She is a mortal, but she has ambitions, she wants power and she knows how to get her hands on it. The Faeries all despise humans and Jude despises Faeries too.
We follow the main character, Jude Duarte, a mortal girl, stolen away from her parents and the mortal world, along with her two sisters and taken to the world of Faerie. The Cruel Prince is the first book in the YA fantasy series The Folk of the Air by Holly Black. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.Īs Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. Good things! It’s the first book I’ve picked on my February TBR and it didn’tĭisappoint, so keep reading to find out what I thought about The Cruel Prince! GOODREADS I only just acquired all three books because I knew that when I read this, I was going to want to binge the whole series, but guess who forgot the other two books back in France?ĭecember, Noly and I decided that we wanted to read something with Fae and weĪutomatically picked The Cruel Prince because we had both been hearing such I had been wanting to read this book ever since it came out two years ago and I had been putting it off for so long because unless I get a new released book in my monthly Fairyloot box or it is a Goodreads book club pick, I don’t generally pick up new releases until they are a few months – or years – old. I want to be part of the unfolding of the tale.” – The Cruel Prince “ Because you’re like a story that hasn’t happened yet.
