How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories (The Folk of the Air series): The perfect gift for fans of Fantasy Fiction

Product Information

This 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.

There are so many great lines, I wish I could record them all but then I’d just end up spoiling the entire book. We’re also shown fresh peeks into Locke and Nicasia’s lives, and how they were catalysts for his cruelty. Whatever a reader is looking for--heart-in-throat action, deadly romance, double-crossing, moral complexity--this is one heck of a ride.At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. I believe I just had a front row seat to what this book is gonna be like so I don’t think I even need to read it anymore. I am incredibly biased over this series because so much of my heart and nostalgia are wrapped up within this world, but I honestly think there is just so much to love on every page of this book.

I was already in love with her and her art because of her work with The Wayward Children series, but this entire book feels like am immersive work of art. This edgy, dark fantasy will be a hit with young adults who like their magical creatures to live in a recognizably contemporary world. I hate that this was a novella and not a whole novel because diving into Cardan’s mind was such an interesting little adventure.We also get to see so much of Cardan’s perspective during The Cruel Prince, much like we did with Tarryn in The Lost Sisters, and it was everything. I feared that there would be too many scenes from the original trilogy that would be from Cardan’s point of view.

The main series is predominantly about Jude so I think a book from Cardan’s perspective was definitely necessary.Trading Address (Warehouse) Unit E, Vulcan Business Complex, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EB. Black's stark, eerie tone; propulsive pacing; and fulsome world building will certainly delight her legion of fans. It is not included in promotions available to our main range products, as stated in our terms of service. 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.
