Eva’s ghost: so I get killed by my faerie husband

Eva’s ghost: you’d think that would teach them something

Eva’s ghost: BUT THEN THEY BOTH GO AND MARRY FAE

Justin: I know honey.

Jude Duarte is first her MOTHER’S daughter, then Madoc’s

People always say Jude’s personality is a copy paste of Madoc, which to some degree is true. He raised her as a father and very much shaped her. But she was like that before too… just like her mother.

In TWK we get the snippet of Jude taking the training wheels off her bike and getting all bruised up while Taryn stuck to the side walks. And then in TCP we get Madoc’s short description of her mother as being clever and brave and unafraid if the face of Faerie.

She burned down the General’s house with a mother and unborn baby inside so she could get away. To protect the people she loved, Jude would have too.

So yes, Jude was polished by Madoc, but she was shaped first by Eva Duarte.

Why does no one talk about Eva (Jude’s mother) and Asha (Cardan’s mother) being best friends + Justin’s deal with Grimsen ?

I would love a backstory of Asha and Eva’s “friendship” because we know they were best friends who went everywhere together causing trouble. Their companionship was brief, they were both awful and they used to sneak of to the mortal lands together. I can imagine Asha knew what was going on between Justin and Eva and made Eva spill all of the *tea*. I’m very certain that Lady Asha helped Eva and Justin escape and was present at the time of when Eva received that prophecy. It got me thinking how Eva and Justin could get a pregnant mortal in to Madocs household but Asha was probably the one that did by using her glamour. Asha said she could tell Jude about her mother and her mother’s escape which obviously tells us she was there. It also got me thinking if they sent letters to each other while Eva and Justin lived in the mortal lands is well. If Eva and Asha were still in contact then it might have been how balekin found out Eva and Justin were alive (although balekin claims he found out from gossip) … he probably found one of Asha’s letters at the time they lived in the palace (a symbolic reason as to why Asha burned Cardans letters to Jude). We also know Oriana didn’t like Asha and Eva. Which makes me think that part of the reason why she could not tolerate Jude, Taryn, Vivi and couldn’t care less about Cardan is because Eva and Asha were cruel to Oriana. Even though Oriana told Jude Asha never loved anyone, it makes me think Asha might of loved Eva, even if it was only a little bit. Of course Asha will never admit this to anyone because she is a heartless and shallow woman, but I think she wanted to help her friend escape because she could see how miserable Eva was. I get the impression she didn’t think it was a good idea but still did it because she loved Eva. And when she found out Eva had died she must have mourned for her ex best friend. I can also see Asha looking at Jude and Cardan and thinking how much they remind her of herself and Eva. According to Oriana Eva had a great appreciation for Asha’s wickedness and this reminded me of when Cardan said to Jude in TWK “I never thought I could see my cruelty as talents but you did”. That is the exact copy of Asha and Eva. I think that’s why Asha holds a lot of resentment against Jude because Jude is the spitting image of her mother and is a lot like her. And that’s something that Asha is reminded of that she wishes to forget. I can see Asha and Eva getting drunk on wine at each other’s homes and playing cruel pranks on the folk while making fun of everyone and sneaking off to the mortal lands coming back with heeps of mortal clothing, accessories and food while they were friends.

It’s quite interesting to think that Eva, Asha, Oriana and Liriope (Locke+Oaks mother) were all familiar with each other. Could they have been friends all in a group like Cardan, Locke, Nicasia and Valerian ?

But what I want to know is what was the deal Grimsen made with Justin and did it have anything to do with the hag that gave Eva a prophecy about Jude? And something to do with Cardan’s star chart reading? Was the deal that Justin’s future children would have power or something like that? I have no idea but this is a question that NEEDS to be answered before this trilogy ends. Holly Black said she will probably do one more book set in Elfhame after the Prisoners Throne and that Jude will “face a political problem” at the end of this book. This makes me think the last book will go back to Jude and Cardan. And if so we need to know what this deal was….

Madoc talking about Jude and Taryn's mother like this literally ruined my life. I will never recover from this.

So like, is Jude the best blade crafted by a mortal man?

Justen Duarte was offered the secret to learning the practice of a 100 years in a single day If " he parted with something important to him" or something of that nature and until like a week ago I had somehow interpreted that as " he needs to leave elfhame and successfully steal something important a.k.a Eva" I was wrong and it's just that he needs to let go of something important to him.

But what if I was half right ?! what if by escaping elfhame with Eva and giving up (at least momentarily) his life's passion of smithing ? (I can't remember the correct term for it at the moment) he fulfilled the requirements and created the most dangerous weapon ever to exist( Jude Duarte)

Justin Duarte’s bargain with Grimsen

Lowkey we never get an explanation for this, but can we talk about it for a sec?

When Jude meets with Grimsen, he tells her the following:

So Grimsen doesn’t confirm or deny whether Justin actually made the bargain, but we can assume that he did. Because why would Holly Black even bring it up if Justin just declined it? It wouldn’t contribute to the story. So let’s say he accepted.

We can also assume that this wasn’t a straight forward bargain, like most faerie bargains, it must have been vaguely worded and obscure. Poor Justin probably didn’t know what he was gonna lose. And in the end, he lost his wife, then died himself, and his daughters got snatched away.

On the other hand, there’s also an argument for Justin not having accepted the bargain, because while he was an excellent blacksmith, his blades don’t seem to be renowned for being the best in the world. Nightfell is a good sword, but they never emphasise that it’s the best blade ever. So that might indicate that Justin didn’t receive Grimsen’s boon, after all.

wait, I didn't read the cruel prince, but Jude's mum's name is Eva Duarte? EVA DUARTE? like Eva Duarte the first lady of Argentina, wife of Juan Domingo Perón? did nobody notice this?

I'm sorry, this is news to me and I never saw anyone talking about it

There’s something poetic that Eva Duarte was murdered by her fae husband, and then one of her mortal daughters murdered her own fae husband, and the other was prepared to murder her fae husband.

Every single time I read The Folk of Air, I get so mad at Justin Duarte. After everything he and Eva did to protect their daughters from Elfhame and cover their tracks, they are found because he brags about his ability to forge faerie blades. I know he’s a victim, but seriously?!

karma in tfota

(so underrated and for what?)

It was Prince Balekin who had informed Madoc about Eva and Justin's whereabouts

which is how it became possible that Madoc found them and then murdered them

and then not even with the intention of vengeance for her parents, it was Jude Duarte who ended up killing Prince Balekin

(karma, no?)

It was only fair (and not just in the sense that it was a duel to death)
