The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black is a one-of-a-kind series with magnificent world-building and an enemies-to-lovers romance that is really good. Even though the beginning isn't really interesting, as the book progresses it gets better. The book is a slow burn fantasy with a lot of interesting characters. The Characters in this book are not your typical characters. Some of them give you second hand embarrassment, some you will love, and others you will hate. Overall the book is good and if you decide you want to continue reading more then I recommend reading the rest of the series.
The book is about a town called Madison where people are granted a wish on their 18th birthday. We follow the main character, Eldon Wikes as he struggles to find what to wish for. Eldon has seen other people wish for things that indirectly made his life worse. He sees the consequences and effects of other people's wish. He's pressured by his mother to wish for money to help their finance situation. He also struggles if he should wish for beauty, skill, etc. He also gets influenced by his friends and peers on what he should wish for. He ends up deciding on what he wants to wish for.
