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⭐.
