The king of the Court of Love wants me dead, the queen wants me in her bed, and the prince... He wants the only piece of me I will never surrender. They call me jester, dancer, trickster, lover. I exist to entertain. But behind my sideways smiles, my quick hands, and magician's tricks, I trade in their lies, their secrets. I know their deepest desires, their wicked schemes. Their sins are my currency. Their reign is a card castle, and I hold the card that's about to bring it all down. And they say I'm the fool...

Oh man. I went from loving this book to wanting to throw my kindle out my window. I liked the beginning, but after that, the situation for the two main characters, instead of improving and going in a better direction, went literally as far away from it as possible. I know there will be the second book, but damn. I just wanted them to be together or something. 
 
The book has a double point of view, Lark and the Prince of Love. Lark is the jester in the Court of Love, but that's just his cover because he's there for a reason. I don’t want to write spoilers here, but the the plot is basically a big lie. There’s a lot of secrets, lies and mysteries which momentarily made my head spin. If you are looking for a romance fantasy, well, I wouldn’t recommend it as the romance part is kinda lacking here. Everything in this book is against our two main characters to be together, so kinda frustrating. I hope the next book will be heavier on the romance part because I need them to be together. Happy together. 


  
    "He did own me. But not all of me. Not my heart. Another owned that. A prince made of honey and sunshine. I swallowed."

“My Lark… My beautiful lie.” I looked at my hands. Why did everything I touch fall apart?"
  


The whole setting of the world was really great. I liked that the world was divided into courts, Love, War, Pain, and Justice court. But, the political part was a mess. 
I couldn’t understand the fact that the villain - the kind of the Pain court- killed and destroyed everyone and everything in his proximity, but they still didn’t killed him, even though they had a chance? More than once. 

I’m still contemplating if I will read the next book, but I probably will. I need to see Lark and the Prince of Love together. Nice addition would be if everyone died and left them alone too.
