Sinossi
Jude era solo una bimba quando i suoi genitori furono brutalmente assassinati. Fu allora che sia lei che le sue sorelle vennero rapite e condotte nel profondo della foresta, nel mondo magico. Dieci anni dopo, l'orrore e i ricordi di quel giorno lontano e terribile ormai sfocati, Jude, ora diciassettenne, è stanca di essere maltrattata da tutti e soprattutto vuole sentirsi finalmente parte del luogo in cui è cresciuta, poco importa se non le scorre nemmeno una goccia di sangue magico nelle vene. Ma le creature che le stanno intorno disprezzano gli umani. E in particolare li disprezza il principe Cardan, il figlio più giovane e crudele del Sommo Re. Per ottenere un posto a corte, perciò, Jude sarà costretta a scontrarsi proprio con lui, e nel farlo, a mano a mano che si ritroverà invischiata negli intrighi e negli inganni di palazzo, scoprirà la sua propensione naturale per l'inganno e gli spargimenti di sangue. Quando però si affaccia all'orizzonte il pericolo di una guerra civile che potrebbe far sprofondare la corte in una spirale di violenza, Jude non ha esitazioni. Per salvare il mondo in cui vive è pronta a rischiare il tutto per tutto.

“He looks like a faerie lover stepped out of a ballad, the kind where no good comes to the girl who runs away with him.” If you guys ever want to see what my true heart’s desires are on paper, read this book. This book is a piece of heaven that was sent from above, this book is the perfec
4.5/5 ⭐ Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 “(…) cheekbones sharp enough to cut out a girl’s heart.” I love me a cruel and tipsy Faerie prince and that’s Cardan and only Cardan. I mean everything I said in the previous sentence. Every. Word. Is. True. Cardan was the best thing happening to Leggi tutto
*clears throat* Excuse me, uh. Who cares? This is not a rhetorical question. I truly want to know. I read this whole ass book and I am still at a complete loss for something, anything, to care about. Not a plot point, not a character trait, not a single line of quirky banter I could get myself emotion Leggi tutto
Jan 2023: Still impossible to put down and I know what happens!! Gotta say, I'm glad I didn't reread this before reading The Stolen Heir because that one would have paled in comparison. Nothing quite like Jude & Cardan. No matter how careful I am, eventually I'll make another misstep. I am weak. I
New week, New BookTube Video - all about the best (and worst) literary couples The Written Review If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse. Jude (and her twin, Taryn) are human but their older sister (Vivi) belonged to another world. Their mother fled when she was pr
I do not yearn to be their equal. In my heart, I yearn to best them. Wow, what a start to the trilogy! I'm not sure what I expected going into The Cruel Prince , but it certainly wasn't this much fun or this much nastiness. Jude was only seven years old when her parents were brutally murdered in fr
I absolutely cannot believe I wasted time out of my freaking life to read this "book". I don't get the hype and I hate how relationships are portrayed in the story! Authors and reviewers here on Goodreads that I trusted trust raved about this book .... and I'm here lighting the fire so I can burn th Leggi tutto
