The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

4.0

It took me a while to get hooked into it, mostly because I needed to get used to the writing style. At first it felt like sentences were clipped and shortened way too often but I look back now and see why, it’s from Jude’s point of view and she’s constantly in a state of tension it feels like. The world building is amazing and I love how dark yet whimsical it feels. Every time I imagine one of the characters from Faerie, I’m terrified but intrigued all at once. It definitely reminds you how treacherous the fae realm can really be, but Jude is such a badass- I know she’ll conquer them all. Can’t wait to read the next one!
