i love how Oak has a little of all his family members in him.
Etiquette and pragmatism from Oriana
Murder mode similar to Madoc's bloodthirst
Definitely Jude's anger
Vain, Charming, Flirtatious like Cardan
Playful like Vivi, Coy like Taryn
With a pinch of lovetalk from Liriope
And ofc, the Greenbriar bloodline from Dain

Cardan writes her name perfectly sm damn times on a piece of paper like he's manifesting:
Jude seeing it: " wow I knew he hated me but now he probably hates me so much more! "

Holly Black - How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
Illustrated novella in the Folk of the Air series
A series of vignettes telling pieces of Cardan's story. Short and sweet (or as sweet as it can be given Black's bloodthirsty fairies) with charming illustrations by Rovina Cai.
Read the main The Folk of the Air trilogy first as it both contains spoilers for and relies on them for the emotional impact.

Suren's comfort toy being a fox plushie and her comparing Oak to a fox is something that can be so personal 🥺

Jude looked up at him, and in her eyes, he recognized a hate big enough and wide enough and deep enough to match his own. A hate you could drown in like a vat of wine.

I would just like to point out that in the first chapter baby Cardan says he pretends to be hiding so that he can pretend someone is looking for him and will come get him and in the last chapter Cardan doesn’t have to fear for his life because he KNOWS Jude will come after him and she does and she finds him and I just-

Take a second and think about how when Jude was trapped in the Undersea and Cardan was, you know, gazing out to sea and longing for her, he knew what it was like in the Undersea, remembered how much he hated it there, and was probably thinking about how she was trapped in this place that he hated and he had no way to reach her.
