Description
The King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is a lavishly illustrated collection of vignettes that explores the life of Cardan, a prince from the world of Faerie. This book is a companion to the trilogy told from Jude's perspective, and offers a fresh perspective on Cardan's story. The narrative is framed around a pivotal moment in Cardan's life, and weaves together three iterations of a story that have been passed down to him. These vignettes provide a glimpse into Cardan's relationships with those around him, including his responsibilities as High King of Elfhame. The story is both familiar and fresh, with each retelling standing alone as a complete tale. Holly Black's writing continues to build an ever-expanding mythos with her Faerie stories, and this volume is no exception. While prior knowledge of The Folk of the Air trilogy is required, readers will find new delights and familiar moments retold within these pages.
