Wanna be confused?
Here’s how to be confused.
Because oak is Dain’s son and dain is cardans brother, he is cardan and Jude’s nephew, and because Jude and oak are siblings; cardans nephew is also his brother in law, and Jude’s brother is also her nephew.
Oak is half brothers with Locke, and when Taryn married Locke, oak became her brother in law as well as already being her brother, and Leander is Taryn and lockes son, and because oak is brothers with both of them, oak is leanders uncle through both his parents.
Are you confused?

Someone needs to point out to Taryn that she has a weird preference for men who betray her twin sister for their own selfish gain (Locke and The Ghost).
Edit: sorry guys I need to finish re-reading the wicked king and start re-reading the queen of nothing because apparently The Ghost was FORCED (by Locke) to betray Jude (because Locke had his true name). Lmao I can't believe I don't remember this.

"Cardan stands over me. His jacket is thrown on a nearby chair, the velvet soaked through with some dark substance. His white sleeves are pulled up, and he's washing my hands with a wet cloth. Getting the blood off of them"- The Queen of Nothing (Ch. 17)
Can I talk about this scene for a moment, because it really shows how much Cardan loves Jude. Here is a man who had been raised as a spoiled, neglected, cruel prince, caring for a mortal girl. He is helping her when she is in pain, and he is by her side even though he is High King of the Fae, and she is an (though technically not anymore) exiled mortal. He could have easily called for a servant to clean her, he could have given her her own room, he could have left her side, left her to die on the table. But no, here he is, lowering him self to her side, abandoning all the egotistical ways of thinking he was taught, and doing such a simple action, however unfitting of a king, because he doesn't trust anyone else with her to do it right.

Cardan: Why would you think any of this was a good idea?
Jude: Probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.
Cardan:
Jude: I don’t know how you keep forgetting this.

Reasons why Taryn is such a well written Anti-Hero:
SHE'S A TEENAGER. Taryn is at that "Prologue age" of 16-24 that literally means she doesn't know how to be specific in what she wants. She has hormones, She's not well versed in socializing, and has tons of insecurities that any teenager has. Nobody is really happy at the age of 16-24, and she probably hesitated on most of her decisions.
She is idealistic. That's why she felt guilty after she chose locke, because haha, the handsome guy isn't actually gonna solve all of your problems. At that age, who isn't delusional about their first real relationship??? She can't see the red flags because it never slapped her in the face. And jude was also Idealistic. Taryn chose the Class Clown, but Jude also chose the Hypocrite Prince. Glad both of them are dead.
Taryn is used to praise. She was the Extroverted sister. She wasn't that criticised or judged because she fit in. So when she makes a horrible mistake, she spiraled. Taryn betrayed her sister, and Jude helped her still. Madoc accepted Taryn because she was obedient to him. Oriana praised her more, so she felt more important than Jude. All of this further validated the fact that she doesn't really know the gravity of her choices, which she isn't emotionally equipped to shoulder. Everybody babied her decisions and forgave her. I mean, who ignores their twin sister after dating the guy she's been hanging out with??? Jude was so ready to forgive as long she apologized first?? Taryn is still immature.
In contrast to all of this, Jude embodies the characteristics of a Hero. She is NOT a hero because she is power hungry, ruthless, and vicious. BUT she chooses the much more beneficial options, disciplines herself to train, and relies on the strengths of others for help. She is Humble, she doesn't break easily, and she most definitely do not want validation from those people who look down on her. She's a really well-written morally grey villain that has the best heroic Characteristics.
