The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
4.0
This is an awesome book! I was begging for more by the end!
There were a couple of reasons I didn't give this a solid-5 stars. First thing was all of the YA Fantasy tropes included:
1) Parents are dead
2) Enemies to lovers
3) Forgotten/ missing royalty
The other thing was it was really hard for me to get into the book. I have a problem with skipping over what I deem "unimportant words" and was unable to do this so I was really behind in this book (I set a date to have it finished by, usually 2-4 days).
Other than that, I loved the Jude's power and cunning, Cardan's cruelty and charming, and all of the other characters' traits (there's too many to write about). I loved the world (I mean, what kind of fantasy lover would I be if I DIDN'T like fey).
