An irresistible return to the captivating world of Elfhame.

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

Before he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone . Revealing a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame’s enigmatic high king, Cardan, his tale includes delicious details of life before The Cruel Prince, an adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing, and familiar moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy, told wholly from Cardan’s perspective.

This new installment in the Folk of the Air series is a return to the heart-racing romance, danger, humor, and drama that enchanted readers everywhere. 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.

Surprised there isn't a thread for this already! I'll be reading it in a few days :)

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[I'm really enjoying getting Cardan's perspective. The fact that he sees himself as a villain doing villainous things before he gets defeated... that's such a intriguing way to perceive oneself. (hide spoiler)]

I was surprised too there wasn't already a thread. This series is really popular.

I'm excited to fly through this one, I love the illustrations! Should get to it in the next few days

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[I liked the second version of the story as well. And who knew Cardan liked to read? Though it makes sense because he has such a lonely life. (hide spoiler)]

The End
(view spoiler)[I loved that it came full circle! And Carden's version of the story was really good. The fact that the "monster girl" wasn't cured because he doesn't want Jude to be. That her being a "monster" was actually her strength rather than a curse. I love this book. (hide spoiler)]

Wow 5 stars!

I know! I honestly didn't expect that. I didn't give any of the books in the series five stars. But the art and the story were just so whimsical and cool. I had a great time reading it.

Yeah and it'll be quick too!

Yeah, it's a very fast read.

Hopefully I get to it soon <3

Damn 1 day too late to be able to count my BR :( Ah well XD It's only 1 point anyway thanks to illustrations
