Plus, what about the whole mortal – immortal conflict? At some point it’s mentioned that while staying in Faerie, mortals will remain young – but what if she wants to visit Heather, Vivi and Oak. Now she exiles her father but is super okay with the fact that the future king will continue being raised by that “tyrant”? During the whole second book, Jude is trying to prevent Madoc from influencing Oak and that’s the whole reason Vivi and Oak escaped to the mortal world in the first place. Okay: Oak is returning to the mortal world with exiled Madoc and Oriana accompanying her husband. That was just a little disappointing… #3 Unclear endings No people turned to be very bad and manipulative and Jude didn’t realize any actions/ advice that turned out to be false afterwards. Here, however, there was no intrigue to be found. #2 Not many political intriguesĪnother very important aspect why this series was super special were the political intrigues that played a huge role in book 1&2.

Don’t get me wrong here, I totally ship them, they’re awesome – but it just went a little too fast from wicked and cruel to super sweet and emotional. But then it turns out that the exile was only meant to be a kind of joke/provocation and that he truly loves Jude. I spent hours trying to figure out what sort of a character he is and I loved that Holly Black was able to create such a complex character.

Cardan was the only literary characters who’s intentions I wasn’t able to figure out and who’s actions weren’t just a little see-through at some point. This is one of the main reasons why I hyped this series so much. I will devide this review in negative and positive aspects, but will start off with the negatives ones! #1 Cardan’s unknown intentions actually being super sweet She’s forced to engage in the country’s political intrigues and and her action will shape the country’s future more than ever… Jude is forced to choose between her ambition and humanity as Faerie is on the brink of war. But when her twin sister Taryn appears on her door step and desperately needs her help, she is forced to return to the world of Faerie in order to safe her sister’s life.įacing Cardan again, Jude is not only confronted by her feelings, but also by her father, who’s planning on overthrowing the king to become the new ruler. Synopsis: Jude has been exiled by the wicked king Cardan, forced to live in the mortal world with no one knowing she’s the legitimate High Queen of Faerie.
