The Wicked King

Pros:
- Political intrigue. This book is full of faerie court shenanigans, whether it was schemes, betrayals, or parties. I loved all the twists and turns as Jude and Cardan settled into their roles within the court.
- Jude and Cardan. Their relationship will always be a favorite of mine. I love how much they hate each other but at the same time how much they need each other. It is such a unique relationship and I love the way Holly is writing it.
- Worldbuilding. This book definitely expanded the world even beyond what The Cruel Prince introduced us to. I loved learning more about the Undersea and the court there.

Cons:
- The ending. Honestly this is not really a con, but I needed something to put down. I was prepared to be shocked by the ending, but this one left me even more shocked than Cruel Prince did. I cannot wait for the next one and it is horrible that it is a year away. But I know it will be amazing and have so much more shocking moments.
