How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
Return to the captivating world of Elfhame with this illustrated addition to the New York Times bestselling Folk of Air trilogy that began with The Cruel Prince, from award-winning author Holly Black.

This tale includes delicious details of life before The Cruel Prince, an adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing, and familiar moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy, told wholly from Cardan's perspective.
This new installment in the Folk of the Air series is a return to the heart-racing romance, danger, humor, and drama that enchanted readers everywhere. Each chapter is paired with lavish and luminous full-color art, making this the perfect collector's item to be enjoyed by both new audiences and old.

First book of 2025!! It was good to have a book about Cardan from his point of view. Loved the illustrations! Cute story but felt I felt like I was hoping for more. Loved the Folk Of Air! Sad to see it finally over

I enjoyed what unfolded, but it wasn’t worth the cost of the book. Would have been better if it followed more of how his thoughts turned toward Jude rather than just the little bit it had and more of what comes after the last book.

It was nice to see Prince Cardan’s perspective and learn more about him. I enjoyed the way the story was told spanning across childhood to adulthood. I still can’t get enough of the main characters! I am hoping their is more to come!
