The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

2.0

[2 Stars] Honestly just not great. Story didn’t know what it wanted to be. Telling, telling, telling. Behind the scenes “character development”. Nonsensical character motivations and actions. Yes, we get it, the fae are bad. Yes, we get it you’ve grown up to be a killer, AND? Plot points were easy to see from a mile away. I think I’ve just gotten harsher on ratings over the years. It was easy enough to get through at least, but at the end of the day it just lacks depth.
