Once upon a time, there was a human girl stolen away by faeries, and because of that, she swore to destroy them.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I CANT STOP SCREAMING. HOW WAS THIS SOMEHOW EVEN BETTER THAN THE CRUEL PRINCE??? i can’t deal. that was the best ending ever i am so shook rn i need the third book IMMEDIATELY. i love jude so, so much. she is the most complex female character i have ever read and i love her. i LOVE cardan, oh my god sjdjndndndn. and i love holly black, but i also hate her a little bit for making me wait so long for book 3. AHHHH.
