How delightfully wicked.

I wanted to wait till closer to November to read this but I just couldn't wait and I'm glad I didnt. Holly Black has opened me to a new world of possibilities in New stories in a genre I didn't think I would enjoy. I enjoy fantasy novels but stories about elves and fairies never appealed to me. But the Cruel Prince change that and the Wicked King has only cemented the fact that this is now one of my favorite genres.
The court politics, the scheming all reminds me of Game of Thrones, and Holly Black has created an impressive and beautiful world full of complex characters where you have to be wary of everything. I really love the relationship between Jude and Cardan, their hate for each other, and their mural respect and building.... I don't want to say love but it's something along those lines. The story was fast paced and I just fell into Elfhame, trying to see through all the lies and admire the beauty. I cannot wait for the next instalment. This series is fantastic, and full of magic and I want more. More more more!
