ABOUT

"You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.

The first lesson is to make yourself that strong.

Jude has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were biddable. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.

When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her 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."

THOUGHTS

This book stepped up the series' game sooo much with those twists and turns! All the betrayals that happens are just crazy, and Jude is such a badass FMC!

RECOMMENDATION

This book (and this whole series) is perfect if you love to read about a fantasy world with a lot of political questions and a sub-plot of an amazing enemies-to-lovers-romance!

And if you didn’t like the first one, please still try this one because it gets SO much better!-

To sum up – a perfect read for those who want a lot of intrigues and betrayals while still having that spark of an excellently executed romance.
