This?” he demands, looking down at the waves far beneath them. "This is how you traveled? What if the enchantment ended while Vivi wasn’t with you?” wait omg what if we finally find out what cardan was gonna say when he was like "about last night.." but Jude cuts him off to say she got it out her system...don't touch me When i wrote my review for The Cruel Prince i said and i quote myself: He isn’t cruel because he wants to be. He is a Cruel Prince because he has been raised up in it, instructed in its nuances, honed through its application. This is the story of that Cruel Prince, how he became what he was. In all honesty, this novella was not what I expected. I fell in love with this series originally because of its biting prose and the first person narration that made me feel right inside the series’s main character Jude’s head. I assumed this would follow the same style, simply telling a short snippet of the original series from Cardan’s point of view. After Queen of Nothing revealed Cardan had always felt differently about Jude than he’d let on, I desperately wanted to see their relationship again from his perspective. Caelia Greenbriar: Daughter of Eldred; Sister to Balekin, Dain, Elowyn, Rhiya and half-sister to Cardan; Killed by the Ghost

Jude visits Grimsen to buy a gift for Taryn's wedding. Grimsen tells her he knows of her mortal father's metalworking and suggests that he once taught him. He offers Jude a pair of earrings to give Taryn in exchange for one of Jude's tears. The earrings are enchanted to magnify the wearer's beauty. Grimsen asks Jude to take a message to the king: if they go to war, he will fashion armor that cannot be penetrated and swords so strong Cardan will easily win. Alla povera Taniot, e a Caelia e Rhyia che sono state costrette a scoprire, una alla volta, che la corona è più importante delle loro vite.” Garrett, "The Ghost": Member of the Court of Shadows; Dain's former spy and shooting expert; Taryn's lover I suppose I would have plummeted out of the air,” Jude tells him with troubling equanimity, her expression saying, Horrible risks are entirely normal to me . The Plague has left a population divided between Elites and Ordinaries—those who have powers and those who don’t; now, an Ordinary teen fights for her life.

Il principio del mio fastidio: un prologo in terza persona e successivamente la storia in prima. V.a.b.b.è. This is the perfect collector’s items for fans of Elfhame with each chapter being paired with full-color art. All in all, I loved this. The book was awesome, mostly because I will never get tired of Cardan this world. And yes, I am aware that this is less of a review of the book, and more of an insight to my Cardan obsession nobody asked for.

At first, the narrative doesn’t seem very cohesive. It begins with Cardan and Jude, already High King and Queen, flying to the mortal world to deal with an issue that’s just come up. After that brief introduction, we return to Cardan as a child, unloved by his family and ignored by everyone else. Next, we see him move in with and begin to be abused by his brother Balekin, because he has nowhere else to go. We see his relationship with Nicasia blossom, then wither and die. Finally, we return to him and Jude in the mortal world. Jude goes to the Court of Shadows to work on her safety plans for Oak. Cardan arrives to bring her news of what he discovered from Nicasia after a few kisses. Her mother plans to act during Taryn's wedding. Before he leaves, he mentions the intimacy that happened between them the other night. Jude cuts him off and says she is sure it served the same purpose for both of them: to get it out of their system. Cardan Greenbriar, despite me absolutely despising him in TCP because of how much of an asshole he was to Jude and her twin sister Taryn, is a character I eventually came to love truly.In a time of typewriters and steam engines, Iris Winnow awaits word from her older brother, who has enlisted on the side of Enva the Skyward goddess. Alcohol abuse led to her mother’s losing her job, and Iris has dropped out of school and found work utilizing her writing skills at the Oath Gazette. Hiding the stress of her home issues behind a brave face, Iris competes for valuable assignments that may one day earn her the coveted columnist position. Her rival for the job is handsome and wealthy Roman Kitt, whose prose entrances her so much she avoids reading his articles. At home, she writes cathartic letters to her brother, never posting them but instead placing them in her wardrobe, where they vanish overnight. One day Iris receives a reply, which, along with other events, pushes her to make dramatic life decisions. Magic plays a quiet role in this story, and readers may for a time forget there is anything supernatural going on. This is more of a wartime tale of broken families, inspired youths, and higher powers using people as pawns. It flirts with clichéd tropes but also takes some startling turns. Main characters are assumed White; same-sex marriages and gender equality at the warfront appear to be the norm in this world. Vivienne "Vivi" Duarte: Eva and Madoc's daughter; Justin's adopted daughter; Jude and Taryn's half-sister; Oak's adoptive sister; Heather's girlfriend It turned out that Cardan didn’t have a heart of stone after all. As he removed his shirt and sank to his knees, as he fisted his hands and tried not to cry out when the strap fell, he burned with hatred. Hatred for Dain; for his father; for all the siblings who didn’t take him in and the one who did; for his mother, who spat at his feet as she was led away; for stupid, disgusting mortals; for all of Elfhame and everyone in it. Hate that was so bright and hot that it was the first thing that truly warmed him. Hate that felt so good that he welcomed being consumed by it. How he was given Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that Jude comes across in his room in The Cruel Prince. And how this lead to him liking human tales, being surprised by their imaginations, and collecting more human books.

