Reviews with content warning for Death - The Wicked King

This just as good as the first book if not a tad better. I can't believe that ending I was fooled by cardan just as much as Jude was. But it was a very easy read and I'm excited to read the next book.

This is my second time reading “The Wicked King,” but my first time listening to it on audiobook.

The second book in Holly Black’s “Folk of the Air” series is a rich fantasy story that balances the wonder of fairyland with its dark mythology.

The first book in the series, “The Cruel Prince,” took its time to establish the world and let the readers get to know the characters. While the build up was slower than some might expect, it offered more solid ground for Black to be able to further the trilogy’s plot in “The Wicked King.”
