Review: the Queen of Nothing

Title: the Queen of Nothing
Series: the Folk of Air
Author: Holly Black
Release Date: Nov 19, 2019

He will be destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne.

Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. Jude learned this lesson when she released her control over the wicked king, Cardan, in exchange for immeasurable power.

Now as the exiled mortal Queen of Faerie, Jude is powerless and left reeling from Cardan’s betrayal. She bides her time determined to reclaim everything he took from her. Opportunity arrives in the form of her deceptive twin sister, Taryn, whose mortal life is in peril.

Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict’s bloody politics.

And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her humanity…

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the highly anticipated and jaw-dropping finale to The Folk of the Air trilogy.

So I have had this book since November and have finally gotten around to reading it! It is the third book in the Folk of Air trilogy and they must be read in order!

Queen of Nothing follows Jude's story after the ending of the Wicked King.
Jude has been exiled after she released her hold on the Wicked King, Cardan in exchange for immeasurable power. Now she is powerless and left reeling after Cardan's betrayal. But she is determined to reclaim everything. And opportunity strikes when her twin sister Taryn's life is on the line. Jude must risk it all venturing back into the treacherous Fairies Court, and confront her feelings for Cardan. But War is also brewing on the horizon. And when a dormant but powerful curse has been unleashed and panic spreads across the lands, Jude must decide between her ambition for power and her humanity...

I loved the Cruel Prince and the Wicked King and was on the edge of my seat as I impatiently waited for the release of the Queen of Nothing. I needed answers. I loved the not being able to predict what was going to happen next. From Jude trying to figure out her feelings for Cardan, to war, and curses. To magic, power, and family. This book has a little bit of everything for those who love fairies and fantasy.

I loved Cardan since the very beginning and loved him still throughout this book. Cardan was still cruel and wicked but also so much more. I was a little disappointed in Jude for not finding a way out of her exile alone. And the ending felt a little bit like a let down. I am glad everyone survived but felt that there should have maybe been at least one casualty on the good side considering the war AND the curse. It also felt a little rushed.
But otherwise I loved the book, and the conclusion to such a fantastic series! 4.5 wicked ⭐'s out of 5⭐.

Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.

She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.

So this past weekend my aunt passed away. But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school.

We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match. What I Read This Week: Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

As my daughter's school year is winding down, they are trying to cram more things in it - from chorus concerts, to a play, to fun days, and field trips and parties... So it's been a bit hectic. Also, last Thursday went to run errands before my daughter's chorus concert, & to grab Leather & Lark from Walmart (live in a small town. Walmart is the only place to buy books locally). And they were completely sold out 😭 So I ordered it online (Amazon "2 day shipping" still takes a week 😒). Plus I got a book last week - only UPS left it in a puddle. 😭 We were all home. Could have knocked or even honked or SOMETHING - but no. So also waiting on the replacement for that was well. Also, I tried to convince my husband we needed to go to B&N in NYC (which is like 7 hours south of us give or take 😂😂) to meet Brynne Weaver to no success. Annnddd... I tried the challenge of getting my husband to buy my wishlist for me for likes on social media... He wouldn...
