There was no build-up and no excited anticipation. This book that I’ve been waiting a whole year for, a book that I was truly excited to read, was not only a hot mess, but also a very short one that didn’t do this series any justice. One of my biggest problems is how short this book is. I still don’t understand why on earth it was used. The plot was just a big question mark and the plot twist left me speechless. I kept waiting for the Jude who is a destructive force of nature, who is constantly on her toes, and constantly scheming, and it didn’t happen. I kept waiting for her to become the Jude I know. She was so soft, much kinder, and a totally different person from the ruthless Queen that she was in TWK.Īnd that was annoying. The plot was incredibly lackluster, the politics were dialed down, and Jude was tame. All the things that made The Wicked King amazing – politics, Jude’s plotting, her ruthlessness, the absolute complexity and amazingness of the characters and the plot – were missing from this book.
