Rezension von aylinet so mein fall
Rezension von sylunqI finished The Cruel Prince, and I have mixed feelings about it. The ending was honestly so good and definitely the strongest part of the book. Once everything started coming together, I couldn’t stop reading and immediately understood why so many people love this series. That said, I struggled a lot with the beginning. It took me quite a while to get into the story because there were so many characters, politics, and new information thrown at you all at once. It wasn’t necessarily boring, but I felt like the plot took a little too long to really get going. For more than half of the book, I kept waiting for something major to happen. Overall, I did enjoy it, and the ending convinced me to continue the series!
Rezension von ArisuI don't know what else to say except that I will definitely keep reading, especially after that cliffhanger and because of Cardan and Jude. Even if the romance is only a subplot, I still want to continue for that reason, because I love Cardan and Jude and their story.
Rezension von Elvansoooo gut vorallem die letzten 10 chapter
Rezension von VictoriaAll in all ein gutes Buch. Ich fand den Anfang nur leider bisschen schnell und ich kam da teilweise nicht wirklich mit 🙃 mal schauen was die nächsten Teile so bringen ☺️
