However, I enjoyed the second half of the book much more, and I was even inclined to pick up the sequel. I don’t know. I like how cheeky Cardan is. I think their dynamic would’ve been more impactful had they interacted more in the first half. It was very “he’s so cruel” when it’s mostly Cardan taking a backseat while his friends were being cruel. Maybe Jude is supposed to be an unreliable narrator?

I really liked this book because I found that there was a lot of pretty interesting 'world-building' where we just got to kind of see jude's day to day life without too much BIG changes and wild plot-twists (well compared to the other 2 books especially. Though I kind of found Jude to be another boring mc (though bearable enough). I kind of liked cardan despite his actions, he is a silly (but mean) guy.
