I'm officially apologizing to all my bookish mutuals that have told me repeatedly that I would love Cruel Prince and not listening to them by pushing it off as much as possible.

I was scared this book would not live up to the hype everybody puts around it. But, I love the political intrigue, the characters, the setting. A mortal with in the fae world, trying to live as one. I do love Jude and I love Cardan, hell I even like Madoc. Taryn maybe not so much, I could not stand her at all, at any point of the story lol

But, I want to say I finished this book as well in one sitting. It did not disappoint. I loved it and I'll be reading Wicked King and Queen of Nothing soon <3
