The Wicked King by Holly Black

adventurous challenging dark tense

4.5

 This book was good but it didn't catch me as much as The Cruel Prince did. The first half of the book was very slow and I was missing some action. But once I progressed a little more in the story there were so many twists and turns I wasn't sure what to think. I was on the edge of my seat and I loved every minute of it! 
I absolutely loved the character development in this book. How can you not love Jude? She is one of the best main characters I have ever met in a book and she is so fierce and smart I just love her. 
Some twists made me gasp out loud and the intrigues were endless in this book. What a ride (especially the end, like what?!)!
The atmosphere and overall mood of the book was so good. I never was that invested in a fantasy world but this series is everything.
