📖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.

This book was fun
A nice ending to the series, although a little rushed.
I didnt think Taryns arc felt that deserving
Jude and Cardan finally being in love is satisfying tho

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.
