The Wicked King by Holly Black
5.0
It's embarrassing how much I love this book.
Holly Black does a fantastic job of making an immersive, dangerous and engaging world without bogging you down with too much detail about how Faerie works. As a result, the plot moves along at a brisk, exciting pace and I found myself completely invested in all of Jude's schemes. The court intrigue, the gorgeous descriptions of the Folk, Cardan (!), the romance (!!) and that ending (!!!!!) were enough to make me toss and turn the night I finished it. Now I just have to bide my time until the next one comes out... in a year...
