For anyone looking for immersive world-building, cleverness unmatched, and complicated but entirely unforgettable characters, for all the dreamers out there still waiting to turn that corner: this is the book for you.
Holly Black has done something truly special with her Folk of the Air series, and The Queen of Nothing concludes the trilogy perfectly. Holly Black is the 1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of speculative and fantasy novels, short stories, and comics. But the tense political environment of the Faerie realm has only worsened in Jude’s absence, and she finds herself in a precarious position among the Folk as war approaches and an ancient curse is unleashed. It is a Young Adult Fantasy Novel which takes place in the world of Faerie during the modern age and focuses on Jude Duarte a young woman who after witnessing the murder of her human parents, was kidnapped alongside her sisters and brought to the Kingdom of Elfhame to play the role of the foster daughter to the man who committed the crime himself. With The Queen of Nothing, the finale to the Folk of the Air trilogy, Holly Black has built a fantasy world so entangled with reality, blurred the line between human and creature so convincingly, I felt myself settling right back into that unwavering adolescent belief that there’s something more out there.Īfter being banished to the mortal world, Jude Duarte risks returning to Elfhame to help her twin, Taryn, and (who’s she kidding?) see Cardan again. Like most kids who grew up with Harry Potter and the Pevensies, I longed for evidence of the fantastical, hoping that somewhere just around the corner was the magic I found in books.
