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.

I still really liked this book. No major downsides! It definitely could have been longer. This series really got me into political fantasy. As a final statement: I hope they all get some SERIOUS therapy after this
