Ok where to start! Everyone loved cruel prince I liked it but was not captured full. That changed for me with wicked king, I absolutely loved this book. the style of writing is easy to follow and enjoyable. Descriptions and plot are very thorough and you actually feel you are part of the story, sucked in from the beginning. I must add also I adored the map of Elfhame at beginning this I felt was lacking in first book.The characters develop far more in this second instalment and grow more likeable and understandable. the story I must say like the first book was surprising taking a lot of turns that no matter how prepared you are you still find it hard to call the outcome. I loved this book and eagerly await the delivery of queen of nothing. highly recommend this series.
