3.5
Derived From Web , Aug 22, 2021
I hate having to do this, but I must be honest. You do get a look at Cardens up brining a little. I enjoyed how they show us a little into the Carden and Nicasia relationship, how it ended and how it came about. It touches his life after the Queen of Nothing and a little on him and Jude during the first book. Like very little. Which is why I have to drop the rating. They do have beautiful artwork, I haven t, but it seems that the book is half art and half story. Also, the words on many of the pages are larger in font to make more space. The writing also does not cover the whole page. If I'm honest, I feel a little robbed, I paid a little over $15. I expected this story to go more into his childhood and more into his feelings towards Jude. Overall, I'm still glad to read it, because I love this book series and I was able to learn about life before the Cruel Prince and why I dislike Jude. I recommend this book to die hard fans.

Pairs with Elfhame Tales as Extension of the Experience
Derived From Web , Feb 20, 2021
This is a series of delightful stories accompanies the stories of Elfhame with some short background stories about our favorite characters. The illustrations are short and well conceived. I was happy to discover this book because I was simply not ready to deal with Elfhame. To be honest, I took a deep dive into Holly Black's writing this past year. She spins well told stories and shows insights into the depths of the human soul in her character development. I have eaten almost every book in her catalog, and I am not really a reader. I am not sure that I would recommend starting with this book, but it does pair well with Elfhame's stories. I started with the Magesterium series and was immediately hooked ''.

Not long enough for the price
Derived From Web , Jan 13, 2021
This was a full story that was priced as a short length book. There are a lot of pictures and it did not really end there.

Beautifully Illustrated
Derived From Web , Jan 6, 2021
I loved Cardan from the Cruel Prince to the Queen of Nothing. The beautiful prince, raised in cruelty, who fell in love with a power-hungry mortal and made her his High Queen. The fact that this book was written in his view was my primary motivation for reading it. The stories were different moral lessons about how they evolved at each stage of his life to have wise lessons. And how it became his story at the very end. I loved how it explained the betrayal that the original trilogy only hinted. But I didn 't expect the enigmatic and wild prince to have such a tame voice ; it was so innocent. I expected the wicked, a bit more passion and a deep-rooted obsession for his mortal queen. The illustrations were so beautiful, even the typography was exquisitely designed. Loved this book and will probably browse through it again if only to enjoy the pictures.

Cardan loved hearing from Lover again! One of my favorite characters and I would love to see more stories about him and Jude again.

Gorgeously illustrated glimpses into Cardan’s head.
Derived From Web , Dec 9, 2020
While I was hoping for a whole lot more of the wonderful declarations of love for Elfhame, this was such a secret jump into the world of Jude and the folk of the air. This was a peek into his brain and while it was wonderful while it lasted, it wasn't nearly enough. This made me love Cardan even more. And we get these beautiful illustrations together with his stories and memories on just about every single page. This more than I ever thought I would get and not enough at the same time. Reading it in a sitting took little longer than an hour. It is absolutely one that I could read again and again.

Worth it!
Derived From Web , Dec 1, 2020
I need more Cardan and Jude, I need another Elfhame adventure with our adorable crazy couple, their miscreant Court of Shadows, their cute and annoying family and a full save the world story. It was so nice to catch glimpses of the events that have shaped him. I so desperately wish that Holly Black would rewrite all 3 books from Cardan's perspective, as so much happened that Jude wasn 't exposed. If you're a fan, you will love this short but sweet look at Jude's Cardan pre and post.
