The Cruel Prince

“Because you're like a story that hasn't happened yet. Because I want to see what you will do. I want to be part of the unfolding of the tale.”

You know when you're reading a book and then you get sad because you realise you only have a few pages left until you finish? This is how it was for this book. I didn't want it to end.

The Cruel Prince reminded me exactly why I started to recently get into and enjoy reading fantasy.

I am going to keep this spoiler free as I do with all of my reviews.

I knew from the very first few chapters that Jude would become very special to me. Though, it's not the same (My world is not fantasy in any aspect), I relate to the feeling of never feeling like I belong and feeling pressure to try to. Jude might be young but she is most definitely not the weak girl that some of them make her out to be.

I am so excited to read more about Cardan and get to know him underneath the rough exterior that he presented throughout the book. I loved that I got to see a glimpse of it in some moments and I can't wait to see more.

Every character that you come across is flawed and complex. It was difficult to trust any of them and I found it so much to wait every chapter to see if anyone was reliable.

The drama, the plot twists... I am obsessed and I can't wait to pick up the rest of the series. I am so annoyed I didn't read it earlier.
