The Wicked King by Holly Black

Go to review page

5.0

The Cruel Prince left me wanting more, and Holly Black delivered. She has crafted an incredible world, and enthralling heroine in Jude - the sort of strong, relatable character I've searched for in everything I've read. Jude on her own would be enough to keep reading, but each an every character's story evolves, illuminating further facets of both Jude's compatriots & nemeses, especially Cardan.
The Wicked King will lead you toward an inevitable conclusion, only to pull it away at the last moment. "Couldn't Put It Down"-ness a definite 10. Now when can I have the final chapter?
