Hmm that's a tough one without being spoilery! Just prepare for pain :-\

Haha I totally feel your pain! And as far as the ending - I'm not going to lie, it's brutal, but the whole book is SO good. It's worth it ;)

"A billion spiteful stars." I LOVE IT!

Hahah so true!

I sped read THE CRUEL PRINCE in a day, and have been waiting for THE WICKED KING ever since. I was sure that Holly would not disappoint, but happy to see that others feel the same. Thanks for your review.

I am not ready

THAT DAMN ENDING!!!!

I KNOW AHHHHHH

I wanted to scream for hours after that ending hahaha

I just finished it and...MY HEART IS BROKEN! I was really feeling the Jude & Cardan ship, and the thing that happened right before he decided to be a total asshat was beautiful, i don't want to believe he didn't mean it :( I feel as shocked and angry as Jude - i hope there's a reason for it that isn't just him getting back at jude, because if there isn't a good reason, i won't forgive him and i'll hate this series like nothing else! Why Holly WHY?! I really wanted to ship them!!

I know i wanna hate Holly but she has to write more. I love her books so much but ARGHHHH

I think the ship can still sail. Don't give up!!

Haha - so good but so gut punching!

I have so many feelings. I’m hopeful that the ending has a positive spin about it as in we protect who we love but now I’m just second guessing everything.

I have hope!! I think there's several ways this could go, but I really doubt Cardan + Jude development was all for nothing ;)

Haha thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one in pain, lol!

This book killed me and made me feel alive. Honestly, I'm so in love. I can't believe we have to wait for the next installment. I need it now!

Yesss it's so good!! I'm glad you loved it!

Okay, just to make sure, from a ranking of 1 to 10, how much will the ending tear my heart apart (with 10 being a lot and so forth).

Jenny, it’s gonna be a 10

Bunni wrote: "Jenny, it’s gonna be a 10"

What she said ^

Guys, I honestly don't know what to feel anymore. Yes, the ending was 10 and all, but absolutely brilliant. Like I'm mad but happy? But it was sooooooooo good. I absolutely loved it, the ending and all.

"Mad but happy" is the best kind of feeling after a book ;)

Okay i restarted the book to prep for #3 and i’m scared

I wanted more to happen, but I do like scheming.

Cardan definitely surprised me, even though I felt sure how the ending will unfold.

Ahhh this review is so good!!!!

the pain is real

AGREED!! I never thought I could be so invested in court scheming. I find myself loving Jude at times and hating her at others. Both her and Cardan are so prideful and angsty and it both gives me life and makes me want to scream.

I honestly feel the exact same way about Jude and Cardan's relationship!

You described the Cardan situation perfectly. It's been two weeks and I still can't stop thinking about this book

What happened? Who died?? Who turned out to be good or evil??? What's the plot twist to cause this much hype????

And then there is chapter 15.... am I right? Or am I right?
