Heh, nOt tHiS TiMe! it was the attention to detail that made it: I’d think one was okay, look more closely and find my favourite yet. Often I find books with illustrations childish… and the other times I think that they look good, the characters look nothing like in my head. Gold and royalty and cruelty, the rich fantasy of the Folk of the Air trilogy was captured so well. So long as you’re begging, he doesn’t mind a bit. Some might think of him as a strong draught, burning the back of one’s throat, but invigorating all the same. It meant an slightly different interpretation of the world that he calls home, compared to one Jude grew to hate.
Jude, the narrator of the other books, is brought into the world by her parents’ murderer aged seven (I know), yet Cardan has been raised there since birth as the son of the King. Plus, it describes Fairyland from the perspective of someone who couldn’t be more accustomed to its ways. The stories are taken from before, during and after the Folk Of The Air but they had similarities running through them that made it feel more like a novella than a collection of stories. I’d recommend that you check out my review of the first book, ‘The Cruel Prince’, here and read the book! or this might not make much sense! It’s one of my favourite fantasy series and I highly recommend them.Īnyway, this book gives the unheard narrative of Cardan’s side of the series. In case you’re confused, How The King Of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories is a (heavily) illustrated novella to accompany the Folk Of The Air series by Holly Black.
