DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ ALL THREE BOOKS IN THE CRUEL PRINCE TRILOGY
1) I enjoyed these stories so much. It was great to see Cardan’s life in his perspective. Some of it we already knew, but only through Jude’s lense. I liked that it included Jude, his falling for her & a few moments of them together as High King and Queen.
2) I really hate Nicasia. A large amount. I will HATE if Holly Black writes the next book in her perspective. I don’t want to hear her side of anything. I also dislike the fact that Jude just doesn’t seem to mind her anymore even after how terrible she continues to be to her. She helped Jude save Cardan, only because she still loves him.
3) I wish there were a few more stories included. It was great to get insight on how Cardan became a villain. I think I may just love him & want more because of that. However, I do wish there was a story of him with the Court of Shadows or trying to rule the kingdom.
