I think the full gravity of qon's climax just hit me again. Jude, who schemed so much to keep Cardan under her control in the previous books, didn't choose to do that again when she got the chance to. She had the chance to get alot of power, control over cardan and others, the chance to rule undisputed, to never be afraid again. But she didn't choose it. She chose Cardan instead. Chose him over herself too (she mentions she isn't sure if she'll be able to bear the pain of losing him). She let go of all that she wanted before because she didn't want to give Cardan a life of misery, of being trapped. She set him free, only to find him again.
SHE CHOSE CARDAN AND HIS LOVE OVER EVERY-FUCKING-THING ELSE—
brb while I weep again.
Can we get a “Court Of Frost And Starlight” moment with Jude and Cardan, Holly?... or ummm
I just finished The Queen Of Nothing..
I already miss them so much.
It was a wonderful series that I read faster then I have any story in a long time. I read Cruel Prince immediately and waited for Queen Of Nothing to come out so I could read Wicked King and Queen of Nothing back to back.
Jude was a charcter unlike any other that I have read before. Her and Cardan’s relationship make me laugh, smile, and cry many times.
Reading those books kinda felt like going on a rollercoaster ride. So many ups and downs, schemes, and betrayals. I don’t know if I will enjoy a book as much ever agian.
Props to Holly Black for writing a great series and one that I will reread many times over. I know I will miss these charcters deeply.
The next thing we know is that Jude’s riding on a horse into Elfhame and has a Burger King Crown on her head.
Cardan literally going from John Mulaney “thats my wife” to sex god “one day I’ll hear you scream” is ICONIC
Sometimes I’m sad. Sometimes I’m a bitch. Most of the time I’m a complete mess.
I’m never the one.
the concept of vinyl records will never cease to amaze me like they put SOUND in there!!!!!!! what the hell and fuck
anybody else painfully painfully aware of time passing or is that just a me problem

the weeks after the murder were filled with fake tranquility. charles was drinking more than ever. richard wasn’t able to sleep without medicine. francis started smoking more and more. henry’s headache got worse.
The game is…on?
today's mood: big old house on the outskirts of old town, having your own art gallery at home and enjoying beautiful pictures, spending time by candlelight, listening to the harp and reading classical novels

Do you ever just watch a movie/tv show that has a cool group of friends and get sad because you know that you will never have a friendship like that. Like, you have friends but its not actually like that and you know that your friends just don’t care that much...
