So the King wasn’t Wicked, so much as not great at his job. The interesting relationship dynamics remain. A really great part is when Jude says to her foster dad, “You aren’t my father. You are the murderer of my father,” and he replies, “I am both.” Spoiler: I like how she felt a sense of responsibility for her Cardanthough and that she trusted him in the end. I loved how they got together, and the cliffhanger was pretty great.

so painfully good.

Uninteresting plot and unlikable characters especially Jude. I HATED this book.

Poor jude got betrayed multiple times in the span of 2 months😔

I love this series sm

Love the suspense and plot twists. Thought it couldn’t get any better than the first book.

It was so good I swear I’ve read at least 10 times

Love this series!

Wow just freaking wow THIS IS THE ONLY PROPER ENIMES TO LOVERS BOOK WRITTEN EVER HONESTLY PLEASE READ THIS SERIES

Not a lot if people would consider the second book in this series the best. Of course, The Cruel Prince is considered the best in the series. But I truly found The Wicked King being my favorite! All the books in the series had such amazing writing you’d fall in love. But The Wicked King was probably on another level. With the cliffhanger in The Cruel Prince, this book was so much more enjoyable. The plot was everything!!! I loved the surprise in the end and all the crazy events happening in the end it caught me by surprise and I loved it. A lot of people would say that with all these things being thrown at you by surprise causes the book to be ‘rushed’, I personally think that with all these it’s supposed to surprise the reader. 🚨SPOILERS🚨 I’m not completely sure if this happened in The Queen of Nothing or The Wicked King (be aware I’m writing this review months after reading the series) but oh well, when The Ghost was like “I served Prince Dain not you” I DIED LIKE OMGGGGG I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS SO COOL WHAT AND HE DOES THING HELP ME I honestly loved how that popped up, its like a “We’re chill while giving highly dangerous/confidential information.” Obsessed! Once again forgive me if this is in The Queen of Nothing and not this book, but Taryn is the most annoying person ever I’m not gonna even bother using caps for her. I was so close to throwing a chair at her and forcing Addison Rae to defeat Vecna for her. SPOILERS FREE Okay, running away from all of that, this book was overall amazing and one of my bess reads, if you’re considering continuing the series don’t even consider just read this book!!!!! Trust me it might end up being your favorite in the series. Thank you Holly Black for creating such an amazing trilogy and characters that will remain rent free in my heart P.S. Don’t listen to the bad reviews (they’re lying)😉
