More delicious, duplicitous, deceitful behavior by every. single. character. in the book~ faery & mortal alike!!! Book two did not disappoint in that regard. The Cruel Prince, now the Wicked King, may be the person least guilty of this backstabbing, violent conduct then anyone else in the book and that's actually a shocking revelation (considering how he was portrayed in the first book.)
Our protagonist Jude continued in her lonely pursuit of power. She's formidable, no doubt, but her 'lone wolf' behavior gets her into mishaps time and time again. I rooted for her, still do, but also thought she deserved a lot of the situations she ended up in. In a world where everyone & everything is suspicious, keeping your guard up would be exhausting but so is not trusting anyone & trying to handle everything yourself.
Cardan. What an enigmatic Prince turned King. He intrigued me in the first book and even more here. Clearly everyone but Jude can see he's in love with her (whether he wants to be or not) and following the flow of that relationship is inarguably fascinating. He also gives Jude more passes than anybody else in the books have been lucky enough to receive ~ maybe she'll catch on in book three???
Immediately dived into 'The Queen of Nothing!' These books are as quick and easy to read as they are captivating and have been a perfect escape from real life. Can't wait to see how this clever author wraps the series!
