Ok so, I didn’t reread The Cruel Prince and it had been an age since I’d read it when this came. However, I decided I wasn’t going to reread and jump straight into this. I don’t regret not rereading, I think if I did reread The Cruel Prince, I wouldn’t rate it as high as when I first read it. It was pretty unmemorable and I had to read a recap before starting The Wicked King.
As for The Wicked King, plot-wise??? I feel like nothing exciting or interesting happened? Everyone was raving and screaming over how amazing this whole book was and throughout the entirety of it. I don’t feel like there was much of a plot, it’s literally just Jude running court. It wasn’t overly fun to read about, it was just ok. Through all of it I was like meh?? When is it going to get good? – Answer: the last 100 pages.
I didn’t find it hard to read, it wasn’t something I kept reaching for though. I wasn’t gripped or invested. It was just okay. In my opinion: this book was way overhyped. Which is why I was left disappointed. My expectations were too high and ultimately it failed.
