Learning about Cardan’s past really lifts the Folk of the Air trilogy. Not to mention, I loved how it contained things beyond Queen of Nothing.

Reading an entire book from Cardan’s point of view was exactly what I needed! I have to admit there’s been too little of him falling for Jude in it though, and the time jumps were a little chaotic. I liked the stories within this book a lot, but wish there would have been more. Overall a nice addition to the series although I don’t think you missed out on too many things if you haven’t read this one (yet).
