Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

Queen of Nothing (Folk of the Air, #3)

by Holly Black

The intoxicating and bloodthirsty finale to the New York Times bestselling The Cruel Prince, nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019, and New York Times bestseller The Wicked King, winner of the Best YA Fantasy category in the Goodreads Choice Awards

After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watching reality television, and doing odd jobs, including squaring up to a cannibalistic faerie.

When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking a favour, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.

I don't know what happened with this series... I am so disappointed with this book. Not that I loved the first two as much, but I had a good time with those. But this time... It was predictable, some twists were just ridiculous, and a lot of characters had no motivations at all.


Why did Jude go there for Taryn? Why did Madoc give up at the end? Why did she think that changing Cardan in a giant snake would be the best way to end this series? I don't understand...
