A must-read for any fan of The Folk of the Air series! It adds so much context to an already rich story and remains one of my all-time favorite novellas!
Original 2021 Read - 5 stars
This is probably the best novella I've ever read.
It was interesting to learn more about Cardan's upbringing and details that led to the events of The Cruel Prince. Holly Black developed such incredibly complex characters within this series who shined through her incredible storytelling. The cleverness of this story's craftsmanship is what really stood out the most.
This was both a simple yet brilliant addition to the main character's stories and I hope we will one day get more content set within this world!
