Twisted, dark romantasy with morally grey characters. Fun and easy to read. Writing is better than in the first.

I loved The Cruel Prince so much, but by gosh, I loved The Wicked King so much more. Every page made me love Cardan and Jude so much more. The way his character continually grew from the lazy, petulant boy to the king he is at the end of the book is amazing and beautiful and I love him so much for it. But I do not like the way he played my girl Jude.
