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 was so happy when this book arrived! I was looking forward to it all year!
The last 2 months I haven't read much, just wasn't into it, but this book I devoured. Once I started it was very hard to put away every night.

I was really happy with this third part of the story and how it ended. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I think in some parts I missed a bit of depth to the story compared to the first two books and some of the tension. So, I would have loved a few pages more to read ;)

But still, I really loved the whole trilogy! I'm sure I will be re-reading it in the future!
