Adorei ler no POV do Cardan e de entender melhor o background dele. Apesar de pequenina, foi uma história fofinha e uma boa maneira de terminar a série, gostei muito. Comprei o livro sem saber que era ilustrado e devo dizer que é capaz de ser o livro mais bonito que eu tenho, ilustrações lindíssimas, foi mesmo uma boa leitura

Oh, how I ran to purchase this book... I very mistakingly thought that this was the exact book that would contain Cardan's letters that Jude had never received. But as it turned out, those letters are printed only in the special B&N edition of "Queen of Nothing" which I consider a huge crime. Thankfully, very kind Tumblr users shared those precious letters with the world, and I shall never be the same.
What about this book? It's a nice and illustrated fable-like snippet of Cardan's POV which is soaked through with the progress of his obsession. It added to a little more of my hate of Locke and Nicasia and gave us a few more sweet Jurdan moments. Was it as engaging as the original trilogy or Cardan's letters? Not really. It's just a nice wholesome bonus to what we already know of Cardan's personality.
“You didn’t hear the story I told,” he goes on. “A shame. It featured a handsome boy with a heart of stone and a natural aptitude for villainy. Everything you could like.”

A series of stories that follow Cardan's journey. It's short but absolutely charming. Imagine reading a fairy tale book for kids, filled with beautiful illustrations and fables, but the protagonist is that super handsome fae you fantasize about.

Serie de cuentos que siguen la historia de Cardan. Es pequeño pero muy lindo. Es como leer un libro de cuentos de hadas para niños, lleno de dibujos hermosos y fabulas, pero el protagonista es un super papucho del cual te enamoraste en otros libros.
