(book review)

“Let’s have a toast. To the incompetence of our enemies.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

3 stars. The book is quite splendid and specific. First of all, I must note – the book is for very big dreamers. The author has a very big imagination. As a result, some moments were difficult to understand, because the author replaced many everyday words with invented ones, so you will need time to get used to this oddity.

However, I really liked the book, although the book is aimed at teenagers, it absorbed me into the magical world from head to toe.

In this book, the author created a fictional parallel between the world of people and the world of fairies (fairies and other creatures). Also, the book seems simple, but many human problems that exist in our world are veiled in it.

I will not specifically spoil it, because I want you to get to know this kiga story on your own.

For lovers of romance and detective stories, I also recommend it, because there are several intertwining storylines, love intrigues and espionage moments behind the king’s back, the decision of the future fate of the state, all this can be read on the pages of this book.
