She is human and she may be ambitious but she is also fueled by fear. In the previous books we see Jude become a spy, play the game of political intrigue, she makes some amazing boss moves, and some mistakes too. Jude is absolutely flawed but that’s what I love about her. She’s not a likable character but I find her ambition and focus admirable and real. “Perhaps I will never live without fear, perhaps power will slip from my grasp, perhaps the pain of losing him will hurt more than I can bear.” The Queen of Nothing by. Has she lost everything because she reached too high? Did Cardan toy with her as fae are known to do with humans? And what of her sister Taryn and her betrayal? Jude thought she had the upper hand but maybe she really is now the Queen of nothing. Jude starts off The Queen of Nothing trying to survive in the mortal world and wondering when and if she can ever go back to faerie. Jude is exiled from Elfhame, her husband, Cardan, the High King, has banished her. This starts a whole chain of twisty events, we watch her rise in The Cruel Prince and we watch her fall in The Wicked King, so here we are in The Queen of Nothing. And if she couldn’t be a faerie, she wanted them to fear her. She always knew her place in the pecking order of things in Faerie but Jude wanted more.
Just a recap, Jude is a human girl raised in Faerie. I didn’t have enough time and when my copy got delivered yesterday I couldn’t wait and read it. I read the two other books in this series before I started this blog, so maybe one day I’ll write mini reviews for them – and I was attempting to reread them before QoN came out, but failed. It left me happy, sad and yet oh so satisfied. 😂 It was everything I anticipated and more. This was my most anticipated 2019 read and I finally got my hands on it and the series is over. The finale to the New York Times bestselling Folk of Air trilogy, that started with The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King, from award-winning author Holly Black. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and uncover how to break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking of a favor, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watches her fair share of reality television, and does the odd job or two, including trying to convince a cannibalistic faerie from hunting her own in the mortal world.
