The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

5.0

Trust me, when I say that The Cruel Prince was the BEST book I read in 2020 so far, it is quite a big deal. I mean, oh my GOSH how did I not pick this book up before? This book has become my next favorite thing after the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. It was so delightfully unpredictable, I couldn’t even know where the book was leading at all and I LOVED that my smartass mind couldn’t figure it out.


The Faerieland was described so marvelously, and so magically, and so beautifully, and yet I did not wish to visit it as a merry mortal. Damn, that place is so horrifying for us. But it’s surely an amazing place to visit if you’re a Fae. Go and have a visit there if you’re a fae and immortal.
Even though I’m a mortal, the intricate and amazingly designed dresses and jewelry made me all greedy to have a real look through their world for some extravagant shopping.
