A review by river69rat
The Wicked King by Holly Black

adventurous tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.5

Sometimes baffling and a bit hard to follow but mostly just really really good. That ending wow I'm so excited to pick up the third book now! And the relationship with Cardan is both brilliant and shocking. Great book that sits so far out of my usual genres but I love it!
