The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1)
by
august 2022
i hate this book and the power it has over me. 5 stars could never be enough for the magnificence that is this series.
in case you're wondering, kiss with a fist by florence+the machine is the song i picked for jude/cardan in this book.

...and then I said, "fuck my tbr"
post-reread thoughts: spectacular as ever. actually bumping this up to 5 stars because I'm even more obsessed with it this time around.

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.
“No” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”
"I can't.”

“So I am to sit here and feed you information,” Cardan says, leaning against a hickory tree. “And you’re to go charm royalty? That seems entirely backward.”
I fix him with a look. “I can be charming. I charmed you, didn’t I?”
He rolls his eyes. “Do not expect others to share my depraved tastes.”

He's wrong about me. I am going to make my mayfly life count for something.
I won't be afraid of him or of Prince Dain's censure. If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.

The only book by Holly Black I gave four stars to, I was starting to think this author really wasn't for me. I hope you'll like it! :)

Loved these quotes - some of my my favourites too!
The fact he can't lie too makes this whole thing even better!
great review! can i ask how you get the font to look like that, and get the quotes to be next to that spacing grey-bar thing?
