When you’re chatting with the Cardan to your Jude and she starts spamming you in revenge ⤵


(GR ruined it, click on image for high quality)

(ಠಿ_ಠ)

I believe I just had a front row seat to what this book is gonna be like so I don’t think I even need to read it anymore. I don’t want to be spammed you know. What do you say I block her and also build a pillow wall between us at night. Or maybe clip that tail...hmmm...





# WE STAN THE TAIL anyone??


Dear Holly Black,

I need the heavens to open and this book to fall into my lap.
Wouldn't mind if Cardan fell into my lap either.
You know, as a side dish.


Your eternal servant,
RL Jude

Haha HOW COULD YOU HAVE NOT WANTED THIS UEHEJEJBSN I've been begging for scenes from Cardan's POV (specially in TWK) so it's like this book with its additional look back into the main trilogy is EVERYTHING I've wanted ahhh

Don't get me wrong... I always wanted Cardan's POV. But ever since I read the Queen of Nothing the series was sort of closed for me. Closed chapter, it got its own closure. I sort of maybe expected a spin-off on Oak but nothing new on Cardan and/or Jude.
I don't know... I just don'T know how to proceed this. 😂 I'm still in shock and have no idea what to do with this book.


sarah I CAN'T WAIT!

Hmmm I get it. For me personally Queen of Nothing was too short. I still loved it, but I wanted MORE. It wasn't enough to make me ready to close that chapter. So I'm hoping this will do the trick.
