The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, 2)

The enchanting and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince -- now in paperback!You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.The first lesson is to make yourself strong. After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished. When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.

Ugh this book was so good! It’s so rare for a sequel to be just as good as the first book but this is

The second book in the series has a bit more going on than the first one. It pays a bit more attention to the characters' unique traits and what drives them, even though their motivations can be pretty confusing at times. Honestly, it’s hard to believe that the main characters, with their poor communication skills and impulsive behavior, are somehow managing to rule over kingdoms of faerie folk. Despite this, just like the first book, this installment is mildly enjoyable and an easy read.

All I have to say is I underestimated Cardan. I’m like a proud mama.

There are so many layers upon layers in this story! Great plot twists around every corner and ended on a crazy cliff hanger.
