I’ve never seen such perfection.
queen_joey. Visit her Instagram page for closeups.
This one’s my favourite. For obvious reasons 😌
P.S. Just noticed the tiny translucent fairies 🥰

All the court of shadows wanted to do was play a game of cards. That’s all we wanted. But nooooooo-

My favourite thing about Cardan going to Vivi's house in the mortal world to find Jude when Madoc takes her OR about his sent letters is that the man knew where to find her all those months of exile. I know this is a given but I keep forgetting because if he knew why didn't he just go get her instead of sending her letters. He was respecting her space, he truly thought she wanted nothing to do with him. It absolutely kills me how hurt he was and still managed to respect what he thought were her wishes. I love him.

I'm currently rereading the cruel prince and I'm catching a lot of interesting stuff I didn't get/stuff I forgot!
CARDAN THOUGHT OF THE COURT OF SHADOWS AS HIS FRIENDS DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE JUST MET THEM 😭😭😭 oh baby...
ALSO, you can't tell me the Roach isn't already sensing the tension between the two of them!!! Like c'mon "oh you're taking him in the back, huh? For what Jude? What are you going to do to him, or with him? 🤔"
"What's that little prince? Nervous at the idea of being alone with Jude? Mh-hm. I see, interesting 🧐"
I SWEAR his comments are full of implications.
The Bomb telling Jude about how Cardan in a way "stood up for her" behind her back. Convincing them that Jude won't betray them and that she must have a plan. Jude realizing that he's been paying close attention to her and how he's actually pretty smart for figuring a lot of this stuff out.
I feel like when I first read the cruel prince I didn't really think much of those moments but now, going through the story again after having finished it, I'm noticing a lot of cute and interesting moments I wouldn't have thought of as important.
And I'm pretty sure I have more coming!

ok but do you know what the best part about The Folk Of The Air is? Jude stayed human. This IS the main concept of the series and i don't see many people appreciate it enough. SO MANY books have the usual- 'main character waking up one day and finding out they have had powers all along' - i find that so over used and annoying, but that wasn't the case with jude and it has got to be the number one reason why i love her & this series. Jude conquered an entire kingdom, became The High Queen Of Elfhame & made her place in Faerie, all while she was still a human and had no magical powers. My girl worked very hard to achieve the skills she has. She wasn't born with it. I AM SO PROUD OF HER, she inspires me sm and at so many different levels. we're humans too, & i find comfort in the thought that this is what we'll always have in common with her.
I cannot thank Holly Black enough for this.
