Now that Cardan is King, many challenges arise that threaten his reign and Jude’s plans. Jude may have met her match…
# 🔍 How I Discovered It
As I enjoyed the first book, I decided to continue the series.
# 🧠 Thoughts
- Wow. The plot twist in this book really threw me. I wanted to cry and scream at the same time! So well crafted with intricate plots of betrayal and devious plans. So amazing! 5 stars!
## What I Liked About It
- The intense plot twist in this book.
- The constant slow burn/longing that Holly Black creates for the readers to ship Jude & Cardan.
- Intricately clever and thorough plots.
## What I Didn't Like About It
- Would love a little more spice but honestly, this is just a preference. The book has parts that get pretty hot, then fade to black.
# 🥰 Who Would Like It?
- People who like intricate plots with insane twists that make you want to scream.
- Those who like very intelligent, devious, and morally grey characters.
- If you want to read a fantasy book that isn’t predictable and has in-depth characters.
Moderate: Violence and Slavery
Minor: Sexual content
