A review by rachelleeva
The Wicked King by Holly Black

2.0

Holly Black should try making the first half of her books as interesting as the last parts. This book has about 315 pages but the dull writing at the beginning made me feel like I was reading one of my research papers.

It is one of these books with dull characters yet some bits of interesting lines like this one :

“I hate you,” I breathe into his mouth. “I hate you so much that sometimes I can’t think of anything else.”

Still that's nothing exceptional since the writing was slow.

Jude is surrounded by fools, Taryn is still a big deception (please avoid having a twin) , Cardan is probably planning something because that ending did hurt and he was a useless and bland king, Madoc is still a conflicting parental figure, Nicasia please shut the F up and I need Locke dead.
