I loved it so much. Cardan and Jude are so perfect for each other. His character development is so good and she is so badass. They are such the power couple. Fuck Madoc though. I’m glad Locke is dead. The Bomb and the Roach are so cute together, I’m glad he’s okay, and I hope in the future Taran and The  Ghost end up together. Really good action and twists. And i love that in the end everything made sense.

i’m so in love with this book i want to cry. i did get mad that they battle part was so short but then apparently Cardan was a snake for less than 72hrs so it makes sense i guess. Anyways i love the characters, i love holly black and i just wish that woman wrote more adult content cause i KNOW her spice scenes would me god tier.

I absolutely adore the ending to this trilogy!! Holly Black truly outdid herself. This has become one of my top favorites! 
As with the others, it’s a 5 star book, aside from some odd phrasings here and there.

 An wonderful finale to the Folk of the Air Trilogy. From the swords clashing, from spells, and the passion that is Cardan and Jude. Thank you Holly Black. An immense thank you to give me and others the ability to escape and imagine the hidden world that is Faerieland.

This was an amazing ending of the folk of the air series! I read it in like 2/3 days because I could not put it down😍 At first I was kind of disappointed, it felt like I was reading the wicked king all over again. Jude was in pain and agony, court problems, scheming schemes, Cardan is a dick, why can’t they confess their love to each other, more scheming. 
But then it just kept getting better and better. Omg I loooove this book it was a great reading experience and I could kill to read I again for the first time. 

I love the character development both Jude and Cardan has done. I nearly started crying when Cardan told Jude that he loved her. But I think that Black focused too much on scheming and too little on Jude and Cardan. Yes they got each other in the end and that was truly beautiful and heartwarming but that was like the 3 last pages. And they had their little sex scene in the middle but other than that it was not much of them tightened. I would like a bit more romantic stuff etc. ONE QUESTION IS JUDE GOING TO DIE OF OLD AGE AND CARDAN IS JUST LEFT ALONE???? FOR ETERNITY??? PLS 🤟😞 
I loved how it was not sure how the book would end, it was hell believe me, but I was always asking myself if Cardan would be a serpent forever or if he would die or if he would be tamed or something else. It was nerve racking. I also loved the little side story about Heather and Vivi, I was kind of invested. 
HOLLY BLACK THANK YOU FOR GIVING JUDE A BREAK IN THE END FINALLY SHE DESERVED THAT SOOO MUCH🥲🥲 JUDE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH IT HURTS THINKING ABOUT. I HOPE SHE CAN REST FOR A BIT NOW. 

 
I am truly heartbroken that this series is over. It had its ups and downs but in conclusion it was really good. The last book is the best one, I think. Maybe the first. - I can’t decide. No queen of nothing is the best, maybe, I love it so much. Easy 5/5 I’m gonna reread it soon.
