The Wicked King by Holly Black
4.0
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a great sequel, just as layed and interesting as the first, even if I found it hard to read at points because I don't like bad things happening to Jude.

Jude was great as always, making reasonable mistakes and great victories and her relationship with Carden evolved in such a fascinating way that I was cheering and dreading any scene with them. His development is great and complex too.

Fuck Locke, and especially fuck Taryn.
