The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

5.0

Holy sh*t. This has me feeling so many ways I never knew I could feel. There aren’t enough words to describe the absolute out-of-body experience I had whilst reading every page of this book. The characters, the world-building, the plot twists, the dark and twisted scenes- I cannot catch my breath and I don’t know if I will ever be able to. Our poor Jude had my heart physically hurting in my chest in the first half, and then I was cheering her on with happy tears mid-way, and then I was staring at a wall in disbelief and shock in the second half. All I can say is that anyone who has access to this book- whether it be bookstore, library, etc.- should read it. Immediately. Like, ASAP.
