How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

De: Holly Black, Rovina Cai - illustrator

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

Return to the captivating world of Elfhame with this addition to the New York Times best-selling Folk of Air trilogy that began with The Cruel Prince, from 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. Number one New York Times best-selling author Holly Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame'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 listeners everywhere.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Offers new delights along with familiar moments retold...fans will rejoice in every dark, luscious moment."—Kirkus

Just ok

I love Holly Black, but I wouldn't pay for this again. It's so short, I suggest reading it instead. Usually you get more insight as to what the other POV is thinking during interactions with the other main character, but you get veerrrryyyy little of that. You do get a bit more insight into his childhood, but it's super short, more of a teaser. The writing is good as is the narration, it's just not worth the money.

Outstanding

As always the audiobook was outstanding!! The author Holly Black did and awesome job as well as the narrator Caitlin Kelly.

Great Series

I enjoyed this whole series even this lil extra short book added at the end. Takes you to another land and has your imagination is whirling wanting more and once the 3rd book ends this adds just enough to leave you satisfied.

Swoon

So great! Holly creates such a vivid picture that her books feel longer than they are. Although, i wish it was longer still. I loved having the art to look at even though it was an audio book. Overall, it was a very enjoyable read and makes me want to read The whole series again.

wish there were was more

I love this story just as much as I love the rest in the series I just wish there was a more details And better explanation behind his reactions

Wonderful!

Great and entertaining story, after reading The Folk of the Air series, it felt great to see some more of Jude and Cardan, specially Cardan! I adore these series!

Love the story

I love Cardan, he is amazing, even though he’s a jerk in the beginning of the series.

amazing!

the narration was amazing! i loved hearing more about cardan and this perspective. this was a beautiful addition to the original trilogy!

This was a good story

I liked it all but it was short. I do not think it should have cost the same as a full audible book. Since the average audible book is over 6 hours. I did use a credit but still it was too short to cost almost $20. That is my only complaint

Fun & short

Story was fun to hear but it should be longer. And, story should have included more flashbacks to TWK and QON i.e: queen of mirth, undersea, exile, etc...
