In my review of The Cruel Prince, I discussed the twisted, dysfunctional world that Holly Black builds in The Folk of the Air series. It’s rare for a second book to impress me this much, but The Wicked King is even better than TCP. where the only thing you can know to be true about a person is that they will betray you if it suits them. Last year, Holly Black impressed me with her release of The Cruel Prince, a return to the dark and dangerous world of fey. When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control.
To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. The first lesson is to make yourself strong.Īfter the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.
