some of you have never struggled not to look at a book or series’ tag on tumblr before finishing it and it shows

I figured it out

Good book series come in odd numbers. Harry Potter- 7 books, Percy Jackson- 5 books, The Hunger Games- 3 books, The Lord of the Rings- 3 books, Twiglight- 4 books…. oh wait.

How am I supposed to survive an entire year until the Queen of Nothing is released, after the most tortuous cliffhanger ever?

the biggest mood

Jurdan after the wicked king:

*Jude sitting at home eating ice cream and watching tv, being pissed at Cardan for kicking her out and plotting her revenge.*

*Meanwhile Cardan in his bedroom*

“How has she not figured out that she is queen of fairy and can pardon herself.”

*two minutes later*

Me: *picks book up*

Book: *is still stressful*

Me: Oh gOSH.

The significance of Cardan returning Jude’s ring during their wedding vows

1. So my first thought was that it’s super cute that Cardan knew about the human tradition of exchanging rings and thought to incorporate that into marrying his human wife, especially since the book explicitly states it’s not a faerie custom.  

2. Then, I started thinking that this gesture might be a little more significant. Cardan stole Jude’s ring near the very beginning of the book. He might have been planning on marrying her back then and possibly already planned on banishing her. (But it’s also Cardan so he might have just taken the ring to mess with Jude.) 

3. But then I started thinking about how it’s strange that Cardan isn’t giving Jude a ring—he’s returning it. He’s High King. He could easily get a ring made for Jude.

Although it’s never explicitly stated in the book or the extras, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jude’s ring became important to him, especially when she was imprisoned in Undersea. It’s the only possession he had of the woman he loved.

When Cardan returns the ring to Jude, he may be accepting her as his wife. But he is simultaneously giving up a piece of her that he has carried with him, By extension, he is giving up her—which foreshadows Jude’s banishment.

4. This also made me think a bit about one of the major themes in this book and many of Holly Black’s other books—the balance of power in relationships. Cardan returning the ring (and the marriage as a whole), tried to resolve the difference of power in their relationship. With their agreement, Jude releases Cardan from his vow to obey her and she becomes queen. Hypothetically, this makes their relationship equal. But in the end Cardan banishes Jude so it’s not an equal relationship, at least not yet.

Jurdan’s child headcanon

Jude and Cardan have a child

He is 3 years old and is the sweetest little gumball and the wickedest lil trickster at the same time

He has Cardan’s black eyes and pale skin

And owns a miniature version of his tail

And his hair is a mixture of Jude’s auburn and Cardan’s black, which is a shade of dark brown with a hint of reddish shine in it

He cannot lie, but sometimes he comes up with crazy stories

He is an expert at exaggerating

He is an even bigger drama queen than his father

Which, to be honest, says something

He has the habit of making a big deal out of everything

“Mommy, dose pepole tried to kidnap mey!”

AKA the time when the Gentry kids tried to make friends with the little Prince

“Mommy, tha ugley man is looking at mey!”

AKA the time when Locke smiled at the little Prince

“Mommy, why are dese pepole taching mey?”

AKA the time when a group of pixies gave the little Prince a flower crown

He is obsessed with Jude

He follows her   e v e r y w h e r e

And therefore he listens to all her conversations

And therefore he knows pretty much all her secrets

Every time something remotely unpleasant happens, he makes everyone believe that a major disaster struck him

Which gives him a good excuse to cuddle with Jude

But he is actually really shy

Especially around strangers

Or people he doesn’t trust or like

He refuses to talk every time he feels uncomfortable or threatened

Like one time, when both Jude and Cardan were away, and Taryn took care of him

And he had to spend a whole day with TaRyn and LOckE

He spent the whole day without saying a single word

He basically just sat on a chair and glared at Locke with apparent hatred

At the end when Cardan came to pick him up, he ran into his arms

And told him how badly they treated him

The story included different kind of torturing machines, a lot of screaming, and the dead body of a duckling

So yeah he doesn’t like Locke

Not really

But he likes to play with Cardan’s tail

It kind of calms him down whenever he feels upset

Sometimes he compares his own with Cardan’s

And they make up bedtime stories with their tails as main characters

Talking of bed time

Eventhough he has his own room, he usually sneaks into his parents’ bedroom

And crawls into their bed to sleep with them
