This was a good read but not quite what I was expecting. There was a lot more politics then what I was expecting. The adentures were fun. I'm not sure if I'll read the others in this series.

I have conflicting emotions about this... 
On one hand, the writing style really isn't my cup of tea, and got me struggling to keep reading. 
On the other hand though, the plot is intriguing, not much the first part tbh but it had me so engaged for the second half I couldn't pit the book down. 
Alas, giving it 4 stars felt a bit like an insult to other books I very much enjoyed, we'll have to make do with 3.5

I felt like the little kid in A Princess Bride in some parts ('is this a kissing book?') but the political intrigue...the angst...it's so good!!

adventurous challenging dark emotional

5.0

Spänning, överraskningar och förräderi, är bara början på denna makalösa fantasy bok. Den här boken överträffade mina förväntningar och jag kan knappt vänta på att få hem andra boken i serien. 

Boken handlar om Jude som fördes till Faerie som barn tillsammans med sina systrar. Som människa i Faerie blir hon mobbad men allt hon vill är att passa in. När Jude blir äldre inser hon att hon inte kommer på en plats i Faerie om hon inte skapar en själv men vägen till makt kantas av fara och förräderi, och Cardan, prins av Faerie, hotar allt som hon försöker bygga. 

En fantastisk spännande bok som jag definitivt rekommenderar. Den är på engelska och är för unga vuxna. Oerhört läsvärd!!
