Not even a third of the way through, I was certain this book would exceed my love for the first book and I was right. I love the growth of the characters and watching both Jude and Cardan learn how to shed the lessons they learned about themselves and love from their toxic parental figures, learn how to have ambition without greed, and learn how to find their strength in their vulnerabilities. I was reluctant to finish this book because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story. 

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.

a very tense conclusion! loved the more romance in this book it was great! the s book has not left my mind since i read it. Jude is so amazing but newly raw in this book - we get to learn a bit about her deeper emotions bere and it’s truly very captivating. this was my favorite of the trilogy.

Holly Black, you’ve done it again. The massive conflict between the Crown and Judes father, who commands an army of his own. There are several surprises in store in this book, as well as a truly stunning transformation for Carden. I really loved this book, and I’m very sad the series is over. 10/10 would recommend.

I’m a little sad the Folk of the Air trilogy is over. Luckily there’s still one more book about the High King of Elfhame for me to read! The Queen of Nothing was another dazzling part of the story and I love how there were so many plot twists to begin with! I could finally go back to not hating certain characters in peace again. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 out of 5 stars) from me!

I do wish we could have seen more from Cardan through this story though. Holly Black could write a whole book about just him interacting with Jude and her family and I’d read it at least twice.

And Jude, I want to be like Jude. Usually you imagine yourself as the main character so you can fall in love with the dashing male protagonist but I’d actually want to be her because she is so cool and brave and strong and cunning. 🗡🐍
