She was banished from Elfhame, her king/husband/lifelong enemy Cardan was firmly on the throne and no longer beholden to her, and her twin sister had just married a truly loathsome faerie lord and stabbed her in the back. ![]() When last we left our protagonist Jude, everything had gone to hell in a hand basket (as things often do when dealing with the Faerie Court). Everything a reader could want is found in these pages, and also, just as importantly, the books are the best sort of literary fun.

Holly Black brings her Folk of Air trilogy to a glorious conclusion with the intense, dramatic, and thoroughly satisfying The Queen of Nothing. The Queen of Nothing, Holly Black ( Little, Brown 978-2-0, $19.99, 300pp, hc). ![]()
