The Queen of Nothing is pure chaos and sinful tension and I devoured every second of it. Jude and Cardan? They lie, they betray, they burn each other alive just to feel something and I’m right there giggling like a problem.

There are daggers pressed to throats and hands tangled in hair. It’s whispered promises that sound like threats and threats that sound like love confessions. Jude would ruin the world for him and he’d let her and they’d both laugh about it after.

Enemies to lovers done right is sharp, soft, and so wrong it’s right and this is exactly that. Stolen crowns, stolen kisses, stolen dignity (mine)

and that one scene with Cardan and Jude is just ARGHHH!!!!

Long live the Queen and long live the monster she married.

I’d read it again and I recommend you read it!

A really great end to the trilogy. It was a bit slow at some points but I still had a fun time.
