Lady Geeks’ Society Podcast | Episode XII: ‘Crooked Kingdom’ Review

Lady Geeks' Society Podcast Logo for Episode XII, Grishavese's Crooked Kingdom review.

On this week’s episode of Lady Geeks’ Society Podcast, we’re talking all about the romance and ships in Leigh Bardugo’s Crooked Kingdom. There are spoilers to both books and the Shadow and Bone series now on Netflix.

This might not be in the romance genre, but we love the ships just as much as we do in our romance novels, and we have some lengthy thoughts about the death trope along with why this is one of the stories where it still works in spite of how much we hate it.

*Trigger Warning for mentions of rape, sexual assault, and violence.