La trama non è complicata ma coinvolgente, siamo nella terra delle fate quindi in un luogo dove le regole sono ben diverse da quelle umane. Jude e Taryn sono umane, sorelle gemelle, portate nel regno delle fate dall'ex marito della loro madre e vengono cresciute come fossero sue figlie.From the very first chapter to the last, I COULD NOT put this series down for more than an hour. It had me reading until 3:00am for days on end to finish it, and I have since read everything two more times because I was so utterly depressed when I finished it. As I was reading, I would often stop to just soak in the illustrations. They truly brought these stories to life and gave them the magical quality of an old-time fairy tale. Van, "The Roach": Member of the Court of Shadows; Dain's former spy and theft expert; Liliver's lover

Ho deciso di scrivere le mie opinioni solamente al termine della lettura dell’intera storia, dunque quello che lèggerete qui sotto non è il mio pensiero limitato a “La regina del nulla”, ma a tutta la trilogia de “Il principe crudele” (NO SPOILER, ovviamente)

T his?” he demands, looking down at the waves far beneath them. “This is how you traveled? What if the enchantment ended while Vivi wasn’t with you?” “I suppose I would have plummeted out of the air,” Jude tells him with troubling equanimity, her expression saying, Horrible risks are entirely normal to me. Cardan has to admit that the ragwort steeds are swift and that there is something thrilling about tangling his hand in a leafy mane and racing across the sky. It’s not as though he doesn’t enjoy a little danger, just that he doesn’t gorge himself on it, unlike some people. He cuts his gaze toward his unpredictable, mortal High Queen, whose wild brown hair is blowing around her face, whose amber eyes are alight when she looks at him. They are two people who ought to have, by all rights, remained enemies forever. He can’t believe his good fortune, can’t trace the path that got him here. “Now that I agreed to travel your way,” he shouts over the wind, “you ought to give me something I want. Like a promise you won’t fight some monster just to impress one of the solitary fey who, as far as I can tell, you don’t even like.” Jude gives him a look. It is an expression that he never once saw her make when they attended the palace school together, yet from the first he saw it, he knew it to be her truest face. Conspiratorial. Daring. Bold. Even without the look, he ought to know her answer. Of course she wants to fight it, whatever it is. She feels as though she has something to prove at all times. Feels as though she has to earn the crown on her head over and over again. Once, she told Cardan the story of confronting Madoc after she’d drugged him, but before the poison began to work. While Cardan was in the next room, drinking wine and chatting, she was swinging a sword at her foster father, stalling for time. Book Genre: Fae, Fairies, Fantasy, Fiction, Magic, Novella, Paranormal, Romance, Short Stories, Young Adult, Young Adult Fantasy I'm so proud of her character development, and in all honesty, she's one of the strongest and best female characters in all of the literary world (in my opinion, of course). The contempt made him feel as though she saw beneath all his sharp and polished edges. It reminded him of how his father and all the Court had seen him, before he learned how to shield himself with villainy.
