I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.

Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

Recensione

Praise for The Wicked King:
"A stunning and compelling sequel."―--SLJ, Starred Review

The Wicked King has satisfying twists and turns, sizzling passions, brutal violence, spies and revels of all sorts--no one brings the intricate courtly politics of Faerie to life quite as well, or with as much intelligence, as Holly Black.

―Shelf Awareness, starred review

*"A heady blend of courtly double-crossing, Faerie lore, and toxic attraction swirls together in the sequel to THE CRUEL PRINCE...Black's writing is both contemporary and classic; her world is, at this point, intensely well-realized, so that some plot twists seem almost inevitable."
―Kirkus, Starred Review

*"A rare second volume that surpasses the first, with, happily, more intrigue and passion still to come."―Booklist, Starred Review

*"[A] dangerous journey filled with mystery, betrayal, intrigue, and romance....Larger-than-life action in a kingdom packed with self-centered, evil, and manipulating characters also doles out real life issues."―VOYA, Starred Review

"The plot itself twists, turns, and dovetails perfectly with the assured character development; in this way, Black proves herself a master storyteller writing in the tradition of Megan Whalen Turner."―Horn Book

"An epic saga of palace intrigue and deception."―Entertainment Weekly

"Holly Black is a mistress of well-paced fantasy..."―Austin-American Statesman

"The Wicked King is so fast-paced and intense, you won't be able to put it down."―The Missourian

Praise for The Cruel Prince:
"Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book. Black's world is intoxicating, imbued with a relentless sense of peril that kept me riveted through every chapter of Jude's journey. And Jude! She is a heroine to love--brave but pragmatic, utterly human. This delicious story will seduce you and leave you desperate for just one more page."―Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom

"I require book two immediately. Holly is the Faerie Queen."―Victoria Aveyard, #1 bestselling author of The Red Queen series

* "[S]pellbinding.... Breathtaking set pieces, fully developed supporting characters, and a beguiling, tough-as-nails heroine enhance an intricate, intelligent plot that crescendos to a jaw-dropping third-act twist."―Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Another fantastic, deeply engaging, and all-consuming work from Black that belongs on all YA shelves."―School Library Journal, starred review

* "Jude, who struggles with a world she both loves and hates and would rather be powerful and safe than good, is a compelling narrator. Whatever a reader is looking for--heart-in-throat action, deadly romance, double-crossing, moral complexity--this is one heck of a ride."―Booklist, starred review

"This is a heady blend of Faerie lore, high fantasy, and high school drama, dripping with description that brings the dangerous but tempting world of Faerie to life. Black is building a complex mythology; now is a great time to tune in."―Kirkus Reviews --Questo testo si riferisce alla hardcover edizione.

engaging caracthers, engaging plot!

I like the fact that the female character is strong and vulnerable at the same time, in a world where she starts with many disadvantage (being a mere human in a world of creature with magic on their side) and turns that weakness into a strength. She is clever and exhausted having to watch her back constantly..a super human quite simply..all the characters have nuances nothing is just black or white..The ending is once again unexpected and a cliffhanger..The question is that there is always a resilient source of hope in all the characters and it seems to me that even the author herself hasn't quite figured that out what that source is..this life force has deeper roots..all it can not sustain the strain..too exhausting! it's taken for granted, as it is there for all of us, even if we don't focus on it much...the reason behind all this striving....

“I’ve wanted this and feared it, and now that it’s happening, I don’t know how I will ever want anything else.”

This was really better than The Cruel Prince! I found the very first part of the book quite boring and not really realistic, but it gets better and better. The scheming and the plotting are really involving and there is more care when dealing with relationships! At last I got to know and understand Cardan and I’m really excited about him, he seemed so weak but he is a real king 🤴. I am really excited about a sequel.. because seriously the ending is a bomb!

2,4. ⭐️

È possibile amare i protagonisti di un libro ma annoiarsi con la trama generale (eccetto un 15% finale)? In questa trilogia, per me è così. Nonostante questo secondo libro sia oggettivamente migliore del primo. E sempre per me, la mancanza di un romance sostanzioso è un grande difetto. Ci sono saghe come La Città d’Ottone, per esempio, che possono permettersi la mancanza di romance in quanto la struttura della storia e il lessico generale sono sublimi. Nella trilogia della Black, la mancanza di romance e una scrittura banale - prima persona usata male, linguaggio frivolo e tempistiche troppo incalzanti - penalizzano una trama già di per sé insipida.

P.s.: ho odiato il finale. Frettoloso, un Cardan che sembra tutt’altra persona - ma forse fa parte dell’ incoerenza della Black dato che non ha trattato bene il passaggio da bullo ad amante? - e tempi dell’azione - come al solito - troppo, troppo, troppo veloci.

Urlato. Ecco cosa ho fatto: ho urlato. Il finale mi ha fatto urlare "nooo perché perché???" e volevo lanciarlo giù dal balcone! La Black mi stupisce sempre di più con ogni suo libro. Amo il suo modo di scrivere: è fluido e non si perde mai il tema di un dialogo. I personaggi hanno un development da paura. Ho amato Cardan e il suo completo rovesciamento di personalità. In presenza di Jude poi è un amore.. *occhi a cuoricino* Arrgggg non resisto fino a Gennaio!

