The Wicked King by Holly Black
blurb

The human aspect that my group chose was “money“. Throughout the story, money is constantly brought up and is the pillar on which their bet is played. 15 years in imprisonment, in exchange for 2 million dollars. Money symbolizes greed and selfishness, and so does the banker. This story expressed that knowledge and freedom don't have a value that can be paid for with paper currency.

I finished reading the 4th book of the Harry Potter series and I think my main takeaway was that the books are so incredibly different from the movies. I grew up watching the movies and they've become a huge comfort to me, but the books have so much more depth and personality, this book especially. Harry enters the most difficult period of his life starting In the book, and the intensity of the tasks in the tri-wizard tournament is so captivating.

Lather and Nothing Else | Hernando Tellez

I believe the moral conflict was considering what would truly be the right decision. He had the opportunity, he could have easily killed the Captain and prevented so many deaths, but would it be worth it? If he killed the captain, he would be the same as him, a murderer through and through. I think the barber made the right decision in choosing not to take his life, but knowing that the man he let free would kill on that same day must be haunting.

Since it is a sequel, I cant say much, but basically, Jude and Carden(the main characters)have this enemy to lovers kinda thing going on, and Carden is now King of Elfham(this fantasy world full of faeries that he now has to rule). Carden is a faerie himself, but Jude on the other hand, is a human, and basically they hate each other but they have to Rule Elfham together, and it's driving Jude crazy. He's driving Jude crazy. I rate this book a 10!
