The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
4.0
3.75 stars
My favorite thing about this book is the writing style, it's fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The character progression was well done and while Jude was not my favorite protagonist in the beginning, she grows on you.
*Spoilers*
I was hoping for more romance, I wanted a bit more flushed out in the enemies to romance trope. I am hoping to find that in the second and third book. I'm also unsure about the twist ending, Jude has no way to know how Cardan will feel about abdicating the throne and that seemed like a foolish, not well thought our plan. I'm genuinely curious to know how this all plays out so on to Wicked King I go!