"Il principe crudele" mi è piaciuto molto, ma non sono mai stata una grandissima fan del libro. Il sequel, invece, mi ha praticamente lasciata senza parole. L'ho letto d'un fiato. Ad ogni capitolo non avevo idea di cosa aspettarmi, non è per niente prevedibile. E il finale mi ha lasciata completamente sconvolta. The Wicked King è un libro dai toni molto scuri, con personaggi contorti, subdoli e astuti. Non ho la più pallida idea di cosa possa succedere nell'ultimo libro, e lo attenderò con estrema ansia!

A great second book in the series

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 29 novembre 2021

Acquisto verificato

It had been a long time since I read ‘The Cruel Prince’ and although I thought it was good, I didn’t love it but I did want to finish the series. I recently discovered that I had ‘The Wicked King’ and ‘The Queen of Nothing’ already on my Kindle so I jumped back into the story although I did have to Google the original plot and characters from the first book to bring myself back up to speed. Due to the fact that I didn’t love the first book, my expectations were measured when starting this next one in the series but I was hoping for the best.

This book follows on from ‘The Cruel Prince’, where Jude tricks her long-time enemy, Prince Cardan, into becoming the new King of Faerie. Not only that, he has sworn to be under her command for a year and a day. Using her puppet king, we follow Jude as she is able to manipulate Faerie, making it strong and safe for when her little brother Oak is old enough to take the crown. Being a human that can lie becomes really important as Jude navigates family drama, threats to the crown and the constant belittlement from the Fae, who don't realise this puny human is their real leader. All this whilst balancing the love/lust/hate relationship that she and Cardan have.

Although it had been a while since I read the first book in the series, I found myself immediately getting drawn back in, the story is fascinating and for a YA book it’s very political. The characters are great and the world building is excellent. I felt that the pace of the book flowed well and the plot got deeper and deeper. The dynamic between Jude and Cardan is interesting and this means that their scenes together are very enjoyable. Jude is a great heroine because she’s not nice all the time, she does the hard stuff and makes the hard decisions to get the job done.

Black is a great writer and I think it's amazing how deceptive and sly the faerie race is when they can't tell lies. I did think that the underwater scenes dragged a bit and didn’t really capture my attention but overall there were some amazing twists and turns in this book and I enjoyed it so much that I started reading ‘The Queen of Nothing’ as soon as I had finished. That ending was gold.

Maintains everything that made The Cruel Prince enjoyable but ups the stakes and romantic tension

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 16 febbraio 2019

Acquisto verificato

I was very close to loving the previous instalment in this series, The Cruel Prince, for its writing style, its world-building and its twists and turns. But while I adored the flawed heroine, Jude, the sort-of villain, sort of potential love interest, Cardan, just didn’t quite spark my imagination, even though that’s my absolute favourite character type.
This time around, everything I enjoyed before was present and correct and perhaps improved. The characterisations, world-building and unpredictable plot only deepened. But with Cardan as king and Jude as his nominal advisor and actual power behind the throne, the stakes felt higher and everything felt a bit more mature than when they were all basically scheming schoolkids. And in turn, with more responsibility and more pressure, Cardan became a much more interesting character, simultaneously more likeable and more scary, and the sexual and political tension between him and Jude ramped up accordingly. As a result, the book really came alive for me. It was a compelling read throughout, though I particularly appreciated the two twists in quick succession at the very end.

Jude is going to the extreme limits to keep her family and the world of Faerie safe. Dodging enemies and deadly politics... the worst thing is, she likes it.

This follows on from The Cruel Prince, where Jude tricks her long-time enemy, Prince Cardan, into becoming the new King of Faerie. Not only that, he has sworn to be under her command for a year and a day.
Using her puppet king, Jude is able to manipulate Faerie, making it strong, and making it safe for when her little brother Oak is old enough to take the crown. Being a human that can lie becomes so important, as Jude navigates family drama, threats to the crown, and the constant belittlement from the Fae, who don't realise this puny human is their real leader.

I had glimpsed a few reviews and comments about this book, before I read it (thankfully no spoilers), and I was surprised at all the hate that Jude's twin sister was getting. Yes, Taryn is simpering and annoying. Yes, she had a hand in breaking Jude's heart...
Post book - I hate Taryn.

I also really wanted to hate Cardan in the end. Wanted to, not sure if I can manage it.

There were some great twists in this book that I didn't see coming. I think it's amazing how deceptive and sly this race is, when they can't tell lies.
I don't want to say anything else, because I'm afraid I might spoil it.

I can't wait for the third book!

First off I want to say I absolutely loved this book! I think it was so much better than the first book. There were so many plot twists that I didn’t see coming! I don’t even know what shocked me more. I loved the character growth with both Jude and Cardan and seeing their relationship start to bloom is amazing. I can’t wait to get stuck into the next book and see how this all plays out! I feel the ending was a little disappointing - i thought Jude was smarter than that and that she would of understood what Cardan was saying. But I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt and see where this goes.

A must-read for lovers of The Cruel Prince

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 21 gennaio 2019

Acquisto verificato

I just love the world Holly Black has created with these novels. I literally couldn't wait to read this follow up to The Cruel Prince (but had to - for waaayyy to long). I think other people have said enough about the plot. At times, I found it a little too political with plotting and scheming and I felt it lost a little of the tension between Cardan and Jude. However, for the most part it was a fantastic, immersive read. And that ending! Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to wait another year to find out what happens next.

Really, it's testament to any writer when you finish a book and feel quite lost and upset. Three days on, and I'm still missing the characters and the land Holly Black has created. It's magical, gripping and totally page-turning.
