The Queen of Nothing | 
so-soSo far the best out of the three books of the series.
I get why people like these books for their political writing and the combination of enemies to lovers trope.🖤
But I feel like there is so much or rather too much happening in just such a short amount of time.
Still this book had me hooked and I managed to read it in less than 24 hours
pickIf you love sharp-fanged Fairylands, twisted court politics, enemies-to-lovers, and a heroine as hard-nosed, badass, and morally gray as she is secretly loyal and true-hearted, you‘ll love the Folk of the Air series! I particularly relished how this trilogy reflects on and interweaves childhood trauma, romantic relationships, and power dynamics, all while being fun, surprising, and a little feral the whole time.
pickJude and Cardan‘s relationship is so love-hate and each will do as they please. Kinda enjoyed the ending.
pickThird book in The Cruel Prince Series and my favorite. The pace and plot are the best of the three, although reading the others is necessary to understand the characters. Each is a short read.
pickBook 3 in the series and I enjoyed the direction the plot went. As I‘ve said before, these characters are not likeable but they are really gripping stories. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cardan smiles, his gaze on me. “And scheming great schemes.”
To family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming great schemes. I can toast to that.

pickAll in all, the trilogy was quite satisfying. Things felt just a little bit rushed toward the end of this third book but I liked it, and I think that the series as a whole is structured such that everything makes sense.
pickThis whole series is an amazing example that you can have a amazing fantasy, political book and also an enemies to lovers trope. It‘s absolutely amazing highly recommend this series. Holly Black is the queen of making you think you know whats going on then a huge plot twist happens, and you have no idea what the hell is going on anymore
pickThe final book of the Folk of the Air trilogy.
pickActually pretty shocked at how quickly I got through this book!
Great end to the trilogy. It was a tad predictable at times, but how mad can you be when you get what you want?

pickThird book of the “Folk of the air” series. 4⭐️ out of 5.
Strong beginning, thrilling throughout the book, dramatic towards the end. A worthy ending for the Trilogy and the book I liked best from the series.

so-soThe best book of the three, but still not all that impressed by the story. Cant win them all I suppose
pickThis series was a rollercoaster of emotions and plot twists. This last book was a doozy and it might be my favorite out of the three of them. Black continuously added depth to the characters and plot which made it a fantastic read. I absolutely loved Jude, Cardan, and their character growths both for better and for worse. Also the intense plot was amazing, I loved it. I wish I could forget the series just to experience it for the first time again.
Anddd just like that I have less than 100 pages of the last of the trilogy! Time just kind of flew reading this series; it definitely gets better from the first book, which I liked but didn‘t love, and I think that‘s what kept me from reading this series sooner. I have no clue how everything is going to be wrapped up in so few pages, but I guess we will see!⚔️🐍
pickI think I‘m back in Young-Adult fever. In 2018, I read The Cruel Prince & loved it, and then somehow I never continued the series. Over the last weekend, I read all 3 books (I spent ~6 hours on trains) and throughly enjoyed them.
#TheCruelPrince: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,5/5
#TheWickedKing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,5/5
#QueenofNothing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

pickSigh❤️❤️❤️ Loved this book even more the second time around. I still felt all the anxiety praying for a happy ending for Jude and Carden. I can‘t wait for the Stolen Heir to come out. Also, I really love how short each one of these books are. Like you don‘t need 800 pages to do a great fantasy story.
pickHolly Black‘s expert use of descriptive verbs creates vivid characters that are ever-changing and growing, constructing a plausible world, where love does not fail.
pickA fairytale trope heavy, predictable end to the trilogy but fun getting there. Enjoyed this series for an easy read that was well done.
The Royal Astrologer, Baphen, squinted at the star chart and tried not to flinch when it seemed sure the youngest prince of Elfhame was about to be dropped on his royal head.

pickOMG, I just love this book. I usually annotate my favourite scenes and quotes but in this book, I liked every scene that I almost filled it with highlights. Totally recommend it.
pickThe folk of the air series is not my usual type of go-to book so I was a bit skeptical in the beginning.
This book was, just like the second one, very exciting.
Things were happening non-stop which doesn‘t allow the story to get boring, that was pretty cool.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jude Duarte.

The tagged book was an amazing end to a favorite series! #AlphabetGame #LetterQ

“And you.” He looks at me, his lips curving in something that‘s not quite a smile; it‘s more and less than that. “I knew little else, but I always knew you.”
And when he kisses me, I feel as though I can finally breathe again.”
“I have asked you to lie to me in the past, in this very room, but I would beg you not to lie now.”
“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.” He walks to the door to the royal chambers, as though to end the conversation. “You probably guessed as much,” he says. “But just in case you didn‘t.”
“Mock me all you like. Whatever I imagined then, now it is I who would beg and grovel for a kind word from your lips.” His eyes are black with desire. “By you, I am forever undone.”
pickI read this beginning to end on a five hour car ride, and I had so many feelings that are too hard to express. Cardans character development had me literally crying, going from almost killing her to expressing his love for her in the ways every girl dreams of. I will truly miss this series.
pickSpent 3 days with my sister in law Jenna in the small town of Seldovia. Our friend Joe flew us in and we water taxied out. I read the entirety of Queen of Nothing and enjoyed the sun, waves, and a few Blueberry Mojitos (IYNYK) . I‘ll give more thoughts on the book soon. Worth the wait for the ending? Probs not but I still enjoyed it. #adventuring #ya #camping
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Holy macaroni was this book good. I was worried that the last book of the series wouldn‘t live up to my expectations that the previous two books delivered, but man did this conclusion do that and more. My only complaint is that I wish Cardan‘s letters to Jude had been included and not only in special editions of the book. Overall, I enjoyed this series very much and it was better than I expected!
pickWhat an amazing series I'm so sad to have finished this book. These characters will stay with me for a long time . This has become my new favourite series 🥰 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickThis was a solid end to the series and one I enjoyed given I wasn‘t a huge fan of the first book. Holly Black is creative and crafts some really imaginative characters. #100readchallenge #readingchallenge2022
February wrap up. I‘m proud of how many books I managed to read this month! #sandcastle #yourlifehasbeendelayed #chewvolume4 #imthinkingofendingthings #thecruelprince #thewickedking #thequeenofnothing #jamilahatheendoftheworld #februarywrapup #februarywrapup2022 #hollyblack #marissameyer #ianreid #johnlayman #marylouzeitoun #frederikpeeters
pickStayed up half the night reading this and came down with a cold the next day 🤧🤧Was it worth it? Hmm. I definitely didn‘t want to stop reading, but Jude continues to be a bit clueless. She‘s badass with a sword though and Cardan has some nice development. A fun series. If you‘re looking for a Feyre/Rhys type of romance, you will be disappointed. The romance is very much a side plot. I still feel there could be more world building. But a pick!
pickI mean, after how the second book ended I had to find out what happens next even if it was 4 in the morning. Somehow over the last day I've absorbed this book. Some things were a little too neat at the end (and I have to believe Jude has been willfully blind about obvious things throughout) but overall I'm very happy to have lost the past couple days to this trilogy.
