The Cruel Prince Review

​So, I read The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and I thought that it was an okay book. It had a good story line but was a bit cliché. It was really well written though, I have to say.
         What I really liked about this book is the Faeries. They were very entertaining, and I enjoyed that they were different than the others from books I have read. I liked that Jude just wanted to be with like them.
         I didn’t like the love story between Jude and a faerie, it felt like it came out of nowhere and then he ended up being in love and proposing to her sister. I also didn’t like her Jude’s twin sister, she was not a well-built character and she just rubbed me the wrong way.
         I knew where Holly Black was going with the ending by the middle of the book and I did not like that. It was a very predictable ending to a book and I was disappointed after I finished it.
         I would not recommend this book unless you can hang on for book 2 which is coming out later this year.
