Dlaczego król elfów nie znosił baśni by Holly Black
5.0
I couldn't wait to start this book. I love The Folk of the Air trilogy and I could finally get a look at Cardan's way of thinking and see what he thought about Jude and others.
The book is beautifully illustrated, which makes reading it more enjoyable. The pictures set a magical mood and portray the mystery of the characters. I read it in one sitting despite telling myself that I'll only read half.
We get to find out what shaped Cardan into the person we know from the trilogy. He could never trust anyone - even his closest friends managed to stab him in the back.
We also see that his mind is often filled with thoughts about Jude. And although at first he thinks it's hatred, we all know that's not the case.
I really like the use of stories in the different stages of Cardan's life. The mirror his thoughts and his past quite well.
