Sophia’s Reviews > The Cruel Prince > Status Update

She lied. She made Oak practice giving the crown to him. Cardan, the one she despises most, yet is afraid she’ll be “consumed by the hungry and humiliating urgency” that she felt the first time she kissed him. Who knows how he will repay her after such kindness she has demonstrated tonight?

“Most of all, I hate you because I think of you. Often. It’s disgusting, and I can’t stop.” ~ Cardan
“You really do want me, and you hate it”. ~ Jude
“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?”
“No, tell me.” “I cannot.”
They finally kissed and he tries to stop himself for wanting that. They both have a devouring desperation and desire for each other.

Discovering about the truths of Cardan and his friends is riveting. I love that Jude told him about what happened with Valerian.
“I never wanted to kill anyone.” ~ Cardan
“Only a fool would break into the general’s house.” ~ Cardan
As his anger shifts towards Valerian instead of Jude upon seeing the bruises he wants to run his fingers over.

“You are terrifying. Nearly my whole family is dead, and while they never had much love for me, I don’t want to join them. I’ve spent all night worrying what you’re going to do, and I know exactly what I deserve. I have a reason to be nervous.” ~ Cardan
Completely true. Taryn geez you traitor, you’re lucky Jude didn’t slice you in half…

Oh. My. God. What just happened?! In a matter of pages practically all of Cardan’s brothers and sisters just died. And finallyyy Cardan is Jude’s prisoner 🤭 I feel so bad for Princess Rhyia since she was Vivi’s only friend in Faerie. And geez yeah Dain was cruel but Madoc??? Traitor!

Gosh she can’t even look at Cardan now without blushing, not after seeing those two girls all over him.

Amazinggg I honestly love her relationship with Locke so far, he’s not like the others. And what Jude has found out about Cardan is definitely a troubled past. Poor Jude though, being almost killed and all. I’m glad she’s practicing Mithridatism.

“You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell Mr and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this,” I throw his words back at him “this is the least of what I can do.”

Wow, yeah maybe the mortal world is not fit for Jude, anymore at least. But I lovedd their day out in the mall!

Love the description of this fantasy world
