The Wicked King (Folk of the Air, #2)

by Holly Black

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wouldn't buy it, but I didn't mind reading it.
For me, it felt as if The Wicked King definitely contained some parts that were rushed (the ending) and not revised properly. Some choices seemed to be made purely in order to serve the plot.

If I remember correctly, there was a scene where Jude gets an arrow in her leg. The way she keeps going and fighting afterward, with the arrow still in her leg, felt so incredibly unbelievable to me that I put the book down for a week.

Also, in the end, I think she killed Balekin way too easily. It also felt out of character for Jude not to ask Cardan about exiling or hurting her if she took away her hold over him. She can't think of everything, but I honestly thought she would have normally thought about this.
