In the second book, you can truly feel Jude’s exhaustion and desire for power — a common theme threaded throughout.
This sequel read much like a TV show and ended with the perfect “season finale.”

I can’t believe I was tricked into believing Cardan wasn’t the cruel prince he had been. Like Jude, I couldn’t see his scheme, I couldn’t see the harm in freeing him. He seemed so genuine and now here we are. Queen of Nothing, indeed.0 spice, a little romance.

Jude is singled out for some vicious, dangerous bullying/hazing because she's human. She kills in self-defense. And her relationship with Cardan is emotionally unhealthy.vaguely_pink's review against another edition
