Synopsis

In this second book we go thorough Jude's hardship to keep Cadan's position as king save to gave it later to her brother Oak once he's older and wise enough.  Jude got power over Cardan because he promise to do it for a year and a day, become "the king of fool" for her, while Jude struggle to keep that king position in the threat of Prince Balekin's scheme to take over the throne although he's practically in jail (because Cardan don't want to kill his only living brother). Also keeping the throne from Madoc's scheme to take over although he's still the general of the High king.

So simply saying this is the struggle of Jude for keeping the throne save from threats around her while she's just a human versus the faeries.

My Review

This book is full of surprise, i like how the relationship between Cardan and Jude growing, a lot of tricks happening thanks to Locke who broke Jude's heart in book one and then going to marry her twin sister instead and also purpose to Cardan become The Master of Revels (well, in simple terms is, he's kind of the man who made entertainment for the king in occasions in palace).

Expect betrayal and plot twist! A biggest betrayal in this book took me by surprise. Never see that coming and i gave applause for that to Holy Black for it.

My Verdict

Read it! I gave it 4.5 stars read for it, Thank GOD i gave this book a go, because i'm quite a disappointed by the first book but i guess we can categorize this one as sequel worth read to save the whole series just in case you about to stop reading because of the first book.

Just in case you missed it
