“I may be cruel, a monster, and a murderer, but I do not shirk my responsibilities.”- The Cruel Prince
Nothing less than gripping with Holly Black’s unique signature style of writing.
Only read an extract from The Cruel Prince and it has me hooked and invested already, as expected it has been beautifully written, carefully meandering faerie lore with expertise, finesse and relevant contemporary concepts of pain and tragedy, love and living, self discovery and identity. Intriguing me as a reader further are the lines of enemy and ally are faded grey in relation to Faerie Court politics, questions of whether different is always evil and the obvious beginning of exploration in what family truly is- blood? Love? Experiences?
“In my heart, I yearn to best them.”- The Cruel Prince.
