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.”
Spoiler
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.

The plot carried well from the first and I intent to read the final book of the series.
However, I felt there was much to be desired in explaining character motives (hopefully this will all come to light in the final book). I hope to be able to empathise with the characters and feel that the relationships they are building are justifiable.
Moderate: Injury/injury detail and Vomit
