An instant bestseller
By #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a 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.
Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences.
In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

An AMAZING book but be warned about the advanced dialect
S S. - 4 years 9 months agoThis book had me on the floor. The slow burn had me trembling in class. One of the first books that I would not put down. I loved how magical this book is and the characters!!?!! Don’t get me started on Cardan (AND JUDE). Characters? 12/10. Plot? 10/10. The only reason why I put 4 stars is because the vocabulary used is pretty advanced. I, personally, had to Google at least 3 words every 4 pages. Other than that, this book is simply magnificent if you can manage to comprehend the semi-confusing, advanced language. 11/10. Cardan and Jude are bae

would definitely read again!!
Jinelle S. - 5 years 5 months ago4/5★ JUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDEJUDE I read this series for the first time thanks to all of TikTok's hype and LET ME TELL YOU. This series will never have enough hype. First off, I would just like to say JUDECARDAN RIGHTS. OMG I love them both so much (although it took me a bit longer to like Cardan than I thought it would). Aside from that though, this book was so good. It's easily become a comfort read because of the amazing storyline/characters, and even though I was able to predict the ending, it was still a satisfying shock 🤩 and once again.... JUDECARDAN RIGHTS!! #SpringPicks

I loved Jude as the main character. I feel like she has such an interesting backstory and view on the world. I NEED to get the next books.
Sania M. - 5 years 5 months agoOne of my favorite books! Such a fun and encaptivating read. I ended up reading it in less than a day. If you're a fan of fantasy and faerie then it's the perfect book for you! #SpringPicks

This is a great book!
Kailyn P. - 5 years 5 months agoThis is one of my absolute favorite books! It’s a great fantasy book that has lots of action and is very well written. It hooks you from the start and is a enemies to lovers trope which I love. Definitely recommend! #SpringPicks

Loved it!!
Emily L. - 5 years 5 months agoI’m just gonna jump into it. SO I don’t know why but I always have an expectation with how a book will be written and lately I’ve been wrong. Lol the writing style made it feel like another contemporary, which I definitely don’t mind because it just makes the whole reading experience easier for me. The plot was actually GLORIOUS!!! The whole story itself was very intriguing, and a bit surprising with how it began. We also have such complex characters and schemes going on in the background that are always wonderful to see be uncovered. I really loved Jude as a main character. She was constantly trying her best and I feel she’s the most real character I’ve read about in a while. I didn’t really grasp the whole world & how it worked as a government if that makes sense. I have an idea of how everything fits but I’m not sure. In all, I loved it and I NEED the next one. I think it’s a pretty good introduction to fantasy as well.
