It had been an unforgettable ride.... just ordered the Queen For Nothing, The Evil Man - it had been such a time for jude to be shattered, but she could go back and say nothing had happened if she so wished. Cardan is a lot smarter than we think he is. This book will provide you with the action you want, the romance you anticipated from Cruel Prince. Black did an outstanding job of setting up the characters in their worlds and expressing their internal states from Jude's head. Beautifully written, amazing world-building, and an interesting storyline. Every chapter has a cliffhanger waiting for you. i reccommend reading the rest of the series, the queen of nothing & the cruel prince. after this book as you will not regret it . A dramatic and exciting ending. This book was dark, provocative, full of royal intrigue, and power plays galore.
