Kaitlyn‘s review of The Queen of Nothing (Folk of the Air, Book 3) by Holly Black
Paranormal Romance published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers 19 Nov 19
The conclusion of my Cardan feelings evolution:
• I KNEW I was supposed to like Cardan
• Cardan’s got tail jokes now? I don’t know how to feel about this
• Cardan is getting hotter and I’m no longer ashamed to admit it
• Cardan I’m so proud of you!
• WHYYYYY
• Jk everything’s fine, especially Cardan
So this series is a Cardan roller coaster, but I loved every minute of it.
Another really fun plot and the characters all grew into their strengths in this book. Jude is as incredible and tough as ever. I feel like she is finally driven by something other than a need for power, which makes me love her even more.
I don’t know if I like the second or third book more, but I blew through both of them – so I’m going to say it’s a tie. My only complaint with this series is why are the books so short? Give me more, please.
Grade: B+
Summary:
He will be the destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne
Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. Jude learned this lesson when she released her control over the wicked king, Cardan, in exchange for immeasurable power.
Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left reeling from Cardan’s betrayal. She bides her time determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her twin sister, Taryn, whose life is in peril.
Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict’s bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her humanity . . .
