A review by rosehoughton
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

3.0

i need to stop having such high expectations for books that are popular on tiktok. this book kept switching from being really entertaining to very slow. some parts i couldn’t put it down and other times it was a struggle. of course i love the little enemies to lovers plot but it was so obvious that it was gonna happen. definitely read better fantasy books, some parts of the story building i felt was a little weak. overall a pretty fun book, probably will read the second one just cause i thought they ended this book at an interesting part in the story, but not straight away. have had this on my shelf forever and made the mistake of thinking it was gonna be absolutely amazing.
