You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring. For YA this is truly one of a kind and it deserves all the hype it gets.How The King Of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories (The Folk Of The Air #3.5)īlurb : However, as I’ve read it the second time, somehow everything made much more sense and although I still wanted more of it, I really enjoyed the ending and so I rated it 5 stars. The first time I read Queen of Nothing I didn’t enjoy it that much because it was lacking something and I decided to rate it 4 stars.

Wicked King is by far best book in the series and Queen of Nothing the least good one. That dose of surprise and plot twist with the combination of romance makes this series as exciting as it is. It never ceased to surprise me and I loved that about it. This series was filled with so many plot twists that, upon reading it, I didn’t know who to trust anymore. Even though some are better and some worse, all of them are very wicked so you never know who to believe. I was truly fascinated by the Faerie Folk and how well Holly Black created them. He is cruel and I enjoy how well his character was written because I, just like Jude, have gone from true hate to true love to him. Cardan, on the other hand, who is our usual bully at first but as the story progresses you see how complex his story is. I love how fearless she was and the fact that even though she could always return to mortal world and live a good life, she wishes to be something way higher than that. I love how Holly Black created her as a pretty simple girl who is lead by her emotions and deeper motives. She’s truly one of those characters you wish to be more like. I love Jude because of how badass she is. My favorite characters are of course Jude and Cardan. Thanks to my daddy issues, this is the only kind of romance I can enjoy and among all the enemies-to-lovers I’ve read (and believe me I read a lot) this is definitely the best one! However, if you don’t enjoy a very intense almost sado-masochistic relationship full of hatred, this might not be the one of you. And that’s how you write a good enemies-to-lovers. This is such a slow burn romance that it took almost the whole first book for the actual romance to start. By enemies-to-lovers I don’t mean going from ‘Ugh I hate him so much’ to ‘Oh my gosh I love him and want is babies’ in 50 pages. My favorite aspect of this book is the very intense enemies-to-lovers trope. Now let me tell you all the reasons why I like it so much. Me re-reading this just confirmed my suspicions that this is one of my favorite series ever! And in my opinion, it’s popular for a reason. This series is one of the most popular YA Fantasies and if you’re a member of Bookblog/Booktube/Bookstagram community, you’ve probably read this.
