The Wicked King by Holly Black Book Summary

The enchanting and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince.
You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.
The first lesson is to make yourself strong.
After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.

M. The ending was too harsh and made me regret reading the entire series.

Best book in the trilogy!!!. Not a lot if people would consider the second book in this series the best. Of course, The Cruel Prince is considered the best in the series. But I truly found The Wicked King being my favorite! All the books in the series had such amazing writing youā€™d fall in love. But The Wicked King was probably on another level. With the cliffhanger in The Cruel Prince, this book was so much more enjoyable. The plot was everything!!! I loved the surprise in the end and all the crazy events happening in the end it caught me by surprise and I loved it. A lot of people would say that with all these things being thrown at you by surprise causes the book to be ā€˜rushedā€™, I personally think that with all these itā€™s supposed to surprise the reader. šŸšØSPOILERSšŸšØ Iā€™m not completely sure if this happened in The Queen of Nothing or The Wicked King (be aware Iā€™m writing this review months after reading the series) but oh well, when The Ghost was like ā€œI served Prince Dain not youā€ I DIED LIKE OMGGGGG I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS SO COOL WHAT AND HE DOES THING HELP ME I honestly loved how that popped up, its like a ā€œWeā€™re chill while giving highly dangerous/confidential information.ā€ Obsessed! Once again forgive me if this is in The Queen of Nothing and not this book, but Taryn is the most annoying person ever Iā€™m not gonna even bother using caps for her. I was so close to throwing a chair at her and forcing Addison Rae to defeat Vecna for her. SPOILERS FREE Okay, running away from all of that, this book was overall amazing and one of my bess reads, if youā€™re considering continuing the series donā€™t even consider just read this book!!!!! Trust me it might end up being your favorite in the series. Thank you Holly Black for creating such an amazing trilogy and characters that will remain rent free in my heart P.S. Donā€™t listen to the bad reviews (theyā€™re lying)šŸ˜‰

DANG. Poor jude got betrayed multiple times in the span of 2 monthsšŸ˜”

My heart is not okay. Just like the Cruel Prince, this book started slow for me, but I pushed onward and didnā€™t regret it. But, now my heart hurts.

Woah! I loved it!. So much that l didn't expect. I liked being surprised. I'm really liking this author.

In love with this series. Love the suspense and plot twists. Thought it couldnā€™t get any better than the first book.

Amazing. Loved it 11/10

w book. i liked it

Amazing. I love how exciting the book is, and how it keeps you wanting to read more! Also loved how much the way all the faeries said things mattered. Canā€™t wait for the next book!! I NEED more Cardan x Jude. Definitely one of the best books ever, in my opinion.

Ovoe. So good!!

Best book in the series. It was so good I swear Iā€™ve read at least 10 times

10/10. Wow just freaking wow THIS IS THE ONLY PROPER ENIMES TO LOVERS BOOK WRITTEN EVER HONESTLY PLEASE READ THIS SERIES

Great addition, captivating sequel. It just never stops giving. This series just keeps me on the edge of my seat. So many twists and turns. Jude becomes even stronger a character. Loved it!

Amazing. This book if for the readers that often find themselves guessing the ends and so called ā€œplot twistsā€ of books. All the schemes and betrayals will keep you guessing. I cannot wait for the next book!

Judeā€™s Narrating is Monotonous. I liked The Cruel Prince a lot! I enjoyed Judeā€™s story, she was witty even in between dialogues. I even grew to like Cardan. Pacing of the story was good. But in The Wicked King I found myself losing connection with most of the characters, and the story. Jude isnā€™t funny or relatable anymore. Sheā€™s a bratty, selfish, power hungry kid. Cardan lacks personality. Actually all the characters in the story have less color. Except for Roach. I liked him. But the worst part is Judeā€™s thoughts in-between dialogue. Itā€™s not realistic, and itā€™s repetitive, as if the reader needs to be reminded of the plot every other page. There are a few good pages, like the flashback scene in the beginning, but for the most part, unlike book 1, book 2 didnā€™t resonate. Hoping I get different feels in the next books.

Great Overall. I enjoyed the book because it is constantly moving forward and adding new details to the plot. The thing that drives me bonkers though, is that the first book, The Cruel Prince, only got going in the direction I wanted at the end, and then in this book, The Wicked King, the plot went off course again for me by the end of the book! Super Annoyed. Itā€™s one of those times I will end up buying the 3rd book just to finish the story but I wont be looking forward to reading it because the author seems to set the plot in ways I dislike.

Unwordable. I can't explain.. I'm stuck in shock confusion and mad. The whole book was enjoyable, it was like a movie, read it. šŸ˜… still in shock, I'm interested in the next one!! What a beautiful book..

This book was EVERYTHING!!!. I Loved šŸ„° it! I couldnā€™t put it down & read the book in two days!!

So goodā€¦.. So many twists and turnsā€¦love it!

