Publisher's Summary
An intoxicating and bloodthirsty sequel to the New York Times best-selling The Cruel Prince, nominated for the Cilip Carnegie Medal 2019.
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed.
Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all....

HOLLY!!!! WHATTTT!!!????
I found The Cruel Prince boring, but was determined to give The Wicked King a fair chance and it did not disappoint. I couldn't stop listening!!! Holly Black, you have RUINED MY WHOLE YEAR!!!! And it was sooooooo worth it!!!
Caitlin Kelly is a brilliant narrator, I hope to one day have her narrate my books.
Give this series a go. Holly Black is the master of plot twists.

Great Plot Twists
You can never fully trust anyone’s motives and the constant trickery makes for fantastic plot twists

Better than the first book
I only gave the first book 3 stars, but this one is better. it's not a massive page-turner and still took me 4 days to get thru, but better than the first story, which was slow and tiresome. great narrator, but I won't be in a hurry to listen to the next book. nasty twist at the end.. I thought Cardan was getting better. I'm still not a fan of her twin sister either. 4 stars.
