Waiting on Wednesday | 07/11/18

‘Waiting on Wednesday’ is a meme created by Breaking the Spine where each week we discuss upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Unfortunately, Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting the weekly meme and it has been taken over by Wishful Endings and the name has changed to ‘Can’t Wait Wednesday.’ I am looking forward to SO MANY BOOKS, so this weekly meme is a great way for me to share what books I need to get my hands on!

After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.

When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.

I actually really enjoyed The Cruel Prince. I love Holly Black’s writing and I love the worlds that she creates so it’s no surprise that I enjoyed it. There were a few aspects of the story that I had problems with, but not enough to really hinder my experience of the novel.

The ending of The Cruel Prince was crazy, so of course I’m excited about The Wicked King. I’m intrigued to see what all of the characters get up to next.
