A review by eden_irvin
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

It was slow paced at first; I didn't find it very engaging until the end. Bloodier than I was expecting but nothing unbearable. I'm glad I read it but I don't think I'll read the sequel.
