![]() When bullying causes almost death, I see a serious red flag. The bullying almost crosses a line when this group of faeries try to drown Jude in a river and later on, they almost kill her by forcing her to eat a fruit that can be fatal to humans like herself. The main character, Jude, is bullied by a group of faeries at school, which includes Prince Cardan (who is another main character in this series). The one thing that bothered me just a bit was the bullying. Violence is typical in fantasy novels a few stabbings are the main violence in this book. The violence is a lot, but I wouldn't describe it as "graphic" or "frightening", especially for older teens. This book has some great romance, no sex, just some passionate kisses. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even the main protagonist, Jude, is not necessarily "good". The faeries in this book are manipulative, greedy, deceiving, and some are straight up murderers. ![]() This book is full of faeries, but these are not your typical sing-song happy-go-lucky faeries with pixie wings and a little magic. It was very clean, which is actually quite hard to find in a Young Adult fantasy book these days. I am a huge fan of darker fantasy and so this book blessed my life with its gothic vibes. This series is one of my most favorite book series of all time. ![]()
