I’ve been trying to cut back on the amount of physical books I buy since I’m about to move, but I had to get the hardcover copy of this book. The collection of stories take place before and after the main three books, and it centers around Cardan (although most of the other main characters make an appearance at least once). It isn’t necessary to understand the main story, but it was super nice to revisit a world and characters that I’ve missed since the finale was released. This book of short stories felt a lot like fan-service. 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. 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. 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. #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame’s enigmatic high king, Cardan. Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue.īefore he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone.
