The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
5.0

A fast paced, nail biting brilliant game of Faye Politics

I wasn't sure i was going to enjoy this, as I haven't really found myself drawn to books about the Faye, but I really enjoyed this. The writing was beautiful, it was witty, nerve racking, full of scheme after scheme and people grasping for power at every turn, and I was never fully sure if and when someone would end up with a knife in the gut. I started not sure if I wanted to read this and now I can't wait to read the second one. It was brilliant.
