Holy crap. I DEVOURED this book. I needed to know what was going to happen with Jude, Madoc, Carden, ...I mean really everyone. There were some people that Jude forgave that I'm still mad at. New friends that I LOVE and wish I got more of.
Definitely so happy that my friend Roni rec'ed this to me, and gifted it to me 🥰, so I could experience this world!

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.

“Two paths are before me, but only one leads to victory”- Jude Duarte
Spoiler
One of the moments that altered my brain chemistry :
“Jude you can’t really think I don’t know it’s you. I knew you from the moment you walk into the brugh.”-69
“She is my wife,” Cardan says, his voice is carrying over the crowd. “The rightful High Queen of Elfhame and most definitely not in exile.”-147
“It was terrifying,” he says “Watching you fall. I mean you’re generally terrifying but I am unused to fearing for you and then I was furious. I am not sure I have ever been that angry before.”
“Mortals are fragile.” I say “Not you,” he says in a way that sounds a little like a lament “you never break.”-159
“You were very formidable tonight, my queen,”-200
“My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned.”-204
“It’s you, I love” he says. “I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”-209
