I have no words to describe how much I love this book and how much I love badass Jude!! Out of all Holly Black's heroines I've read so far, Jude is probably the only one I truly like.
And then there's Cardan. He's clever but many underestimate him. Although he doesn't really show much motivation/determination to do things (other than party) until towards the end of the book when Jude gets kidnapped. Jude understandably misinterprets Cardan a lot and it's fun to analyze his character and his motivations beyond Jude's perspective.
I love the plot twist at the end of the book and now I can't relax until I have the last book in my hands.
I cannot wait for the Queen of Nothing!
