![]() ![]() After everything Locke has done to Jude, killing him off-page was practically cruel. In particular, I thought that Locke’s death – happening between books as it did – was a detriment to the series. There are certain events and characters that didn’t get the development they should have, the attention they might have gotten in a longer book. All of the books are fast-paced and seem short because of it, but this one felt too short. ![]() It’s a bit disconcerting that the final book in the trilogy is the shortest of the three. ![]() It feels like a complete tonal shift from The Cruel Princeand The Wicked King. In fact, the end was almost downright adorable. So I was very much amazed when absolutely none of that happened. Surely someone was going to die or get their heart broken or lose a limb or something. ![]() Considering how almost every character was horrible in some way, I thought there was no way any of them could have a happy ending. To be perfectly honest, I was expecting The Queen of Nothing to have a bittersweet ending. At last I learned how things ended up for Jude, Cardan, and the rest of the faerie. I’ve arrived to the party fashionably late, but I finally finished The Queen of Nothing, the conclusion to Holly Black’s Folk of Air trilogy. ![]()
