Petitioning Timothee Chalamet as Cardan! Read this, then go watch
The King
, you’re welcome!! and no, I won’t shut up about it 🤣
Reread #3 11/2019: I still die
Reread #2 10/8/19: more than 5⭐️ I can’t believe how much went right over my head!!
Read #1 2/19: You think this is one of those typical tropey, played out YA plots???????? Hahahahhahahahaha then you don’t know Holly Black!!
FIVE magically shining faerie stars!! I have been BLOWN away. Holly Black has killed me. I am dead. This is me dead. Uuuuuuuuuugh The Wicked King was EVERYTHING I’ve wanted, everything I’ve been searching for in the YA genre and now it is over and I still haven’t caught my breath!!
All I want to do is stare at my wall and ponder so hard over what I just read.
I think I will read it again! I need more. I need to feel it again!
Gah! The twists, the turns! The betrayals! The heartache!Cardan and his “clever fingers” *eeeeeeeeek*
I think I must admit to myself that Holly Black has now taken place above my 4-year-straight-all-time-fave-author, Cassandra Clare *gasp* I can not believe I just said that!
I’m so incoherent right now I think I should just stop rambling. But if you follow my reviews because your tastes align with mine then trust me, you neeeeeed this one.
Ugh this review is so cringe I’m sorry!

"Reread #2. Also got a PGE black out tomorrow, possibly for a few days. So I’m going to be playing camp-out in my house but at least I’ll be surrounded by my precious books."

"Cardan steps close to me, his gaze devouring..."I hate you," I whisper before he can speak.
He tilts my face to his. "Say it again," he says...
OMG these two are like the fire of a Leo and the passion of a Scorpio which equals the best hate-slash-love sex ever.
I speak from experience hahaha
Can they just do it already!!!"

"”Tell me again what you said at the revel,” he says, climbing over me, his body against mine.
“What?” I can barely think.
“That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”
“I hate you,” I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it over and over. A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. “I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”"

I haven’t picked up another book yet. I’m just....not ready, I’m so hung up on that ending! On the whole thing! I’ve been spending hours on Tumblr and IG and fanfiction obsessing over Cardan and Jude!
Also I read something in the GR q&a section under The Wicked King that made me think....can we discuss that scene next to the throne room???
It’ll be totally worth the wait! Just try to avoid those spoilers!!!!!!!
I am ALWAYS down for a WK private chat!!!!!!!!! You can message me on here, or you can find my blog on insta and we can chat there, which is even easier. If you go that route, it's @starcrossedbookblog
:)
ALSO YES! I re read The Cruel Prince RIGHT after, re read my fav WK parts, and I legit have bought SO MUCH MERCH! Candles. Blankets. Bracelets. And I stalk all fanart and pretty much pine for MORE merch. I'm saving my next re read for when I'm pregnant and man down lol
No one is better thank Cassandra Clair lol
Thanks, Gary ☺️
Yaaaassss you agree!! This needs to be hyped!!
Omg yaaass!! This makes me soooo happy!!!
Yes that’s true ☺️
Ikr?!! Love him!
And *eek* hope you love the series!!!
