The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

4.0

Wow! I was hoping that this was going to be a simple read but I stayed up all night to finish because I wanted to see what happens. I read the court of thorns series so I was eager to start another Fae world book. This was very much falling in love with the villain but at the same time it wasn’t even about that. So much plotting/killing/who done what, that I might just end up buying a physical copy to keep and read again later. I love how the Main character is so into herself and very egotistical in her actions in the quest for power. It’s not very often you run into female characters who are so much like their male counterpart in books like this. And it just so happens she’s more Fae acting then human and that poses a problem living in their world.
