I really enjoyed reading this series more than I thought I would. I was new to reading fantasy regarding faerie folk when I started a cruel prince but three books later I have developed an appreciation for the genre. Jude's character development throughout the series was magnificent and I enjoyed how real her character felt. Jude was evoloving throughout the series and I think in the queen of nothing we witness her grow into the title if queen. Along with jude we see the side characters evolve with her such as Taryn, Mardoc and of course Cardan. The enemies to lovers plot point between cardan and jude is SO well done I was squealing at times not going to lie. Overall I understand why this series has the hype it does, my only gripe is at times the plot can be predictable and some more interesting areas are left a but underdeveloped for the sake of cliche plot points. Nonetheless worth the read.
