The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
3.0
This is a well written book. Full of dark moments, twisted intrigue, and bloody action. The world is engaging, and it's interesting to learn more about it.
However. I hate the characters. It's like the Author tried to make morally grey characters, but instead made a bunch of unlikable people with some redeeming qualities. Being a rude person doesn't make me care about you, or invested in your problems. I cheer when the characters make bad decisions because I have no love for them. Being a jerk with a sad background, doesn't make you redeemable, likeable, or a morally grey character, it just makes me not want to read.
