A review by transcendent
The Wicked King by Holly Black

5.0

WOWZA THAT WAS SO GOOD strong 4 to light 5 stars!!!!!!

I didn't get what people meant by the second book is better than the first one since there's very few series I've come across where it applies, but this is certainly one of them.

a lot of what was left unanswered in the first book was nicely sealed within this second one, with some areas like Madoc's whole involvement in the court and the court of shadows opened and explored throughout, and some nicely wrapped in a bow like the Taryn/Locke/Jude situation we had going for a while.

I love girlboss Jude and baby girl Cardan so much like they work so well together it's insane

also the bomb and the roach if you're out there listening PLEASE let me be your third I am on my knees.
