The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

3.0

Love the plot, although the writing style is a little off for me at times. It makes sense given the perspective it's written from (age included for the first few chapters), but there are some moments of hinting at something and then directly saying it aloud that makes it feel as though the author doesn't trust the reader to make the connection. Again, this is done consistently, so it may just be the way the particular character thinks. It's not inherently wrong, but it can be annoying.
