I wrote a review of Holly Black’s spellbinding novel, ‘The Cruel Prince’. Read it here.
Throughout all my time as a reader, I have found just a few writers that seem to have almost a mystical prowess; that grab their readers attention immediately, and hold them in a trance from the beginning to the end of their novels. Among these spell-casters, Holly Black stands out as one of the best. I’ve raved over every Holly Black book I’ve ever picked up. I read ‘The Spiderwick Chronicles’…
Hiss hiss bitch
The entire Jurdan ship is just what if “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss/mansplain, man whore, manipulate” was the basic concept for a relationship dynamic and y'know what I can’t even be mad about it
I just read the excerpt of The Wicked King and I am hyperventilating omg
Gahh Holly don’t do this to me I can’t wait for this long
Also the cover looks finneee; I love it

Jude and Cardan went swimming in the Mortal World. Look how happy they are.
I don’t know who the artist is.
Cardan: I have a problem.
Jude: Kill it.
Cardan: Can you chill for like, two seconds?
No. No she can’t.
there are some verses that represent them
Jude:I am the master mind, he’s my accomplice.
Cardan:You’re only still alive because I made a promise.
You don’t understand.
I am obsessed with them.
And that’s how you summon Jurdan shippers.
Can we all agree?
a year after previous jurdan fanart (see it there!) i did another one 3:) and it took me forever for sure much longer than it should have
Folk(lore) of the Air - Cruel Prince/Exile combo because it fits so perfectly!!
I’ve never felt closer to Cardan than I have writing my crushes name over and over in my manifestation journal
