This one had less intrigue and scheming, which made it a bit less enjoyable for me, but I did feel for Cardan the more I learned about him. In The Wicked King, Jude, a mortal in the fae realm, will have to figure out how to hold onto the position of power she’s schemed and manipulated her way into.

In The Cruel Prince, a human raised in the faery realm is tormented by the fae and realizes the only way she’s going to belong there is to be more like them and to snatch up the opportunity for power when she gets it. The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air Book 1) by Holly Black *Quick Reviews are posts where I share summaries and links for reviews I’ve recently posted to Goodreads and Amazon but don’t plan to make full review posts for here on the blog. Anyway, here are the links for the three main books in the series, plus some extras! I enjoyed some the complex family relationships and twisty court intrigue, at least. I was probably being a bit nice with my 3.5 star ratings, now that I think back on it, but that’s fine. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I wasn’t a big fan.

This time for my quick reviews I have the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black! (Minus The Lost Sisters, which will be in a separate post since it’s a short story.) If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a YA series about a human raised in the fae realm.
