A review by cebarkow
The Wicked King by Holly Black

5.0

This book was better than the first one. Lots of political intrigue, general mysteries, and betrayals. It is Y/A but also not. There is more romance in this one compared to the first book, but nothing explicit by any means.

I really like Jude as a character and think she’s grown a lot and continues to grow throughout these books. She is very independent and doesn’t typically make decisions based on emotion, which is very different than a lot of fantasy romance characters.
