literaryrachael 's review for:

The Wicked King by Holly Black
3.5

Poor Jude :( She was really trying her best but she got a little too ambitious and her juggling act fell apart. I can't believe that she married Cardan and I can't believe that just HOURS after getting married, Cardan exiled Jude. Cardan is such a little asshole but he’s growing on me. 

My biggest complaint with this book is that some of the plotlines were all build-up with no payoff (especially the Madoc, Taryn, and Locke plotlines).
