Stuggling with a book! Need Help!!!

[Rylee]

I’m reading the Cruel Prince and I’m almost half way, I wanted to love it based on videos I saw but it’s not what I expected. Do I DNF or push through and finish it? Is the other 2 books better?

PUSH THROUGH AND FINISH IT!! YOU GOT THIS!! I personally think that the second and third books were better.

FINISH IT!!!!! the cliffhanger on the second book is OMG! so good! and the plot twist on the first book is WILD!!!!!

Keep reading.
I personally loved it from page one, but yes, it will get better, and the other two have more romance😏🍿🥤

Pacing & Setup: The first half is a lot of world-building, bullying, and political setup. Many people don’t love it until the second half, where the tension, twists, and scheming kick in. If you’re almost halfway, you’re about to hit the turning point.

Series Progression: Most readers say The Wicked King (book 2) is the best of the trilogy — sharper plotting, darker intrigue, and more romance/power plays. The Queen of Nothing is the finale; reactions are mixed, but fans usually find it satisfying.

To DNF or not:

If you’re not vibing with the bullying/slow politics, but do like scheming, enemies-to-something-more, and high-stakes twists, it’s worth pushing through — book 2 is faster and juicier.

If the writing style itself or the world just doesn’t click for you, you might not enjoy the sequels either, and a DNF is totally fair.

and yes I would say power through

Hi everyone,

I’m Carlos Madator, and I’m excited to share my debut book Wake Up to Reality: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Healing. It’s inspired by my own experiences of love and loss, written for anyone navigating grief, heartbreak, or rediscovery.

Check out the book here:

I’d be truly grateful if you read it and share your honest thoughts on Goodreads or Amazon—it would mean the world to me as an indie author. 💙

Warmly,

Cruel Prince is one of my favourite series, but if you're not enjoying it, I'd DNF it. May I ask what's different from what you expected? Bc I could tell you if sth changes so you could decide if you'd want to continue!
