Is noone gonna talk about the fact that in tcp, in that scene where Jude gets poisoned by the faerie fruit, they see 7 shooting stars and Jude describes that at as dozen deaths. I haven't heard anyone mention that that could have been foreshadowing what was to come later during the coronation as 6 Fae died then (Elowyn, Eldred, Dain, Rhyia, Caelia and Taniot) and also Valerian earlier on which makes 7 deaths like prophecied.
I thought it was really clever, nothing a reader would have really paid attention too.

Absolutely priceless to me that Jude only realised she's in Cardan's room in Hallow Hall because she saw his closet.
Like the school books did not raise any flags at all. Why wouldn't faeries that went to that place for nothing more than partying and getting high, have their homework spread out on the table?
But the second she laid eyes in that wardrobe she really went "No bitch dresses THAT extra even in Elfhame besides THAT ONE!"
Keep staying iconic Cardan✨️

I can’t stop thinking about how when Cardan wanted to talk to Jude about the first time they got intimate and she quickly replies she just wanted to get it out of her system, Cardan asks her “Did you? Get it out of your system?”
But what he meant was “Did you get ME out of your system, because I can’t get you out of mine nor do I want to. I only fell in deeper.”
Her reply about wanting to just get it out of her system hurt him.
When he had said “This is a terrible idea.” as he was kissing her and taking of his shirt, he didnt mean terrible as in things are gonna get weird and akward between them. He meant this was going to rattle him to the bones. This was going to make him fall in deeper for her. This was a terrible idea for him because he knew she didnt reciprocate his feelings and HE was vulnerable and going to end up hurt. It was a terrible idea for HIM.

One thing I love about The Cruel Prince: Jude put her foot down and said ‘I belong here’.
And eventually Elfhame responded and flowers grew where she bled.
Never let anyone tell you, you don’t belong.

holly black writing judecardan dynamic as not an old ass fae and a helpless mortal girl but a young hot prince with a tendency to be drunk and get in trouble and a girl who has a knick for power and putting her dagger to the throat of said prince is my favourite thing
