    Summary

    To hold onto her power, Jude commands Cardan to marry her. It seems simple enough at the time, but nothing simple lasts long in Elfhame.

    Summary

    All Jude has ever wanted is to control her own life. Controlling Cardan is so much harder, for so many reasons.

    And even when she can tell him exactly what to do, something as simple as the wrong glass of wine can make it all spiral; can make controlling anything at all impossible.

    Summary

    Cardan hasn’t seen all sides of Jude Duarte. The thing that differs from his and most everyone’s understanding of her, is that he knows it. Knows she’s more than just a human girl who got lucky, knows that the danger of her isn’t that she wants the king’s favour, but that she doesn’t care for it.

    And yet, it’s somehow still a surprise when he felts the point of her dagger at his throat again. If nothing else, he hadn’t thought she could move so quietly. They pause there for a moment, the king on his balcony, the Queen in the shadows behind him. A decanter of wine rests on an elegantly wrought table where he had been about to indulge.

    A shame he hadn’t started sooner.

    Summary

    "I part my legs wider, watch the way his moonshine gaze spills over the whole of me, as if enchanted by some nacreous magic I’m sure I do not possess. When Cardan meets my eyes again, his expression has a sharpness to it, like the blistering slip of a rope through uncallused hands."

    Summary

    This is a collection of scenes from the trilogy - some that happened off page, some that I wish had happened. And Cardan's POV of the entire third book. This is super self indulgent.

    Excerpt:
    A faint brush against my palm. The gentleness of that touch frightens me, and I dare to break eye contact, glancing briefly at our joined hands. He’s drawing a very soft circle on my palm. The edges of the coin, he’s tracing them.
    Terror sings up my spine. Cardan was looking for a weakness, and he just found it. My mutilated hand is viciously painful, more than I can bear, and he’s going to know. He’ll use it against me.
    I lock eyes with him again. Wickedness is written into every line of his face.
    “Cardan,” I try, “No—”
