** spoiler alert **

Mas que final foi este?! Fiquei com vontade de gritar para o livro, não estava nada à espera que isto acontecesse!!

A Holly Black é um génio por ter escrito um enredo tão intrigante é inteligente. Adoro o quanto está história é sombria, cheia de violência e traições, é difícil perceber em quem podemos confiar e leva-me a questionar tudo aquilo que as personagens fazem. Mais uma vez, o worldbuilding é espetacular, deixa-me completamente fascinada.

A Jude é uma das minhas personagens favoritas de sempre. Ela cresceu imenso e tornou-se uma mulher incrível, sabe aquilo que quero e sabe como o conseguir, está disposta a fazer o inimaginável para alcançar os seus objetivos. Ela é cruel e impiedosa, por vezes, mas o seu coração não endureceu e, lá no fundo, tudo o que ela quer é ser aceite, valorizada e amada, saber que é importante para alguém.

O Cardan também teve um crescimento incrível desde o primeiro livro. Quando o conhecemos pela primeira vez, parece apenas ser um rapaz cruel, que somente procura diversão, muitas vezes às custas dos outros. Ele é perverso, magoa os outros e parece importar-se com nada. Contudo, neste livro, vêmo-lo sobre outra perspectiva. Não querendo desculpar aquilo que ele fez, conhecendo um pouco mais da sua história e a forma como cresceu, não consigo deixar de compreender porque é que ele se comporta de tal maneira. Toda a sua vida, foi visto como um inútil, apenas um rapaz estúpido, sem valor. Neste segundo volume, torna-se rei, mas continua a ser um fantoche, tendo que seguir as ordens da Jude. Mas, aos poucos, Cardan foi percebendo que pode ser muito mais, pode pensar por si próprio e construir o seu próprio caminho. Acho que ele finalmente se apercebe do enorme poder que tem e aquilo que pode fazer com ele. Apesar de me ter magoado imenso aquilo que aconteceu com a Jude no final, vê-la tão impotente, o Cardan foi muito inteligente nas suas jogadas. A Jude mentiu-lhe imenso, mesmo quando ele mostrou que confiava nela, acho que, de alguma forma, ele também se quis vingar.

Estes dois conseguem fazer o meu coração derreter, ao mesmo tempo que o partem. Eles têm tanta dificuldade em compreender os seus sentimentos.

Holly Black
“Kiss me again,â€� he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“He looks up at me with his night-colored eyes, beautiful and terrible all at once. “For a moment,â€� he says, “I wondered if it wasn’t you shooting bolts at me.â€�

I make a face at him. “And what made you decide it wasn’t?�

He grins up at me. “They missed.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“Kill him before he makes you love him.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“If he thought I was bad, I would be worse. If he thought I was cruel, I would be horrifying.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“His eyes are open, watching my flushed face, my ragged breathing. I try to stop myself from making embarrassing noises. It’s more intimate than the way he’s touching me, to be looked at like that. I hate that he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. I hate being vulnerable. I hate that I throw my head back, baring my throat. I hate the way I cling to him, the nails of one hand digging into his back, my thoughts splintering, and the single last thing in my head: that I like him better than I’ve ever liked anyone and that of all the things he’s ever done to me, making me like him so much is by far the worst.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“Our eyes meet, and something dangerous sparks.

He hates you, I remind myself.

“Kiss me again,� he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.�

I feel those words, feel them like a kick to the stomach. He sees my expression and laughs, a sound full of mockery. I can’t tell which of us he’s laughing at.

He hates you. Even if he wants you, he hates you.

Maybe he hates you the more for it.

After a moment, his eyes flutter closed. His voice falls to a whisper, as though he’s talking to himself. “If you’re the sickness, I suppose you can’t also be the cure.�

He drifts off to sleep, but I am wide awake.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“And the single last thing in my head: that I like him better than I've ever liked anyone and that of all the things he's ever done to me, making me like him so much is by far the worst.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“I wasn't kind, Jude. Not to many people. Not to you. I wasn't sure if I wanted you or if I wanted you gone from my sight so that I would stop feeling as I did, which made me even more unkind. But when you were gone—truly gone beneath the waves—I hated myself as I never have before.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“Once upon a time, there was a human girl stolen away by faeries, and because of that, she swore to destroy them.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Holly Black
“I’ve wanted this and feared it, and now that it’s happening, I don’t know how I will ever want anything else.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King
