3.5 ⭐️ - 1 🌶️ - SPOILER FREE
This book was an impressive sequel to such an action packed start. Whilst I feel as though having such a fast pace start to the trilogy let this book down. This book was very slow up until the 70% mark. However, the vibes, THE VIBES! Absolutely incredible. The world building and politics in this book kept me hooked. The Wicked King really builds upon the political system laid out in The Cruel Prince which I really enjoyed. Carden is absolutely hilarious, I love his sense of humour, I also really love Vivienne.
In the second half this book really gives you whiplash, so much happens. So much drama and betrayal which I absolutely loved. I cant wait to get into ‘The Queen of Nothing’

Какво мога да кажа? Винаги, когато съм чела края на тази част от поредицата, съм на ръба. Но този път докато я слушах: Speechless... Epic... Mind-blowing...
Also THAT BITCH! And the OTHER BITCH! And the THIRD BITCH! iykyk.
Quotes:
“It was good to be hugged. Even by a monster.”
"Rules are different for poets."
“Kill him before he makes you love him.”
“Watching my back is the perfect opportunity to stick a knife in it.”
“- For a moment, I wondered if it wasn’t you shooting bolts at me.
- And what made you decide it wasn’t?
- They missed.”
"Revenge is sweet, but ice cream is sweeter."
