The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
4.0

Gave it a 4 ⭐️ but it’s probably closer to a 3.75 ⭐️

The first third of the book was engaging and got me into it. But my interest tapered off mid-way through. Here are some thoughts…

I liked Jude and whole twins become enemy dynamic. Who doesn’t like a good betrayal? Taryn is a little bitch and I’m curious to see if she evolves into a Big Bitch in time.

Jude’s complex relationship with her “dad” Madoc was very real and I like that he became a villain in the end (although I guess he was from the very beginning, wasn’t he?). Still was a good ride from “forgiveness, sort of” to “fuck you” all over again.