Wow. The twists, the turns! Itā€™s so well written and Jude is a great character. Iā€™m thoroughly hooked.

Holly black has did it again. The wicked king is such a good sequel to the cruel prince. I was so happy that holly black created a sequel of one of my favorite books and did as just as an amazing job when she wrote the cruel prince.

Yay :). Amazing book! Couldnā€™t stop reading it till the end. She did it again!

I CANā€™T. When will the next book come out because how that ends is crazy like omg I canā€™t I canā€™t believe it please tell me the next book will be soon because idk if I can handle not knowing what she will do or if he even really trusted her, but he had to of like come on, she has to have some power Can mortals really not become that like what!

A wonderful twist to the idea of fairies. This book was great! To be honest I really didnā€™t like the first book. Not because it was bad but because it was just so bland. After reading this book, my whole perception of the story has changed. There is a lot more going on with a lot more character depth. We really get to see who people are in this story, and how fairies differentiate from humans in that aspect.

I CANT WAIT!!,. Ok the first book was one of the best books Iā€™ve ever read. If this one even 1/2 as good as the other one it deserves a big fat five star rating! I canā€™t wait to read and I know and hope I wonā€™t be disappointed!šŸ˜

This series ruined my life. Thatā€™s all.

A thrilling storyline full of betrayals and romance. Holly Black did it again with this amazing sequel to The Cruel Prince! Iā€™m already anxious for the next installment.

Wow šŸ¤©. This series is to good . Jude is the best main character Iā€™ve ever read ( Tied with Percy). She was amazing and anyone who likes Taryn even after the last book needs to GET OUT. This book was great like the rest of this wonderful series.ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

New book series by Holly Black. Okay so I am about to start reading this new series by Holly and I just have to say I am so excited. Holly is my favorite author and her series ā€˜The Spiderwick Chroniclesā€™ were the first books to become my favorite and gain my interest. I remember writing Holly letters and getting letters in return. Holly is the soul reason I read and write today.

Awesome. It starts slow but once it picks up you can look forward to: 1) lots of mystery and intrigue 2)āœØtensionāœØ 3) The plot twists and the satisfaction of Jude being awesome 4) Relationship development and banter - The only things I didnā€™t love were 1) Taryn and Lockeā€™s relationship (it made no sense to me) 2) Minimal character development 3) Lack of descriptions of the Fae and settings Overall, it did not disappoint!

Amazing. Finished it in a day love it soo much I really like cardan now I think heā€™s really sweet

Shook. Iconic book, I hope there is another in the series.

SO GOODDD. I love this series sm

The Wicked King. Love this series!

Um wth. Spoilers:... OK WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON. EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU THINK YOUR ABOUT TO GET A HAPPY ENDING SHE TAKES THE LAST TEN PAGES AND DESTROYS EVERYTHING. HE LITERALLY GAVE A (SUPPOSEDLY) HEARTFELT SPEECH ABOUT FEELING BAD FOR HIS PAST **MARRIES** HER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, AND THEN IT WAS ALL A TRICK?? WHO IS THIS CHARACTER?? IS EVERYTHING HE SAYS A LIE? DO ALL HIS KISSES AND KINDNESSES MEAN NOTHING?! anyways, great book :)

Absolutely loved it!. I love how everything came together in The Wicked King! So so good! Cardan is definitely my favorite character.!

Loving the story!. *Possible Spoilers* This was really good! Iā€™m enjoying the story and Jude as a character. Iā€™m still confused why everyone always talks about Cardan when talking about this series. Just like in book 1, Cardan doesnā€™t do much until the last few chapters. Heā€™s in the book more but he doesnā€™t really make an impact until the end. Plus I honestly donā€™t understand why Jude likes him. He hasnā€™t changed at all. Heā€™s attracted to her but he still says cruel things. And then Jude is cruel right back now that she has control over him. I think theyā€™re a good match but there wasnā€™t much development of the together. It was mostly just your internal thoughts. Even with that, I still really enjoyed the book. There were a lot of twists that I enjoyed and I liked seeing Judes thoughts and strategy. Iā€™m still not sure why she keeps believing her twin. Sheā€™s been betraying Jude the whole series lol and I actually like how the older sister still thinks like a fairy even though she truly believes she acts and loves humans more. I think thatā€™s very realistic because she honestly doesnā€™t understand. I also loved the last few chapters, especially when Cardan fully showed his power as High King. Iā€™m excited to read the last book and see how everything turns out.

this trilogy needs to be made a movie. amazingly consistent lore, great storylines and sufficient amount of romance

Amazing. This series is pure gold. I loved this book and canā€™t wait to read the next.

Good good book. Finished in one day so good

Entertaining. The Wicked King is quite a ride on strategy, game play, brutality, and mayhem. The story will have you scratching your head at the abilities this girl has. I honestly believe that the King cares for and may even love Jude. Many of his actions are protective in nature even if they appear revengeful. Unfortunately, Jude only ā€œseesā€ treachery at every turn.
