Book Review:
“The Cruel Prince” is a dark, twisted, and utterly addictive faerie tale. Unlike typical fae romances, this book prioritizes ambition, betrayal, and court politics over romance. Jude Duarte is a mortal human surrounded by immortal, cruel Fae. She wants power — not love — and will lie, cheat, and kill to get it. Prince Cardan is a beautiful, spoiled, vicious antagonist who you'll love to hate. The world-building is lush and dangerous, and the plot is full of shocking twists. The final 100 pages are explosive. Perfect for readers who like ruthless heroines and slow-burn tension. “Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book” – Leigh Bardugo.
