Reseñas de la Crítica

'Debauchery, despair, deceit, and grisly death – what more could you ask for from a fairy tale? A luscious treat for fans of urban fantasy and romantic horror.' (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review)

'The exquisite faeries haunt as well as charm.' (Publishers Weekly)

Slow… So slow

Meh, it was ok. Slow story, took awhile to get interesting.
I did not like narrator’s voice at all.

I love the accent she gave him even if her voice did make him sound a little girly

The story was very good, very traditional cruel and tricky fae which was a good difference from some fae in books where they only have hearts of gold. I like Kaye, and I love Roiben.

This narrator drove me insane

Love the book. The narrator drives me insane with her pronunciation, I had to stop listening.

chapters not labeled correctly

I read cruel prince and this part of the series didn't live up to the others.
also the chapters are all labeled wrong

I’m so unbelievably happy

These books were my safe place as a kid and now almost fifteen years later I can love them and their characters all over again

I’m ensorcelled 🥰

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Holly Black is a brilliant writer. Her storytelling lifts the veil to the magical realm. Her characters are edgy but relatable. I love that you hear the story from several characters points of view.

Fun fantasy story

Read this when I was in high school . A fun read. If you love faeries you’ll be into this one.

worth the wait !!

i’ve been waiting for this amazing story to join its companions on audible for years — and I was not disappointed once it did, This book was the gateway into Faerie for me so many years ago; it remains among my favorites to this day, along with other works of Holly Black. How I missed Kaye & Roiben!

Young Adult Novel

I read Cruel Prince first thinking this would be similar. I was wrong. As an adult I nearly DNF this. But for a younger reader it would be fun.

the author

holly black has been my favorite since I was a kid. going back now as a grown woman rereading these books. i still get the tingles. her stories are beautiful.
