A review by inkberry
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

5.0

There was definitely a lot of build up/slow burn for the plot in this book, which I know some people do not enjoy. But I love development and detail in a book (huge Tolkien fan here), especially when it involves some complex political/war scheming. And world building!

I’ve heard the rest of the books heavily involve those aspects, so I think I’ll be reading the rest of this series soon.

Not usually a huge fan of first person perspective, but I was able to look past it.
