The Cruel Prince (Book 1 -The Folk of the Air)
This book is a dark fairy tale with intricate characters and a world that comes alive with every word. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black is a book you won't want to miss, even if you, like most book lovers, are reluctant when you see a hyped book.
When a book introduces you to a rhyming fairytale poem by Robert Graves, you know the author loves the world into which you’re about to dive.
Holly Black is at the top of her game here. This is set in a realm of heightened sensations. You'll almost taste the faerie fruit, feel the decaying fabrics, and smell the old chambers.
It's populated by a cast of characters that will leave you with a lot of emotions. Jude, as the lead, is a survivor with the kind of cunning you'll adore.
As always, Black's language is precise and beautiful; you'll find yourself pausing to reread certain phrases.

"Lush, dangerous, a dark jewel of a book. Black's world is intoxicating, imbued with a relentless sense of peril that kept me riveted through every chapter of Jude's journey. And Jude! She is a heroine to love--brave but pragmatic, utterly human. This delicious story will seduce you and leave you desperate for just one more page."―Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom

"Black has a compelling series about fairies, politics and finding your place in the world, starting with this novel, which I read in a single day."―USA Today
