An illustrated addition to the New York Times bestselling Folk of Air trilogy, that started with The Cruel Prince, from award-winning author Holly Black.

An irresistible return to the captivating world of Elfhame.

Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue.

Each chapter is paired with lavish and luminous full-color art, making this the perfect collector’s item to be enjoyed by both new audiences and old.

What I thought of it?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Format: hardback
ISBN13: 9781471410482 


This was the book I didn’t know I needed! 

I mean I absolutely loved The Folk of the Air series, so if you give me extra content and stories from this world, I am sold! 

But I never thought we would get something from Cardan’s point of view! AND this beautifully illustrated! 

I also believed that a novella bind up might be fun, but not bring anything new to the series, but this book allowed us some insight into Cardan’s mind, explaining his behavior and how he became the Cardan we know in the series. 

But we also get stories from after The Queen of Nothing, and it was just amazing to get back into this world and to read about Jude and Cardan again!

    Kiss the Fae   (Vicious Faeries #1)  by  Natalia Jaster What is this book about?  There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I’m about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I’m chased across the enchanted border and caught by its sinister ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don’t have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of crooked bridges, deceptive stairways, and devious inhabitants. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn’t play fair. The deeper I plunge into this dangerous world of Solitary Fae, the more I’m entangled in their ruler’s seductive web of desire—and the forbidden temptations he offers. The price of losing this wicked game is everything I love. But winning might just cost me my heart. What I thought of it?...

The Chase (Briar U #1) by Elle Kennedy  What is this book about?  All books in the series can be read as stand-alones.  Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates? I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s...

     Deity (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout What is this book about?  ! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE SECOND BOOK !  . . . Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably...
