About this listen

Goodreads Best Fantasy YA 2020.

The intoxicating and bloodthirsty finale to the New York Times best-selling The Cruel Prince, nominated for the Cilip Carnegie Medal 2019, and New York Times best seller The Wicked King.

After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watching reality television, and doing odd jobs, including squaring up to a cannibalistic faerie.

When her twin sister, Taryn, shows up asking a favour, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, whom she loves despite his betrayal. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and break the curse or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.

Enjoyable listen

Great series and this novel didn't disappoint. The main character is a bit too reflective and it becomes repeataive and the story is a bit "I said" "she said" in a very mechanical automatic narrative but it was good overall

Very enjoyable fantasy fairie book.

Great detail, characters stayed true to themselves. Very entertaining and I really enjoyed listening. Took me a while to listen to the narrator as I had read the first two books as hardcopy and had the names and voices in my imagination already.

best book of the series

I was unimpressed by the 2nd book, to the point that i didn't think i should bother listening to this one, but glad I did as I found this story so much more engaging and satisfying. great narrator, great happily ever after.

Twists and turns

Holly Black is the master of twists! Full of delightful and awful unexpected events which makes this a rollercoaster of a series. Highly recommended and pretty clean compared to others.

Amazing

We need the whole series told from Carden’s point of view. And we need more books for this series from both Cardens and Jude’s.

Very engaging fantasy trilogy

I thought these three books were exciting and well written and I went through them fast. I found the narrator a little off putting sometimes because she would often use a cartoonish baby voice, particularly when the sisters were talking to each other. But most of the time she was ok.

Great story

Best fae series out so far. It was dark and gritty and the main character was not weak and had real substance. The romance was not soppy but real well written.

Great right till the end!

I’ve loved Judes development and how bloody strong she is. If you’re looking for a powerful female lead this is it!

Brilliant Conclusion to an Awesome Series

Been waiting for this since the I picked up Tithe in a corner bookshop 15 years ago. Buy it, listen to it and maybe cry a little. It's AWESOME and you won't regret it. Thank you Holly Black for bringing me back to a world I love so much 😘
