I do not know, but many plot twists were no secrets for me, but I liked it maybe even more because of it.
The writing style was so good, that I wanted to read almost the whole book, even English isn’t my mother tongue, in one seating.
Jude and her story.. the cruel prince and the subplot with her twin sister. I loved it all the way, even if very dark things happen in the plot.
And can I have those elaborate gowns the fey wear at parties? The descriptions of them were stunning!
You’ll find me ready the sequel 🤭

Love how strong and badass Jude is.
The writing and flow of the story are something to get used to, but it works well.
Poor Cardan is just a sad, hurt lil dude who admires the way Jude handles her shit. He's just bad at flirting bc he's scared to get close to people and he deserves a hug and kiss on the forehead and to be told he's doing a good job!!
Original review:
This book had kind of a slow start to it, but about 30% in, I was hooked.
The characters are complex and feel (mostly) realistic, the courtly politics kept me guessing. I wanted to slap Jude the whole damn book, but her decisions make sense for who she is, and that's what makes it so good!
So glad the next books are out so I can keep reading!
