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.

Woow.. that was a perfect ending !!! LOVED IT !!
This whole series is great, love the characters, they go through a lot of character development and are all precious in their own way. The Faerieland is very creepy, eerie setting.
The plot is interesting and filled with plottwists. Love that I don't know what is going to happen, it keeps me guessing what their next move is going to be, awesome !! Even getting towards the ending, I was really afraid what was going to happen and really wanted them to get what they wanted. I was really invested and finished the book the same day !
Also, she shows how a series do not need to be 600/800 pages per book to make it great.
Holly Black has become one of my favourite authors, can't wait to see what she is going to come up with next !!
