The Wicked King by Holly Black

5.0

PERFECTION

I’m going to keep my original review, because honestly that’s exactly how I feel after reading this again
——————————————————-

This entire review is about to be a mess of fangirling and yelling so brace yourselves.

Because I am. FREAKING. THE. FUCK. OUT.

Seriously, WHAT. What a sequel! Holy shit I've been waiting for this book for months and it was every bit as incredible as I was dreaming it would be. Holly Black is a genius.

The politics, the relationships, the moral ambiguity, the SEXUAL TENSION. And Jude. Jude Jude Jude Jude.

I love her. So much. I want to marry her and have her babies. She is, and always will be, my favorite heroine of all time. She walks this very fine line between good and bad. Ambitious, conniving, badass - she gives no fucks, and serves no one but herself. I idolize her. Yes, I know she's a power hungry murderer, and no, I don't give a fuck. Jude has gone through such a drastic character development from The Cruel Prince to now, and I cannot wait to see her development in Queen of Nothing.

** Spoilers ahead **





I have so many questions. SO many. How could Holly Black do this to me? CARDAN WHAT IS GOING ON? I know he has to have something up his sleeve. This can't be for nothing. He loves Jude. He wants her safe. Right? Right? Is Jude going to go to Madoc? WTF is up with Taryn? Her character is now equally a manipulative bitch and a fascinating enigma because I have no idea what she's up to. I NEED ANSWERS
