The Cruel Prince

After a long break from reading "The cruel prince" was the book that made me fall in love with reading all over again. It reminded me of being a little girl, staying up far too late just to squeeze in one more chapter of a story I simply couldn't quite put down. The world of Elfhame is enchanting, a place where magic, beauty and danger as well as cruelty exist, creating the perfect balance. Holly Black's descriptions are so vivid that you feel as though you are experiencing the world alongside Jude. I also enjoyed the way, that her and Cardan's relationship developed. It never felt rushed and every interaction added something meaningful to their dynamic. It even got a few chuckles out of me here and there. If you're a devoted slow-burn fan, who also enjoys a well-written enemies-to-lovers romance, this book is exactly what you're looking for.

Ich habe dieses Buch auf einer Empfehlung gelesen und mich sofort in die ganze Reihe verliebt. Das Setting ist so gut beschrieben, jeder Charakter hat so viel Tiefe und die Lover to Enemy ist so subtil. Wirklich eine Empfehlung vom ganzen Herzen!

I always get lost in the story and find such comfort in all the characters. It’s the perfect mix between enemies to lovers and slow burn. If you like fantasy you’ll love this series. It’s a perfect match for autumn.

I am completely in love with this book! The whole world of "Elfhame" is so well described, I actually want to live there! I also really like the characters and their development throughout the story. There are so many plottwists. So if you like faeries, enemies-to-lovers and hidden worlds, this is definitely a must read!

Bevor ich das Buch angefangen habe, hab ich lesen gehasst. Dieses Buch hat mich nicht nur zum Lesen gebracht, sondern auch in die Welt eintauchen lassen. Durch dieses Buch versteht man erst richtig, was es heißt, ENEMIES to Lovers zu lesen. Meiner Meinung nach ein unglaublich toller Schreibstil und selbst jetzt wo ich schon mehr Bücher gelesen hab, ist das immer noch meine Nummer 1.
