A review by bookdustfaerie
The Wicked King by Holly Black
3.0
More intrigues, more scheming and even more betrayal and deceit.
Jude and I will never be friends, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate her. Girl really needs five minutes to catch her breath, she hasn't had a moment rest ever since what happened in book 1. Loved seeing her grow chapter by chapter, she's actively finding her place in politics and she has such a bright mind, definitely underestimated by all.
Loved Cardan and his antics, he reminds me a lot of my husband : a big child, life of the party and class clown to all, but underneath is a clever and witty person. You just have to look beneath the layers. I'm curious as to how his story will continue in the third book.
3 stars because tbh by the end I kind of had enough of all the betrayal and deceit. It's fun at first when it seems like you really can't trust anyone, but Jude needs a friend. A real one.
