"The Cruel Prince" is a fantasy story with fairytale elements.
It tells the tale of a mortal girl who is taken to Elfhame, the land of the fae, and raised there by her parents` murderer.

The main character, Jude, is very interesting to read about because she is very cunning and ambitious.
Jude pushes for her place in Faerieland since she wants to be a knight, but a lot of fae look down on her and her twin sister, Taryn, for being human.

She has an ongoing feud with one of the princes of Elfhame, Cardan, who bullies her relentlessly - and Jude bullies him right back.

When Jude gets the chance to work in one of the courts, she discovers that not everything is as it seems in the land of the fae...

I really liked "The Cruel Prince" since the characters have a lot of facettes, Elfhame is a great fantasy world to daydream into, and the enemies-to-lovers dynamic is developed very well.
