A review by simranpradhan
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
2.0
Second thought// 2 stars
On second thought, no - the world building is literally some of the weakest I have ever seen any fantasy series. I will probably drop it down to 1.5 stats soon.

THIS DOES NOT GET EVEN MILDLY INTERESTING UNTIL 60%
still, it could have been worse. My expectations were considerably low but the book is exactly what it preaches I guess so I guess I can give that
The lack of soft erotica helped, and Jude is pretty much one of the few non-annoying MCs (thought at times stupid but it's an okay amount of stupid)
I was half expecting cardan to be some genius under the plot all the time but that didn't happen so a little dissapointed I guess
But I can say I found it pleasant enough, if not absolutely enjoyed. Then again, I am a few years older than its demographic so that has to count too.
