Reviews with content warning for Torture - The Queen of Nothing

📖Queen of Nothing by Holly Black📖

✨Book Review✨

“With you, I am forever undone.”

This is the third book on “The Cruel Prince” series that follows Jude Duarte as the new High Queen of Elfhame. The story is more dangerous and tenacious. The political world was in chaos because of Cardan’s Reign and the prophecy. It was cunning yet I love every detail of it all. The betrayal probably is the most topic of it all. The slow burn sexual tension of Jude and Cardan was so frustrating. I thought there will be more since this was the last one but nothing. I expected so much but I was actually disappointed. But nonetheless, it was still such a great story.

bon..
d'un côté, il y a des passages qui étaient vraiment chouettes et le développement des personnages a continué à être intéressant, bien que pas toujours très réaliste.
de l'autre, c'était BEAUCOUP TROP rapide, les scènes s'enchaînent et les choses se dénouent de manière assez peu réaliste.

finalement, le moment le plus long est le moment de la malédiction, alors qu'il aurait pu être bien plus court pour laisser la place aux scènes d'action, par exemple.

j'ai un peu l'impression d'avoir perdu mon temps avec cette trilogie, j'ai lu pire certes mais j'ai lu mieux aussi en terme de fantastique YA.

bref, bien que des passages m'aient plu et que l'univers m'ait un peu captivé, je ne recommande pas. ça ne vaut clairement pas la hype qu'on en fait.

I know many people love these books, but I can not say the same. I did not mind the past two books, but before I read this one, I read Pride and Prejudice. The writing style of this book is nothing compared to Pride and Prejudice. The way it is written is suitable for those who don’t read often or younger kids. Plus, personally I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy, it is not believable. I didn’t grow a connection with the characters and I’ve never read a story on whatpadd, but this felt like a whatpadd story. It was not boring though which is why I gave it three stars.
