Hiya bookish people!

  1. I’ve read the wicked King and while I’m not surprised it is a winner as the world seems to love it, I didn’t like it at all. I think of the MC as a naricistist πŸ˜‚ though I love the idea of the novel premise.
    Haven’t read any of the other books though

    1. Jude is definitely narcissistic, but for some reason, I find that appealing because she isn’t as victimized.
      I can see why it would be rough to read, though.
      The plot idea is certainly intriguing!
