Jude har fått Cardan på tronen och bundit honom till sig i ett år och en dag. Men känslor, strategier och förrädare ska in i leken och Judes plan kanske inte är så enkel som den verkar.
Väldigt spännande fortsättning på The cruel prince och definitivt läsvärd. Rekommenderar till alla som gillar fantasy, spänning och starka FMC. En bok full av intriger, strategier, planer och plötsliga vändningar. Rekommenderar boken starkt.

Even Taryn's betrayal threw me off, though I should've expected it considering she isn't afraid to throw her sister in the line of fire if it benefits her outcome even the slightest bit. I do hope she gets her comeuppance, though, she is too proud and too eager to appear the superior sibling.With how it ended, I am interested to see how Jude gets out of this predicament, and what game of chess Cardan is playing now, because obviously he has become the King on the board protecting his Queen.

This book truly makes me a hypocrite. I never thought I could love something so much that I also absolutely hate. I guess that's quite fitting for the book though.
Cardan is so horrible and I honestly don't know why I like this book. It has so many things I usually would hate in a book but somehow I am just hooked. I guess I just really like the writing. The world building is really great and the characters have a way of getting to you.
The ending was exactly what I expected and also the biggest plot twist.
