A review by 05sara
The Wicked King by Holly Black

3.0

No spoilers: 4 ⭐️ is being generous. I really like the premise of the book but the execution isn't all that great. I feel like the author builds up the story really well but makes a very climatic scene very anticlimactic. So even betrayals don't seem as dramatic as they deserve. The characters personalities are just so bland. Like there's no emotion behind anything they're all the same. 4 stars is being generous in all honesty. I saw most of the plot twists coming it was too predictable. I really hope the last book makes the series worth it because I'm gonna be really annoyed if I read all 3 books just to be met with pure disappointment. Update: I can't live with giving it 4 starts it's a 3.5 at most.  update 3 stars and i'm still being generous
