This book kept me on the edge of my seat.
I do not know, but many plot twists were no secrets for me, but I liked it maybe even more because of it.
The writing style was so good, that I wanted to read almost the whole book, even English isn’t my mother tongue, in one seating.
Jude and her story.. the cruel prince and the subplot with her twin sister. I loved it all the way, even if very dark things happen in the plot.
And can I have those elaborate gowns the fey wear at parties? The descriptions of them were stunning!
You’ll find me ready the sequel 🤭
