The Queen Of Nothing (The Folk Of The Air #3)

Eu amei tanto esse livro, meu deus! Não tem nem como descrever direito! Sei bem de alguns pequenos defeitos que ele tem, mas li de uma só vez, numa euforia sem ar e sem cabimento que, afinal, é tudo que importa! Sentia muita falta de ler um livro assim e foi uma escolha perfeita para o final do ano! Não existe sensação melhor do que a que eu senti durante a segunda metade inteira do livro! Por isso, ele entrou para os meus favoritos e é claro que eu dei cinco estrelas.Tem outra razão para eu não ter diminuído a nota, afinal. Não considero seus defeitos fatais, nem os considero sérios o suficiente para tirar a qualidade do livro. Um deles, aliás, é um defeito da trilogia toda: as coisas acontecem um pouco rápido demais. Isso é uma coisa boa na maior parte do tempo, já que tudo muda bastante e não tem nem uma página de história parada. Ao mesmo tempo, talvez seria bacana se a autora tivesse descoberto um jeito de não deixar tão rápido assim. Não precisava demorar realmente em nada, mas pelo menos diminuir um pouco essa velocidade.Minha segunda crítica é para como o verdadeiro clímax do livro foi 'solucionado'. Tem muita reviravolta, mas, quando ele aparece, não há dúvidas de que é o clímax. Eu amei muito o jeito que a autora o encarou, amei a atitude da Jude, achei tudo super lógico e incrível. Mas a solução foi rápida demais, fácil demais. Sei que nem tinha como a história se demorar logo depois do maior problema ser resolvido, isso não faria sentido, mas senti falta de umas páginas a mais com uma conversa ou uma cena mais intensa entre a Jude e o Cardan para fazer valer o final.Mas o fato é que eu amei todo o resto de um tanto, que isso mal importa! Quero reler agora desde o começo, do primeiro livro. Vi várias pessoas reclamando da história desse, mas acho que é só mais uma vez o fenômeno do fim atacando. Ou seja, sempre que é o último, é o final, a grande maioria das pessoas detestam, independente do que seja (série, filme, livro) e da qualidade real. Eu, em compensação, costumo gostar mais dos últimos, dos finais. Pode ser só problema em aceitar que coisas acabam e nem sempre é exatamente como você imaginou. Não tenho esse problema!O fato é que este livro me fez sentir coisas incríveis e eu vou amá-lo para sempre por isso.

I both loved and hated the end of this trilogy. The story was certainly the most gripping of the three and I finished the book in a matter of hours. I loved the pace and the way the story played out and Jude’s relentless energy.But there wasn’t enough Cardan for me. And I found the moments they were together a little less satisfying than I had hoped for. For some reason Cardan had changed immeasurably since Jude’s time in the mortal world. I found it strange how he was willing to be so honest and open with her virtually immediately after they had spent the first two books lying and twisting their words.Saying that I really enjoyed the ending and certainly didn’t see it coming. And it was a very satisfying conclusion to the end of the series.

First I’m going to give you my emotions – woop, oh, what, how, squeee, ugh, oh man, sigh, heart eyes, snake eyes, squirm. So yes, this is going to be a bit of a cluster of a review but it’s going to be spoiler-free and consequently, maybe vague.THE QUEEN OF NOTHING started off really well for me, I felt back with the crew I loved rather quickly and into the current events. The pace of this final instalment moved fast and I liked it. Jude in the human world, life continuing in the faerie world but predictably, those worlds crossed. From there, I had some pacing issues, I would love a number of chapters, then feel a bit bored for a few.I loved elements of this book but then I struggled with some plot developments. The bridle was a great plot device that…came to little. The snake was a great plot device that…I don’t know what that was. I loved the crown, I loved the throne and I loved Jude’s connection to the earth. So many exciting things but when that excitement didn’t come to fruition, I felt a bit disappointed.Jude and Carden had a different dynamic in this book and I am going to leave it there even though I want to say so much more. There was a hole missing and I am grateful I got to see the letters from the Barnes & Noble edition because that filled the hole up. That leaves me thinking why wasn’t that part of the main body of the story; I just don’t get it.I hope all that doesn’t sound too negative because overall this was read brought enjoyment and excitement with the frustration. I am happy with where the story ended up despite the fast wrap-up. I will look back at this series as a great one and a memorable one. I just wanted a bit more from this book."How do people like us take off our armor?One piece at a time."

This book was nothing short of perfection!I loved every single moment. It was everything I hoped for and more. I adore Jude, she has the perfect amount of strength, weakness, vulnerability, intelligence and bravery and loyalty. She is everything I would love to be and Cardan? what a wickedly wonderful little faery that I hate and love equally.Every page was a delight and this is a series that will sit right next to all my Sarah J maas and Cassandra Clare books as ones that I will repeatedly read!Great job! amazing writer and can't wait to see what other little treatures Holly Black writes in the futureAlso that one scene? God, how I wish the book had a slightly older audience! it could have been much hotter, though it was very sweet and wonderful.

[VAGUE SPOILERS]Took me ages to get round to actually reading this and though I loved the development and the ending I felt it was too rushed.After the final events of TWK we return to jude in the human realm and how she is coping being away from faerie and all she has ever known. But not before the prologue tells us that Cardans reign has been prophesied as disastrous. Of course she finds a way back into faerie, this much is a given. And for the first say half the book I actually was really invested and curious as to what would happen next.But I was underwhelmed by probably about the last quarter of the book, there is a turning point where it becomes predictable and you know exactly what is going to happen. I found myself, whilst still invested in the characters, kinda just wishing it got to the point.Overall I did really enjoy reading this book as the finale to the trilogy and I loved loved loved the final epilogue. However, I feel it was too rushed, especially the last quarter or so, I wish it was drawn out a little bit more to really tease more information from and investment into the characters. For example, whilst Taryn saw huge development and a sudden shift in character at the beginning of the book, I didnt really care what happened to her, equally the same with Vivi. They were both secondary background characters for too long for me to be invested in their arcs - I care about heather more than them two.And the last riddle, tricks, and twists were too obvious, I was infuriated with how long jude - a human who has lived her life have to solve riddles in a flash - took several chapters to solve the easiest in the series, and even then she didnt solve it per sê.Having said that I still enjoyed the book. Would i read the series again? Maybe. Would I reccomend the series? Yes, if you want an easy and quick escape from the real world.@Santas_Reading_Elf
