"I start to speak, but he stops me with a gesture. 'And you.' He looks at me, his lips curving in something that's not quite a smile; it's more and less than that. 'I knew little else, but I always knew you.'"

- Cardan Greenbriar, The Queen of Nothing

I finished the prisoner’s throne and i am disappointed. I have been processing for a while but ai think it just doesn’t measure up to the original books. Like at all.

The pacing is so off. Like nothing happens for so long and then everything happens. Idk how to explain it was just annoying

The confessions and ending didn’t give the payoff. Like everything just wrapped up so neatly and I was just meh about it.

The biggest flaw for me is the writing. Like was it always this bad? My username is a quote from the series so clearly I loved the original books. But this was just middle grade level sentences.

This is a political intrigue nov disguised as a fantasy novel however, this time it just didn’t hit. Like whenever there was a problem, there was a convenient magical solution rather than court politics (wren’s rebirth, oak in the nutshell, bogdana losing her power). I wanted more scheming and less metamorphosis

Cardan is still love though. Ge’s so baby girl and is even sexier now when he schemes. Jide and him i want eat up. But yeah everything else was whatever.

Deleted Scenes From The Cruel Prince

(Some of these are alternate storylines)

These are all of them, both deleted and alternate storyline. I highly recommend buying this TCP edition 🫶🏼 as it comes with gorgeous artwork and a neat velvet cover!

Cardan getting over his drinking and drug addiction from the first book into just drinking moderately in the last book is possibly one of the greatest "show and tell" examples in tfota.

“I hate being unwell,” he says. “You’re not sick,” Jude tells him. “You are recovering from being stabbed—or rather, throwing yourself on a knife.” “You would have done the same for me,” he says airily. “I would not,” Jude snaps. “Liar,” Cardan says fondly.

The Cruel Prince Deleted Scene 3

Just want to say that Holly makes a note in this book that says any scene with Cardan was cut because she was trying to make him truly awful, and some of these deleted scenes showed too much of his sympathetic side (imsuffering)

Scenes 1 and 2, all scenes here

Thinking about the time after Jude and Cardan's dance in Dain's coronation when Cardan looked at her as if she is an illusion then drank a whole pitcher of wine to numb the pain.
