Podcast Review of The Wicked King by Holly Black

We were so excited to have Olivia Gacka from That Fiction Life on YouTube on the podcast to break down our favorite and least favorite parts of the book!

We talked through: 

  • Jude's journey and claiming her power as a "creature" of faerie

  • Maddox as her father figure, and how that shaped Jude to be powerful

  • Jude and Cardan's changing relationship

  • Cardan becomes a king of faerie in truth and Jude's fear of this

  • Jude late to the party of Cardan's feelings towards her

  • Jude being kidnapped by the Undersea, tortured, and does not know if she'll survive.

  • Jude tricking Baelkin and being ruthless #weareobsessed

  • Our feelings reading the ending for the first time and then reading it a second time.
