“I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”
He kisses me harder.


Still a 5-star read and I am still reeling from that ending.

What makes the second installment much more interesting and fun is we're seeing Jude attempting to play a Puppet Master under the guide of a Senechal to Cardan who is now crowned the High King of Elfhame after an interesting twist of events.

While Jude leads the show, Cardan is content to sit in the background but doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own little schemes.

Jude and Cardan both continue to dance around the fact that they're hopelessly falling for each other.

They're a match made in heaven and hell.
