First, I have to say that Wicked King has one of the most beautiful cover designs I`ve seen so far.

As for the book itself... I was a bit neutral with the previous book, nor here nor there. I kinda didn`t like Cardan and even at the end, I think that Jude hasn`t received an explanation worthy of forgiving...I only read Wicked King for all the positive comments that said ``keep reading, it gets better``

And it did get better. The plot was better, especially for the second part of the book, the high school drama was over and now we are in real trouble... We did see the character development of Jude and Cardan (I wish there were a bit more of Cardan in the first half, I feel as if we didn`t really get to see what is it that Jude was attracted to. Not quite as I expected but I enjoed reading it and I will dive into the third book with the hope that I will get my answers :).
