![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To make ends meet and not rely on the magic of her step sister Vivi, Jude has become a sort-of mercenary. We start the story back in the human world – months after Jude’s banishment. Even I had indecisiveness, did I want them to end up together? Did I want their power struggle to continue? DECISIONS, DECISIONS. It is no secret that I love the enemies to lovers trope and who fits this better than Cardan and Jude? The rawness of their hate and love left me questioning HOW Holly could possibly wrap this up in a satisfactory way. ![]() While the adultness that struck me at twelve, did not still ring true (my idea of adult has, thankfully, evolved) – I was nonetheless extremely invested in the story and characters. For me, The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King did not disappoint. So, to say I was a little excited when Holly announced she was releasing another series set in the same world, I freaked out. Where books like the Harry Potter series portrays magic in a very black vs white and good vs evil way – Holly’s portrayal was all gray. The magic and the magical beings felt so ADULT to me. I was twelve when Tithe published and I remember discovering it at the bookstore and immediately falling in love. When I look back to my childhood and the books that made an impact on me, Holly’s A Modern Faerie Tale trilogy is one of the first series that comes to mind. I have mixed feelings about closing the door on The Queen of Nothing. ![]()
