Idk if this has been done yet-
A list of all the books in the same world as The Folk of the Air
1. The Cruel Prince
1.5. The Lost Sister (Novella)
2. The Wicked King
1. The Queen of Nothing
3. How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories* (Collection of short stories)
1. The Stolen Heir
2. The Prisoner's Throne
• The Modern Faerie Tales
• Darkest Part of the Forest
* The short stories in this book are scattered all through Folk of the Air. I would usually figure out where each short story in the book happens but it actually makes more sense to read all at once after The Wicked king.
I hope this helps you. :)
Thanks for reading.
If I could still do hours in heels like I could pre-Lockdown, I would absolutely be buying these.
Jude would wear these, she’d run in these, she’d murder in these, and id eat it up
And we wait with baited breath for the stunning editions of the rest of the series, which MUST include these with some beautiful artwork. Please oh please.
That’s a waste of pap— that’s a waste of grief, begging, love and I quote, “indiscreet promises”
the “I expect you to come back now that everything is settled” letter
lol the “I want you to come back but I don’t want to say it so just come be angry at me closer” letter
The second half part though- 😭. the “just come home I don’t care what you do to me but just COME BAAAACK” letter
Cardan be like: tf does this queen think she is not responding to my letters, AKA the “YOU HAVE NEVER DONE MORE OF A SIN THAN THIS JUDE DUARTE” letter
Also cardan: yeah I’m doing something wrong, how about I address this to The High Queen of Elfhame, ha this will definitely work AKA the most heartfelt, poetic and longest letter
At this point cardan just gave up and started doing what he does best: writing Jude’s name in an angry, passionate and grieving fashion. This is called the, “ I give up you win” letter.
This is brilliant.
Can we also please stop with trashing on tropes? If you don't like it, don't read it. I've seen so many posts across various social media talking about all of the tropes people don't like, including even in regards to the language used (especially in Romance/Fantasy) and it's frustrating - if you don't like it, don't read it. But stop being an ass about it for the rest of us.
10/10 agree. I got recommended this book from a friend and I had to message her and be like, "Why do you hate me?! You only told me to read the first book, so that's all I've bought and now I've got to wait on the Shipping Gods to get it to me quickly!"
The Shepherd King duology showed me what reading top notch quality fantasy feels like. From the world building to the the absolute beauty of every single character. There was not a single flaw in it. It's a masterpiece that should be talked about so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
File this under “super obvious yet I always seem to forget it.”
I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
