    But I love the fact there's no romance. The romance would make it all about that rather than focusing on everything else! Hence why nobody gives this series a go. But is SO worth it. My favourite fantasy series.

    Queen of Nothing was my favorite as well! It gave a bit of everything while staying face paced. I think if I read this after ACOTAR, I would have also given it less stars because ACOTAR was hands down the best! The characters and world in ACOTAR was so much bigger than I imagined in Folk Air series. But since they lead me to the Night Court, Jude and Cardan will always have a special place in my 💜
    Also..I looked at all the fan art when reading and did diagrams sometimes 😂 that really helped me visualize what tf I was actually reading.

    SPOILER:
    What I really disliked about this series was the pacing. I don't remember who dies in the 3rd book but what I do remember is that Holly Black just glossed over the death so quickly. A lot of other stuff happened super quickly after the death, so there wasn't enough time to sit with that and really process the emotional impact. That kept me from connecting to the story more. I think I gave the first book 3⭐️ and the other 2 only 2⭐️. Just a little too fast paced for how short each book is for my liking.

No worldbuilding in that serie too, and the characters are really annoying and flat. Made me want to skip Holly Black in general. Seems I'm booked to review another book by this author, (The stolen heir in Dutch, will come around april/ june in The Netherlands) and to be honest, don't looking forward to it. So no Holly Black, if I had to choose, omgh.

Because I’ve been reading for years, and to me, reading is about forming your own opinion. So that’s fair enough, you think that. However, I was just saying that in my opinion, you’re missing out if you don’t give it another try. It is really good.
