Crooked Kingdom
Leigh Bardugo
OHMYGOSH I NEEEEDDDD ITTTTTTT
************************************************************************************
Synopsis:
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.

I don't have any teasers yet, as the cover has been released this past week, but if you want more information, check out this great interview with the author, Leigh Bardugo: Crooked Kingdom Interview
Aaaaannndd if you're as excited as I am, you can preorder it here and here.
Seriously guys, if you haven't yet read Six of Crows, please, please, please start it, like yesterday. It's a fantastic, epic novel, and I can't wait to get my hands on the second and final book of this duology. I really hope Bardugo doesn't write any more books in this series - she's planned for two, and one thing I've learned with all this reading is that when authors continue on in a series because the readers have asked for it, it's never turned out too well. Forcing creativity never really does, in my experience. When a story ends, it ends. I must admit, I'm nervous for the end of Crooked Kingdom, mainly because not everyone is going to survive.
Oh, and the pages are going to be stained again - not sure what color yet, but they will be. And isn't that cover just amazing? Fits in perfectly with the series.
September 22nd, are you here yet??
UPDATE:
Thanks to my subscription to Bardugo's email newsletters, I actually do have a teaser for you! It's short, but awesome.

"You're no monster.You're the man who sits idly by, congratulating yourself on your decency, while the monster eats his fill."
