Holly Black is a master at her craft, dropping us into the land of Faerie in a way that captures the attention as effortlessly as one of the Folk of the Air enchants humans in her story. Jude is our guide through the strange, beautiful, and terrifying world of Elfhame where she was raised by Madoc, her half-sister’s father, after he murdered their mother and Jude’s human father. All she’s ever wanted was to belong, wishing to become a knight. But it’s not easy being a human in Elfhame, even when you’ve been raised by a fierce and widely respected Faerie. At least not for Jude. Especially when you’ve somehow drawn the hatred and cruelty of one of the princes of Elfhame, with a twin sister who fits far more neatly into that world, and another sister who longs only for the human world. When an unexpected opportunity opens itself up to Jude that gives her a chance to finally find her own place in Elfhame, she has to make a choice that will forever change her life. But with that choice comes dangers she never expected as she’s forced to confront a truth she’s always known, that things aren’t always what they seem in the lands of Faerie, ultimately leaving her  unsure who she can truly trust. With unexpected twists and characters you’ll love and hate, sometimes at the same time, this is one Faerie tale you don’t want to miss. And once you’ve had a taste, you won’t want to stop until you’ve finished the entire series as quickly as you can.
