After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watches her fair share of reality television, and does the odd job or two, including trying to convince a cannibalistic faerie from hunting her own in the mortal world. When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking of a favor, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal. When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and uncover how to break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.
The Queen of Nothing, Holly Black
Slightly worse than the previous two. I have still some questions and plot holes and the ending was a little lacking. I wish I felt more "closure" with some of the characters, instead of just feeling like they got mentioned for half a page and then that's it. What happened to Nicasia? And how did her story end? I would have loved to see that. It's a shame, really, because I was so excited to read this. It's still good, just a little bit less good.
