The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) by Holly Black

3 stars This is just one of those books that is super difficult to review. Overall, it was good. I think my downfall was reading The Darkest Part of the Forest before this one. I absolutely loved that book. It was amazing. I loved everything about it. When I figured out this series was set in the…
