Man, although the first book of the folk of air trilogy is my fave. This one managed to even get me more interested in the overall story and plot. I really liked that the reader also found out more about Cardan's sad and tragic past. His and Jude's dynamic were just as good maybe even better than in the cruel prince. They are really my fave book couple to ever exist. Holly Black really did the trope enemies to lovers wonderfully.
