The pictures were soooo pretty though! I looked forward to turning every page so I could look at the illustrations.
I liked Cardan's POV and the illustrations were lovely but I do feel cheated by which scenes were shown from his perspective. It would have been amazing to see the coronation or Jude's exile, for example.
I like all these little jumps back into this world.
The illustrations are great too. I love it.
Carden is my fav moody prince.
