Jude: And thus, by slowly taking larger and larger amounts of these small doses, our bodies will become used to the poisons, eventually making us immune to even lethal amounts.

Cardan: I thought we were just doing drugs together.

Okay sooooo, why is no one talking about Cardan’s real voice?

I was looking back at my annotations and remembered an important detail about cardan’s development.

“I don’t know,” Cardan says again, in a raw way that makes Oak think of being trapped in the royal bedchamber and overhearing him and Jude together. It’s Cardan’s real voice, the one he uses when he’s not performing.

(TPT, chap 20, pg 269)

Here’s another quote:

“I have little experience of dispensing brotherly wisdom, but I know a great deal about mistakes. And about hiding behind a mask.” He salutes with his wineglass. “Some might say that I still do, but they would be wrong. To those I love, I am myself. Too much myself sometimes”

Oak laughs. “Jude wouldn’t say that.”

Cardan takes a deep swallow of plum-dark wine, looking pleased with himself. “She would, but she’d be lying.”

(TPT, Chap 24, Pg 347)

This is such an important detail and a great development for Cardan. I love how deep Holly Black goes into her characters. In most of TFOTA series, we got to see this cruel, and angry prince who hid behind a mask to make himself look scary. Fast forward 8 years later, he slowly took that mask off to only those he loves and cherishes, Jude, and the rest of the family. Can’t wait to see more of Cardan in the future!

One of my favorite things about The Cruel Prince is how Vivi, Jude and Taryn are literally raised by the murderer of theirs parents! Any other book would make Madoc a despicable and abusive villain, but I love how Holly Black made Madoc a reliable and caring father-figure… while kind of still being a villain.

He raises the twins alike his own blood, he teaches them everything he knows of combat and strategy, he makes sure they study with the noble children, Oriana forbids the girls of telling Madoc if they are mistreated bc she knows he will be furious about them being hurt, he genuinely wants to paint the walls with the blood of the folk who made Jude eat fairy fruity, when Taryn desires to marry the jerk of Locke he lets it clear that he knows it’s gonna go wrong, but allows her to do whatever she feels she will be happy and says she can always come back home when that thing blows up, even Jude mentions in The Wicked King how Madoc would call an army surgeon to take care of her shot leg.

And not even mentioning the fact Madoc pampered Taryn a lot in his war camp and stabbed Jude in The Queen of Nothing and had the nerve of saying he wanted to take her to the medics bc he would never let her die. Also, he sending a letter to Cardan furious and cursing him for being the “reason for his daughter died”.

Ruthless yet caring villain dads give me strength <3
