Dear Holly Black,
First of all, how dare you?
Second of all, you are NOT supposed to go around burying rusty knives into people's hearts. That's illegal. This is illegal. Please stop writing illegal stuff.
Thank you.
Best,
Chai
P.S. Will Cardan ever get a break? Or just like, therapy?

"cause of death: the mental image of cardan lounging carelessly on his throne, his crown standing at an insouciant angle on his messy hair, a glass of wine in his hand, a cold smile on his face and when he leans forward to talk to jude, his crown tips a bit on his brow"

"call me useless & whiny all you want. call my parents whiny. call my entire bloodline whiny. but don’t you dare call cardan greenbriar – whose own father hated him just by virtue of existing, who was forced to live in an abusive household, who was so terrified to the point he had to get drunk as shit to even think about facing his brother, the man who abused him all his life, whiny or useless. I will personally fight"

"I'm legitimately laughing because when Jude realizes that she might actually have feelings for Cardan, her first thought was literally: "I must immediately kill him""

"trope that should never die: when two characters are so in love and neither has admitted their feelings to each other yet, but then one of them gets hurt and the other one starts completely freaking out and suddenly neither of them is in denial anymore"

"Cardan: we need to show everyone that I am not a feckless high king!
Jude: and how do you suggest we do that?
Cardan: with great difficulty because I’m afraid they’re not wrong
this. this is why I would lay down both of my kidneys for this idiot"

SAME. Why can't all the books come out at once so we can preserve our sanity???
I KNOW RIGHT?? It’s not like authors have lives beyond their careers... >_>
hahahahahahahahhaha well u have to deal with it ^^
I'd rather wait a whole year than read a shitty book. Some people are really ungrateful. smh

authors should do a new thing where they publish a whole series at one time because waiting for the next book in a series sucks!
I am really sorry for upsetting you. It's just you have really great reviews and I didn't expect from you to make a comment like that. It's hard to spot written humor when you don't know someone's sense of humor. Also I made the comment while I was very upset so I'm very sorry for upsetting you too.
Oops I hope you didn’t think of my comment as passive aggressive! I was trying to be wittily sarcastic, apparently it didn’t work 🙊

I could not agree with this any more than I already do.
Publishers need to release books sooner! Because half the time the eagerness to read the next book wears off!
I was just thinking the same thing T,T
it is like most of my life consists of waiting for books, rather than reading them. Authors are way ahead in writing books though, holly is most likely working on the third book now. Still a year wait for The wicked king. for now all I can do is discuss or perhaps cryogenically freeze myself until january 2019
I'm beginning to think the people who wait to start a series until all the books are out have the right idea.
I NEED THIS BOOK SO MUCH OMG. Why do we have to wait?
That cover reveal and excerpt both gave me life and are slowly killing me with anticipation.

same to be honest, I hate it
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻PREACHI often won’t even continue the series if I have to wait more than 6 months. 🙊🙊🙊🙊

sometimes I just forget about it or lose interest

Especially with that purdy cover
totally agree !!! I hate waitiiing
I can't believe some people has an ARC of this
This the reason i don’t even start a series till its complete!!!
Yes. That's so true. I just can't tolerate it. 😣😣
Can't believe ARCs are out for this already, not fair!!!
you’re so lucky!! i feel like the arcs of this book vanished in .2 seconds!
