This was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it much more than the first in the series. There seemed a lot more action and we got to see what a faerie wedding looked like which I enjoyed. Lots of trickery in this one but I feel like you got to know the characters on a much more personal level.

God DAMN. Ten plot twist na końcu?? Zdecydowanie lepsze niż pierwsza część, nieważne ile tam rzeczy by mi zgrzytało mogę przymknąć oko z czystym sumieniem. Naprawdę lubię te serię :)

I was thoroughly entertained. The enemies were enemying, the lovers were lovering. And trying to keep up with Jude's schemes was a nice challenge. Can't wait to see what happens in the next book and
how valid their marriage is. I'm still not entirely convinced.

Jude is like the adviser of Cardan in ruling over the Faerie world. I can't really explain what happened in this book because it took me longer to read than the cruel prince, it just wasn't holding my attention and finals exam happened. At the end of the book, Cardan proposed a marriage to Jude so he could be free from her commands but betrayed her in the final page.

I'm just having fun with the vibes in this book, I read the words but I'm not always understanding the words on the page.
