The Folk of the Air #2
If you haven't read Cruel Prince you'll still be able to follow and enjoy this story. Holly Black does an outstanding job of giving you enough information to catch up. However, I previously rated Cruel Prince five smiles, so you may as well read that one too!
Jude has put Cardan on the throne of faerie and given herself the power to keep Oak safe. This would be a difficult life to lead even if Cardan would make things simple. But that's not really Cardan's style. Add to that the fact that someone close to Jude may have betrayed her, and things are messy at best. Jude will have to uncover the traitor if she has any hope of surviving as a human in the faerie world.
I finished this one in one day. It was fast-paced, interesting, and wonderful. The characters continue to deliver, walking the line between realism and imagination. I enjoyed this one and recommend it.
Five smiles.
Note to parents/teachers: Romance and fighting are your biggest watches on this one. No problems for high school kids (it's YA after all) but make your call on younger kiddos.
