 don’t know if I’m in the minority here or not or if it’s because I’m sleep deprived but I am absolutely IN LOVE with this book.

Holly Black, you’ve done it again. The massive conflict between the Crown and Judes father, who commands an army of his own. There are several surprises in store in this book, as well as a truly stunning transformation for Carden. I really loved this book, and I’m very sad the series is over. 10/10 would recommend.

I’m a little sad the Folk of the Air trilogy is over. Luckily there’s still one more book about the High King of Elfhame for me to read! The Queen of Nothing was another dazzling part of the story and I love how there were so many plot twists to begin with! I could finally go back to not hating certain characters in peace again. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 out of 5 stars) from me!

I do wish we could have seen more from Cardan through this story though. Holly Black could write a whole book about just him interacting with Jude and her family and I’d read it at least twice.

And Jude, I want to be like Jude. Usually you imagine yourself as the main character so you can fall in love with the dashing male protagonist but I’d actually want to be her because she is so cool and brave and strong and cunning. 🗡🐍

I can't believe it that it took me only 4 days to finish a 3 book series! 
Where does this energy go when I am studying?
