I dunno if this book really knows what it is - the school stuff, romance drama felt incredibly immature in comparison to the royal politics that is being played out. It didn't mesh well for me.
Jude grew on me a lot. At first I wasn't too sure about her because I didn't really understand her brain. I still don't fully get her but I liked her a lot more towards the end, shes more layered than you think initially. I'm interested to see the plot goes but it didn't really grab me? Idk.
With Cardan, I get I can see how people like him. I didn't really vibe with the bully shit, idk it made everything feel so childish.
I did like when Jude said "I get why he chose her. I just wish she had chosen me." I found that sad, but Jude kinda forgave Taryn too easily. I think that's in Jude's character, since she has soft spots for her siblings and she seems to be a forgiving person, but I don't think it felt that satisfying.

Some authors would write pages of descriptions and I would be lost about what the plot is. I love the way they write. Few sentences and then move on to the plot. Love the twist and turns though I suspected most of them before it happened.
BookTok was right about this book. It was good and I enjoyed it.
