The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
4.0
4.5 stars
This story of faeries is no fairytale.
First of all, I love Jude!
She's all kinds of cunning and clever I love in a protagonist. Reminds me so much of Kaz :)
The first half was slow-paced, but it was necessary because the end's just jam-packed with twists and betrayals and strategies and games and...(so many things to say).
In how many books can one say that they love and hate the characters at the same time? That's very rare, which is just one more aspect of exceptional talent of Holly Black.
And lastly, I love Jude!
Did I mention I love Jude?
