The Wicked King by Holly Black

5.0

THAT ENDING. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.

When I began, the story started off slower than I had anticipated, however, around a quarter of the way through I was hooked.

It’s interesting to see the power dynamics between Jude and Cardan and to watch them both go through this uncharted territory of running a kingdom, which neither of them have much experience in. The character development of Jude throughout this book is amazing and I loved reading about her journey.

There were a lot of plot twists that shocked me and others that I kind of saw coming. However, the ending was definitely one that I did not foresee or could comprehend when I read it at first.
