I’m Jim, a dyslexic english major who loves to read 📚
I adore fantasy, sci-fi, Y/A, queer and neurodiverse rep, but also will literally read almost anything!
Some of the great loves of my life so far include: The Shadowhunter Chronicles, Percy Jackson, Inkheart, Folk of the Air, The Raven Cycle, Graceling Realm, The Remnant Chronicles, Shades of Magic, and The Lunar Chronicles.
I am perpetually emotionally invested in fictional worlds and fictional characters, and am an avid consumer of fanfiction as well as published literature
I’m just getting back into having a public account after taking a hiatus from being perceived, and am building a following again!
» what series do you want more of? hello friends, I cannot wait for more Elfhame books! Give me more Cardan any day of the week. I’ll take whatever I can get. ♡ I still do need to read How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories.. I’ve been meaning to read it for forever now. » hashtags:. #holkyblack #folkoftheair #thefolkoftheair #cruelprince #thecruelprince #bookstack #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammademedoit #bookstacks #readingcommunity #alwaysreading #fae #booksofinstagram #readmorebooks #bookstagrammer #stackofbooks #bookishaesthetic #bookcollection #bookcollector (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJLrgqLDFu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
So, I tried reading The Stolen Heir by Holly Black because I adored TFOTA...
But nope. I just couldn't get into it. I ended up skimming it just to look for references. I need more Jude and Cardan. Like it just-
UGH.
They have the same effect on me as Jem and Tessa, Will and Tessa, Aaron and Juliet, Rowan and Aelin, Percy and Annabeth. LIKE THERE IS NOTHING THAT AND I FEEL BAD??
First chapter of this book was the thing that got me hooked.
“In Faerie, there are no fish sticks, no ketchup, no television” – p. 8 Chapter 1
The prologue leads us into what life was before, and what terrible trauma that always loomed over the head of our Jude Duarte and her sisters. What I love about this first instalment is how Jude will do everything to stay in the realm, not as a bride but as a warrior and all she does to keep being there. She keeps getting knocked off her feet by the fae prince Cardan Greenbriar and she will do everything to prove her worth.
It’s a book about Assassins, Betrayal and Love, and an amazing read. This was my first intro into the Fae world, and certainly isn’t my last book. I adore the writing made by Holly Black, and in case you were wondering, I first found this book through booktok where it was rather popular. I wanted to see what the hype was about, and the only reason I ever put it down was because I did not want to finish it before I had the sequel which I had wished for Christmas last year instead of buying it. So, I 10/10 recommend and I will give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
“Yet I am surprised when he turns to me, eyes blazing. It feels as though the room is empty but for us. He lifts his glass anew, mouth curving in a mockery of a smile. «And to Jude, who gave me a gift tonight. One that I plan to repay in kind.»” “Ma quando si gira verso di me con gli occhi fiammeggianti, resto senza parole. È come se ci fossimo solo noi. Alza il calice e con la bocca arricciata in un sorriso canzonatorio, dice: «E a Jude che stasera mi ha fatto un dono che contraccambierò».” E come richiesto… ecco qualche foto del mio istant cosplay di #cardan della serie #thefolkoftheair che grazie alla mia parabatai inizia a prendere forma... ✨Avete letto questa serie? #thecruelprince #thewickedking #judeduarte #princecardan #thewickedking #hollyblack #courtofshadows #judeandcardan #cardanandjude #cardan #folkoftheair #thefolkoftheair #cardangreenbrair #thequeenofnothing #yafantasy #faerie #highcourtoffaerie #tcp #cardancosplay #bookcosplay #anwimmcosplay #gdr (presso Elfhame) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceed05VsnAA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
if there is one thing about me it is that i am not immune to the weird mean elves. sorry. that is my burden to bear. i think they are so neat. i want to study them under the microscope and put them into the situations.
» what fictional location would you NOT want to visit? hello friends, As magical as the land of Faerie sounds, I would be terrified to actually go there. Knowing myself I would eat or drink something I wasn’t supposed to & bam I’m stuck there forever. » hashtags:. #holkyblack #folkoftheair #thefolkoftheair #cruelprince #thecruelprince #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammademedoit #readingcommunity #alwaysreading #fae #booksofinstagram #readmorebooks #bookstagrammer #bookishaesthetic (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia0ygSP6hX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
