Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue.
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences.
In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

5By folkoftheairfanI hadn’t read books this whimsical since I was a kid, but now I have been transported back to faerie realms and otherworldly realities. This book helped me get back into reading in general since I couldn’t put it down for a second! Every single page was packed with interesting information. Jude’s character is very intriguing and different from the everyday usual protagonist, which made me more glued to this book. All the plot twists really had me reading this everywhere at any time. I’d recommend this series to everyone—-regardless of whether they’re a reader or not.Meh
3By WoosahPandaI read this entire series within a few days, after just reading the ACOTAR series and the From Blood and Ash series. This series is a MUCH milder version of both, hence the young adult genre. Regardless, I just felt like I was always left wanting more.. and not in a suspenseful way. My 14 year old self may have appreciated this book more.. maybe.. lol. Just not sure why this book is recommended for fantasy adult romance.Best Book Ever!
5By xoxoclarinetThis is the best book i've ever read. I love reading fantasy and dystopian novels and so far this one is the best.Wow
5By blubisglubI may not be much of a reader, but I found this to be a good read. I truly enjoy it not being a super long book, but also having fantasy and angst and romance and betrayal. It keeps me reading, and I enjoy every bit of it.AMAZING FIRST BOOK
5By Schools over ratedThe storyline and plot twists is amazing! The book has been getting hype for a while now and I didn’t know if i should buy the book because of the mixed reviews, but then I realized every book is like that so I decided to pick up the book. I was not disappointed! I like that there’s modern in the story. Overall I Highly recommend the book!My favorite book series ever!!
