A review by kitsuneru
The Wicked King by Holly Black

adventurous tense

4.75

i don’t even know where to start. the plot twists, the amount of times i gasped.

CARDAN😭😭😩🧎‍♀️ i need him so bad. every time he pops up i literally highlight it bc im so obsessed with him that everything he does is so hot. the power he has as high king is SO HOT TOO. literally on my knees for him always.
when he told jude to crawl to him i had to take a moment and calm down. even though it wasn’t said sexually or anything and it was just to prove that she couldn’t be glamoured but like he could’ve chosen any command and he chose THAT😩
im so in love with him. i want him i need him. he’s literally so AHHHHH.
though i’m so confused why he would exile her.


jude i love her so much. she literally gets more and more badass as the story progresses.

i HATE her fckn twin sister taryn. she keeps betraying her and jude keeps forgiving her but i can’t be bothered. i hate taryn since the first book.


ALSO CARDAN SAYING THAT HE TRUSTS JUDE AND HE WANTED TO SHOW HER THAT HE TRUSTS HER AHHH BLUSHING AND KICKING MY FEET FR.


AND the only reason cardan thought taryn was jude was because she was wearing the earrings that made her appear more beautiful than usual. CARDAN THINKS OF JUDE AS THE PRETTIER TWIN IM SCREAMING AND BLUSHING AND POUNDING MY FIST AGAINST MY PILLOW. PLUS the fact that he was just poisoned too.
like cardan you are the man.

anyway back to that
rat taryn, jude deserves better. and FUCK the ghost and madoc.


anyway i love cardan and jude. i love the bomb and the roach. and i love vivi. but cardan and judeeeee, im excited to see how their relationship progresses in the next book.
