The Cruel Prince

so interestingly i have a friend who asserts these are the good fairy books (versus ACOTAR) and i found ACOTAR unputdownable whereas i could barely get through this one, but it was about the right level of complexity for an audiobook, which i did appreciate about it. still trying to break myself of the habit of rereading/skimming what i've already listened to as an ebook, though. will have to see where the story goes...
