Thank you Ailin for sharing this read with me ♥ we should do this more often, as we used to.
Before starting this series, I didn't had much information regarding the books. I knew it was about faeries, that Cardan and Jude hated each other, that Jude had horns (?) and I remember telling my friends that Cardan was quite a ridiculous name and it sounded like a bad villain in a Disney movie. And for the longest time I refused to read this purely on the account of me being really done with faes, looking at you Sarah J. Maas, so I avoided as much as I could while still seeing Cardan and Jude around. But deep down I knew that one day I'd read it. I'm so glad the day has come and that this trilogy proved itself.
The conclusion is not perfect, far from it if I'm being honest, but it gave me enough that I like it regardless of what it lacked. Jude is a great protagonist and I already miss her. And Cardan since the first book has charmed his way into my heart, where he occupies a special place along with his queen.
