Can you read this as a stand alone or do I... — Wicked Beauty Q&A (2024)

FAQs

Can Wicked Beauty be read as a standalone? ›

I would suggest reading the books in order if possible but they can be read standalone. You will just miss some of the world building and background plot if you read out of order.

Dana Mendoza Technically you can read it as a stand alone, but the other ones are so good, and the placement of some of the background characters in this one is determined in the previous books.

To answer questions about The Wicked King, please sign up. Melissa No it cannot be read as a standalone. It starts from where The Cruel Prince left. Happy reading!

Katee Robert You can absolutely read in any order! The timelines are concurrent.

Sarah (Miller) Fine You don't HAVE TO, but it's recommended. The author does a good job at recapping what you've missed otherwise :) I THINK IT'S 100% WORTH IT. The whole series has been great so far - I can't wait for the sequel to this book, it comes out at the end of July (THE KING)!

(Girl, Forgotten can be read as a stand alone but you'll understand it much better if you've read Pieces of Her.) Andrea is now a US Marshall and has been assigned to protect a judge, one Esther Vaughn, the subject of violent death threats.

Katee Robert's Wicked Beauty is a scorching romance that reimagines Helen, Achilles and Patroclus in a polyamorous relationship.

Probably the biggest disappointment is it's just not very spicy.

There is a great deal of explicit, twisted content that is not explored in a way meant for kids or adolescents. It requires context and understanding that adult readers will bring. I definitely wouldn't advise anyone under 18 read it. I read it when I was in my mid 20s and I'm still traumatized.

The Cruel Prince starts out with some extreme distain between Jude and Cardan, but after a shared goal forces them to spend a lot more time together… tensions of a different variety start to form between the two. Aside from some dangerously passionate kissing, I'll say the first book might be a little tame.

Does Oak become king? ›

Madoc uses Oak for his plans for Oak to become king but since he is not of age, he will be able to be the ruler and would convince Oak to do everything he wishes to do when he comes of age. However, Madoc's plans are ruined by Jude. Cardan takes his nephew's place as High King until he comes of age.

It depends. Shadow and bone is your more typical fantasy book, whereas Cruel prince is definitely more violent. If you haven't read it, I'd go with six of crows first. Six of crows is a better introduction into the shadow and bone world, and is more of a mix when it come to tropes and adventure.

The next book you should read is The Wicked King. It's the second book in the Folk of The Air series and the second book that follows Jude Duarte's story. Then after you read the Wicked King, you should read The Queen of Nothing. It's final installment in Jude Duarte's story.

It takes place before The Wicked King because it's Taryn's perspective during The Cruel Prince. Is it necessary to read in the series? It's not necessary to read in the series because it's complementary. But you know we can't resist anything Holly Black writes!

The wickedly-good trilogy consists of the first book, Kingdom of the Wicked, second book, Kingdom of the Cursed, and the third book, Kingdom of the Feared. The three books from the popular YA fantasy romance series should be read in that order. Pick up the Box Set today and let the mystery and magic unfold.

Each novel focuses on a different main couple, but the others are there along the way and we get little glimpses into their lives. Each novel can definitely be read on its own, but still fit together as a series.

Hollie Yes. Each book in the series focuses on a different pairing.

Olympus Books All my books set in Olympus are interconnected, but every series can be read as a standalone.

Brigid The story is complete and it can stand alone, but there will be a sequel.
