I also love the nod to other stories written by Holly Black. I especially enjoyed the direct reference to The Darkest Part of the Forest.

i'll be re-reading this book at some point this year. to be honest, i don't remember most of what happened, and i think it will be good to actively read it and write a better review.
[3 january 2023—initial review]
this book was loads better than the cruel prince. i definitely enjoyed seeing how the characters developed in this novel, especially cardan (he still confuses me immensely though).
now i have to wait ~8 weeks for the queen of nothing audiobook or find time to read it physically once i get back to school 😭😭😭 i just want to know what happens next.
