I started reading The Cruel Prince and finished it the same day. I immediately picked up the next book and continued reading. This series really sucked me in and wouldn't let go. I read the 3 books in 3 days and I love them all!

It was totally different to what I expected but still amazing. I didn't think it would be so natury and also brutal. This book honestly turned around lots of my expectations about myself. If I had known before what this book is about I would probably have thought that it's too brutal for me and too much political intruige. While reading I really didn't mind though. I actually really enjoyed it.

And The Queen of Nothing was definitely the finale I hoped it would be!! I was really scared that Holly Black wouldn't be able to find a satisfying conclusion to all the drama intruige and betrayal - and yet she did. I loved the ending and I love this whole series. It is so unique and I am so glad that I have read it.

Holly Black, you’ve done it again. The massive conflict between the Crown and Judes father, who commands an army of his own. There are several surprises in store in this book, as well as a truly stunning transformation for Carden. I really loved this book, and I’m very sad the series is over. 10/10 would recommend.
