À propos de cet audio

The start of a thrilling new fantasy series from best-selling author Holly Black about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a dangerous web of royal faerie intrigue.

Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.

One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal. As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong. But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan.

Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brim-full of magic and romance.

It took awhile to get into, but once the story started flowing it was hard to stop listening. A little predictable at times, but overall I enjoyed it and am now listening to sequel.

Slow start, but overall great.

I really enjoyed this book I was worried at first because it was a little slow and more juvenile then I had expected it to be.

I’m disappointed in her twin sisters story I really wanted the sisters to always have each other’s backs especially after what happened to their parents.

The boys in this book are just that boys not men, a bunch of spoiled brats it’s annoying.

I like Jude her character development is pretty good and so is the world building.

I’m interested in seeing what happens next I’m going to start the next book right now

Really good just a little slow in the beginning

Jude is a great FMC. My least favourite type of the FMC is a girl who has the most unique and powerful magic, yet cries that she just want to be normal and go home. Jude is the opposite of it. She doesn't have magic or superpowers, yet she has ambitions, she wants power and prestige. She knows what she wants, she doesn't try to run away to the mortal realm, she's not hiding from herself. And the narrative doesn't chastise her for wanting something better in life.

One of the best FMC iv come across

Overall I think this is a really great audiobook: Holly Black did such an amazing job building the Faery world, that it was easy to get immersed. The plot was interesting, exciting, and full of twists. The narration was excellent. But the romance elements were problematic for me. I don't want to veer into spoiler territory, so I'll just say that the whole "boy is mean/abusive to girl, but only because he really likes her," is an outdated cliché, and that the young adult readers that this book is marketed towards deserve better.
