okay, i love this a lot more than the first book. 
i love that Cardan showed up more, not just like a side character
the love-hate relationship is showing HAHA

What is there to say other than this book is mired in tension in every page? From Jude and Cardan’s precarious relationship to cruelties of the faerie that never stop being impressive and the political intrigue. Cruel Prince was great. This was something else entirely. I raged and rooted for Jude through every scene.
