4.5 stars - full review on my blog

I knew The Queen of Nothing was going to be my first book to read of the year because after finishing The Wicked King, I knew I needed to read the conclusion to this trilogy as soon as possible! The book did not disappoint and though I’m sad the trilogy is over, I’m definitely satisfied with the ending.

The book starts off a few months after where The Wicked King ended, with Jude, the High Queen of Elfhame, in exile in the mortal world, living with her sister Vivi and younger brother Oak. She tries to train Oak in sword technique, while also taking on side jobs with The Folk who happen to live in the mortal world. But when she’s visited by her twin sister, Taryn, she finds herself journeying back to Faerie posing as Taryn and hopefully finding a way to end her exile.

I don’t want to give away too much else, not that I gave away all that much. But I think the fact that I just couldn’t stop reading the book in my free time speaks for itself. Overall I was happy with the way Holly Black ended this series and it definitely didn’t end the way I thought it would… so that’s definitely a plus.

All in all, I’d say The Folk of the Air trilogy is a great YA fantasy series that you do not want to miss!
