A big thank you to @tandemcollectiveuk @hotkeybooksya and @blackholly for sending The Folk of the Air series across as part of the readalong. It was one of the most enjoyable readalong chats - we were all very immersed! 💬
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read The Cruel Prince 🙈 and whilst I wasn’t feeling it the first 60 pages or so - wow did I get sucked in! I found it hard to close the book and save the next section. 📖
Minor Spoilers ⚠️
I really enjoyed Jude, she’s so badass and so clever, I loved her one liners and I didn’t know what she was going to do next. Taryn, I’m sad she accepted feeling weak but I think I see where her character is going - and I’m here for the chaos! Also Vivi, what a gem, I love that she was completely in on that ending 💪🏻
All the men in this book are trash - honestly, I knew they were not to be trusted. I’m unsure how I feel about Cardan, I’m glad it wasn’t a quick “oh suddenly I’m nice” switch but I’m still on the fence about who he is. 👑
My favourite characters were hands down the spies - love their dynamic. I found myself really looking forward to their banter, so I hope we get more of them in book 2! I’m excited to see how they run the kingdom 👀
Within the first 100 pages, we really had a good plot. I wasn’t a fan of the bullying but it kinda makes sense given the girls are human. I did NOT see the ending coming at all - I was shocked alongside everyone else 😂 I like how it’s been left wide open for the rest of the trilogy.
Buzzing for next month - which book so your favourite?! 📚
