This is a lovely post script to The Folk of the Air series, the illustrations really made it extra special. I like that we both got prequel and epilogue Cardan. If I had any criticism it would be that I wish there had been a little more on the epilogue side.

De illustraties waren mooi, maar de rest was echt ‘go girl give us nothing’

Het is waarschijnlijk leuker als je de originele trilogie geweldig vond, maar ik geef tegenwoordig echt niks om die serie, de personages, de wereld of het verhaal dus ja. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The artwork is absolutely stunning - my favourite part of the book. I also enjoyed seeing more of Cardan's backstory and understanding his character a little better. However, some stories were filler stories and didn't add much. A nice short read though
