I am happy that I enjoyed this book in the folk of the air serie, after the first book the cruel prince I what I rated 3 stars, because I found it not worth the hype. I was scared to continue reading the serie. but from a lot of people I have heard that the serie is getting better after the first book. and those people were right this book is way better than the first one.
this book starts a few weeks later were we left off in the cruel prince and right from the get go were thrown into action and politics what I enjoyed, we had a little bit of time to catch up with the character we followed in book one. in this book I got more sucked into the world and I enjoyed it much better I found the under water world with the merman very exited and intresting, not only found I the world building better I found the writing style way better than book one, it is fast and I got into the story immediately.
with the character I have little bit a mixed feeling, I enjoyed them but sometimes it left me frustrated
i do very much like Jude but find here kind of annoying during the book, she is a good main character but most of the time I got irritated. I enjoyed Cardan in this book more but he isn't the guy I am interested in for a small time I enjoy his brother more :)
Overall the Cruel Prince is a strong second book definitely stronger than the first. It really develops on what was established in book one, but brings everything into a much larger scale, and raises the stakes so much. I am for sure going to continue the series but I think that will happen in 2023!
