About this listen
The start of a thrilling new fantasy series from best-selling author Holly Black about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a dangerous web of royal faerie intrigue.
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal. As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong. But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan.
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brim-full of magic and romance.

Amazing
Oh my god I absolutely loved this book! I loved it so much I immediately went and listened to the second one in the series! I couldn’t put this down and listened to it within 2 days!! Now I will admit it does have slightly slow start to it not gonna lie but once the actual story line starting coming through I could not put this down. The world she creates is absolutely phenomenal it’s almost like watching the story like a movie. The way she describes the detail even the little detail is fantastic. The narrator did a wonderful job on the characters and you could really feel there personality coming out while she’s reading it. It has easily become one of my favourites.

Good read so far
I liked the sound of this book so decided to give it a go and I’m really glad I did. So far there isn’t any major romantic aspect but I have a feeling that could change in book 2. It has kept me guessing what will happen next and I really didn’t think that Jude would take the path she did in the end. I have a feeling book 2 is going to be an even better read, I really hope I’m not disappointed.

How voice acting can make or break a book
A typical YA novel that hits it story beats well with twists that keep you hooked through out.
Sadly the narrator some times makes it hard to tell which characters are speaking (as some of the male voices sound similar) and when it is Jude thinking, or Jude speaking.
It is an enjoyable listen and I will be looking over for the second in the series.
