an embarrassingly unhinged deep dive into The Cruel Prince | plot recap

[anachelidze]

Jude is so “my father is the worst man alive & I am his favorite daughter” coded 💕

[jumisjam]

did i already read this entire series? yes. will i still watch bc honestly it was a fever dream? yes.

[sinthuchiva]

Please please do wicked king and every other book ever. Your humour and the way you explain things. Chefs kiss. This video is criminally underrated and I will be suing someone.

[kanej]

"our fav little snake, prince cardan" THE FORESHADOWING

[lordofmistakesl]

The way Jude ATE everyone up when she crowned Cardan *silent screams*

[cynthiaolivares]

The way they continuously betray each other always has me GAGGED

[AshR]

I love the contrast between all of the sisters. Viv inherently belongs and doesn't want to, Taryn will break herself to fit the mould and Jude will break the mould to fit her.

[jsmith]

Vivi is an underrated character as far as I’m concerned. Gotta give her credit for sticking to her word, and I find the unconditional love for her siblings very endearing. It exists between Jude and Taryn also, and it always comes back around, which I appreciate, but not the same. Vivi would never do the things that Taryn does.

[kportz]

I think that Taryn stealing the fabric out from under Jude’s nose was very bratty but that’s also just very much twin sister vibes. Like they share a face there’s bound to be some resentment there

[stardust]

I love how the first poem is about how wonderful it would be to be a fae child, and then the book opens and it’s so unhinged and gives off completely different vibes. Pretty clever if you ask me. 🧚‍♀️ 🌺

[orcaa]

i love collecting 20something girlies who make unhinged feature film length videos about books. each one i find pushes me closer to the edge myself

[Wnderyrs]

5:15 literally only 5 mins in and I just need to compliment you on how interactive-ish it’s feeling w the Jude’s brain jar & the puzzle pieces. As a frequent watcher of these types of videos, it’s really helpful and a fun way to stay engaged in the video

[astelius]

*when Jude was with Locke and we didn’t know what he was doing, I was like ‘awww they’re kinda cute’ and my friend who had already read the book was like ‘that will fade 🤭’ AND I WAS SO CONFUSED UNTIL THAT HAPPENED*

[mahaabaalkhail]

the way I finished the video AND STILL wanna read the book just shows how well done this recap is

[signesoderstrom]

"all you need to know at the moment is that Jude hates him. Passionately." I'm dead 😭

[renardroi]

ive read cruel prince twice (i never reread books) and now Im an hour into this. nobody understands me like holly black understands me. we are all kindred spirits in this comment section i think. thank you for this video god... i love the jar i love your descriptions and your voice. top tier vid

[camicami]

this is feeding my cruel prince obsession

[daisyhollins]

Amazing, I was so surprised no one else had made an unhinged recap of this so far and didn’t want to have to read it myself!

[iwouldgiveyouthemoon_]

as someone who’s read this series four (?) times, it’s so funny every time a marble is added to “jude’s brain”. because it’s always so accurate 😭

[doctergoogle]

Please I am begging you, do a part 2, your energy is just so perfect for this
