Praise for The Cruel Prince:
"Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book. Black's world is
intoxicating, imbued with a relentless sense of peril that kept me
riveted through every chapter of Jude's journey. And Jude! She is a
heroine to love--brave but pragmatic, utterly human. This delicious
story will seduce you and leave you desperate for just one more
page."--Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six
of Crows and Crooked Kingdom
Praise for The Wicked King:
*"A stunning and compelling sequel."----SLJ, starred Review
* "[S]pellbinding.... Breathtaking set pieces, fully developed
supporting characters, and a beguiling, tough-as-nails heroine
enhance an intricate, intelligent plot that crescendos to a
jaw-dropping third-act twist."--Publishers Weekly, starred
review
* "Another fantastic, deeply engaging, and all-consuming work from
Black that belongs on all YA shelves."--School Library Journal,
starred review
* "Jude, who struggles with a world she both loves and hates and
would rather be powerful and safe than good, is a compelling
narrator. Whatever a reader is looking for--heart-in-throat action,
deadly romance, double-crossing, moral complexity--this is one heck
of a ride."--Booklist, starred review
*"[A] dangerous journey filled with mystery, betrayal, intrigue,
and romance.... Larger-than-life action in a kingdom packed with
self-centered, evil, and manipulating characters also doles out
real life issues."--VOYA, starred Review
*"A heady blend of courtly double-crossing, Faerie lore, and toxic
attraction swirls together in the sequel to THE CRUEL PRINCE....
Black's writing is both contemporary and classic; her world is, at
this point, intensely well-realized, so that some plot twists seem
almost inevitable."--Kirkus, starred Review
*"A rare second volume that surpasses the first, with, happily,
more intrigue and passion still to come."--Booklist, Starred
Review
"I require book two immediately. Holly is the Faerie
Queen."--Victoria Aveyard, #1 bestselling author of The Red Queen
series
"This is a heady blend of Faerie lore, high fantasy, and high
school drama, dripping with description that brings the dangerous
but tempting world of Faerie to life. Black is building a complex
mythology; now is a great time to tune in."--Kirkus Reviews
