I just love the world Holly Black has created with these novels. I literally couldn't wait to read this follow up to The Cruel Prince (but had to - for waaayyy to long). I think other people have said enough about the plot. At times, I found it a little too political with plotting and scheming and I felt it lost a little of the tension between Cardan and Jude. However, for the most part it was a fantastic, immersive read. And that ending! Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to wait another year to find out what happens next.
Now that she’s in charge of the High King of Faerie, Jude has more power than she’s ever had and she needs to keep it while also not revealing just how much power she has. This would be much easier if she had any idea who she can actually trust, especially when she can’t even trust herself around Cardan when the two of them are drawn to each other and yet disgusted by each other in equal measure.
