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, by award-winning author Holly Black. Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue. Before he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone. 1 New York Times bestselling author, Holly Black, reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame 39’s enigmatic high king, Cardan. 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-colour art, making this the perfect collector’s item to be enjoyed by both new and old audiences.

Cardan's Stories - The Folk of the Air, #3.5

How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is a companion short story to the Folk of the Air series. I definitely recommend reading the book so you can see the beautiful illustrations. The book is comprised of several short stories from Cardan's point of view. They go back in time from when he was young to today. Seeing some insight into Cardan was nice, as you don't get much of his side in the series. Each story is really short but shares a piece of his history. I would have liked for the stories to have more depth, but overall, the book was good and a nice way to finish the series. A little palette cleanser, if you will.
