★★★★★ No one told me this would end on a cliffhanger, but end it does on a cliffhanger. I don’t even know how to begin processing what I just read. I’ve read all 6 books in the Wicked Prince collection, and this is the only one that has emotionally destroyed me and brought me to actual tears. The enemies to lovers storyline of our MCs was written well and developed organically. The side characters and found family and real family will pull at your heartstrings and leave you wanting more. The villain, the true villain, will blow your mind and I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay with it. The last 20%, but especially the last 10%, of the book had me flipping pages and thinking no f--- way and what the hell and just no so many times; the chokehold it had on me will not be leaving me anytime soon.I need the next boon for this world ASAP, like yesterday. I just can’t.
