Just when you think you’ve seen it all when it comes to cunningly deceiving, secretively scheming and shamelessly betraying in The Cruel Prince … The Wicked King is a very worthy second instalment. I’m usually weary of sequels, but this one exceeded my expectations. And Jude does. Not. Back. Down! She might be my favourite heroine I’ve come across in a fantasy book. She is relentless, she is resilient, she will have the world torn to pieces before she gives up on reaching her goals. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 out of 5 stars) from me! 🧚🏻‍♀️

It has been 10 years since I actually finished a book in a day...
What poison should I dose myself everyday to not be this embarrassing!
