Read-alikes
Crooked Kingdom is morally grey, found family & slow burn — sweet (1/5), multi-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
Back in Ketterdam after a heist gone sideways, Kaz Brekker and his crew of misfits find themselves double-crossed, hunted, and nearly out of options. To survive — and to bring down the corrupt merchant Jan Van Eck along with the gangster Pekka Rollins — Kaz must orchestrate a web of overlapping cons, each more audacious than the last, while his crew's fractured bonds and personal wounds are pushed to their limits.
