstory! I don't feel like we got to know all that much about where he comes from in the first book.
ReplyDeletelove Jesper flirting with Wylan. It’s so cute! I hope we get more in dept with his character in the next book!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to learning more about Jesper in Crooked Kingdom, can't wait for the books release.
ReplyDeleteMore about Jesper and his past?! I didn't know I could get more excited about CK! Jesper and I share the same sense of humor so I really love his character
ReplyDeleteJesper reminds me of Leo from Heroes of Olympus, sometimes. They're both giddy when it comes to the things they love, and they're just brilliant at it. Though, there are some downsides to their attitude.. winkwink Jesper's gambling addiction..
ReplyDeleteI loved Jesper in Six of Crows so much, I can't wait to learn more about his backstory in Crooked Kingdom! ~ Danielle D.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jesper!! I'm so excited to learn more about him. When you first meet him in Six of Crows, I would have never guessed he's a farm boy. I need to know more!
ReplyDeleteI really hope that Jesper does more things as a Grisha in CK!
ReplyDeletePoor Jesper has really gotten himself into trouble. We only catch small glimpses of Jesper allowing the gravity of his situation to sink in, to be rational and accept responsibility for what he's done to his father's farm financially. Like Kaz, he's blundered by being so naive, so careless, but he's trying to dig himself back out of trouble with his job. I wonder if the desperation will make him more reckless in Crooked Kingdom, will steal his humor. I guess we'll see. - scolt81
ReplyDeleteI reaaalllyyy want to learn more about Jesper's past! I feel like he is such a mysterious character!! Can't wait to read Crooked Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteI seriously cant wait to start reading this book (I now OFFICIALLY have it in my hands!~)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved Jesper and how he fantastic he is.
Need to learn more about him (and his love life ;)
I received my first copy of this in the mail today, and my signed copy should be here by next week. I can't wait to dive in.
ReplyDeleteCrooked Kingdom sounds so interesting! I will definitely read it.
ReplyDeleteI feel like we didn't get a whole lot of Jesper's back story in SoC, so I'm excited to see more of it in CK!
ReplyDelete~Grace Radford-Tingley
Jesper reminds me in a way of all of the impulsive, physical, easily distracted boys I've taught over the years. He's very believable.
ReplyDeleteIIt's finally here! I'm excited/scared!
ReplyDeleteJesper is so precious, and reading Crooked Kingdom is reminding me of why I love him so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm about a quarter of the way through Crooked Kingdom and I'm loving it!!
ReplyDeleteCrooked Kingdom was amazing!
ReplyDeleteJesper is an amazing character!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we find out more about Jesper and his backstory!
ReplyDelete—Natalie Monroe
I loved jesper in six of crows but when we got to find out so many more in depth details about jesper and his last I was so happy and loved him even more, he really is such a great character to read about !
ReplyDeleteAhh, I loved Jesper and Wylan in the first book and I can't wait to see them in CK!
ReplyDeleteThe characters were so complex and compelling! I can't wait to see how they develop!
ReplyDeleteGooorgeous blog tour post Jaime :D Thank you for sharing. <3 Hugs. I aaadore these books. Though I haven't been brave enough to read Crooked Kingdom yet, lol. Soon, though :D And eee, Jesper is so cute. I cannot wait to read more about him :) He's awesome.
