After reading the first two books and rating them both five stars I was nervous this one would not hold up. While it was not my favorite of the trilogy it definitely held up and was an excellent conclusion to all of the story set up in the first two books. I had no lingering questions, and while I would always want more time with these characters I think it ended perfectly.

Not even a third of the way through, I was certain this book would exceed my love for the first book and I was right. I love the growth of the characters and watching both Jude and Cardan learn how to shed the lessons they learned about themselves and love from their toxic parental figures, learn how to have ambition without greed, and learn how to find their strength in their vulnerabilities. I was reluctant to finish this book because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story. 

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.

This was the perfect ending to the perfect story.

When I first start reading The Cruel Prince I was not expecting to fall in love so dearly for this story. But everything about it made me keep reading it: the world creation is amazing, the intricacy of the story line, the political wars, the love, the fear, the hate... I was seriously committed to these characters and what would happen to them.

I'm very glad it ended the way it did. Can't wait to read more books by Holly Black.
