2/28/19: I can already tell that this book is going to give me the biggest book hangover of my life. 😭😭

Holly Black why did you have to do this to me? I literally don’t want to read anything else until I have the next book in my hands. I feel so betrayed and shocked and freaking shook to my core. The cliffhanger is truly going to kill me.

I really liked the first book but let me tell you this book was EVEN BETTER. LIKE WAY BETTER. All the political drama, backstabbing, sneaking around, angst, everyone having their own agendas, new plot twists that I didn’t see coming, and on top of all that it’s set in a beautiful world with faeries and mermaids and pixies and goblins. It’s so cool!! And I love how dark she wrote the world as well. I want to read all the faerie based fantasy books now😍

p.s. freaking CARDAN! I absolutely hated Cardan in the first book but The Wicked King made me fall in love with him honestly. I just freaking love Cardan so much.
