The Cruel Prince

Better writing than most of the new authors out there. Nice fairy tale with a bit of a Game of Thrones feel to it. I admit, I was hoping for more of a love story, as well, but the writing is superb.

It was good at the beginning but was very slow. I had to force myself to finish it but i enjoyed it for the most part. I dont think ill read the rest of the series.

Okay so the first time I read this I hated it. I don’t like the fmc, and I didn’t like the book…. But I’d already purchased book 2 so after a LONG break I reread it so I could read book two… anyways a year later I’ve read it 5 times and I still don’t like the fmc but I’ll begrudgingly admit I may or may not have enjoyed it enough to read the series nearly half a dozen times. If you’re looking for a romance, don’t look here. This is a fantasy book with a minor subplot of romance. Don’t get mad at the book for being something it wasn’t written to be.

So good! This lives up to the hype. I'm not usually a fan of fantasy but this was so good. It is the first in the Folk of the Air series, so there is a lot of world building in this. I've read the entire series, so be rest assured that the slowburn enemies to lovers between Cardan and Jude comes to an HEA. I definitely recommend this to anyone is just starting to get into fantasy.

At times I found myself a bit bored. But all in all, I really enjoyed this series even though I’m not a huge fantasy fan. The lore and the characters were interesting and it was well written.

There's no doubt you've seen this book all over TikTok and Wattpad, because I certainly have. I bit into temptation and decided to buy this book and I was not disappointed. I generally never liked fantasy novels, but this just completely changed my mind. I just ordered the next 2 books in the series and cannot wait to binge read them. This is definitely a comfort read and is very exhilarating. I loved every little second of it and could hardly put it down. Even if I found certain moments very predictable, the writing is so good I was hooked. If you're looking for something more *steamy* then this is not the book for that. It's definitely a lighthearted tween-teen novel for those who want to read something a bit more relaxed and innocent.

If you are looking for a page-turning, deep fantasy read, keep looking. If you are a tween or younger, you might enjoy this book. For anyone older I absolutely would not recommend. I had to force myself to complete it just to see what happens. Unfortunately it was highly predictable and I could not stop rolling my eyes at the ABC Family style drama. I am surprised to hear so many high recommendations from adults. This book is most certainly written for a younger, less mature crowd.

Pretty expository, world building but the characters are engaging. Verrryyyy slow burn enemies to lovers but still good.

Wow wow wow!! Not what I was expecting. That twist and man Jude is a sneaky girl playing a very very dangerous game! I'm rooting for her. And cardan I didn't see that coming. I need to finish this series because I can't be left hanging like this! Such a great story and a good twist.

This books is what I would consider the perfect fantasy book. There was not to much soapy romance that it engulfs the whole plot but just enough to keep you interested and reading it. With a kick butt female lead who is real enough to connect with but also cool enough to envy. The plot was nowhere near basic and predictable as i find most other books to be, and the fantasy world the author created is one so intriguing I would read 100 more books about it. I had trouble putting it down. even after i have long finished this series I still find my thoughts drifting back to it. The charge ter all have such amazing and u own personalities and I fell in love with each one of them. I will definitely reread this and have already recommended it to so many of my book lover friends. This book is no basic fantasy story, it’s a twisting and winding plot that will leave you on the edge of your seat and begging for more! I Finished it in three days.

There is so many thrills & secrets in this book! The characters are so intriguing, that you'll fall in love with all of them! & Jude is such a mood! I recomend to everyone that is into fantasy, adventure, Young Adult, & Romance. I AM IN LOVE

I have been a fan of other books Holly black has written, so when one of my friends told me about the Cruel Prince, I knew that I had to get my hands on it! This novel did not disappoint. It still gives you a feeling of being in a fantasy world, with fairies and trolls, secret passageways and talking doors, but from a grown-up perspective. This novel is one that you won’t put down! Written from the perspective of a young mortal girl named Jude, brought against her will to the land of the Fey, trying to find her place within it. I would recommend it to anyone wanting an fantasy adventure book, for adults
