It was Agatha all along!

Murphy: so, just to recap. The Shepherd over there is the same guy who built the bunker that saved humanity from praimfaya twice, and now he wants the flame, broken by you, so he can start a war with whoever built the stones in order to turn all of us into beings of light.

Raven: Yep.

Murphy: Is it weird that to me the craziest part of all of this is bellmay’s robe?

Ladies and Gentlemen - This is why we need John Murphy. He says what we all are thinking!

okay i’m ranting because I started re-reading the cruel prince and i’m upset.

so. queen of nothing was such a DISAPPOINTMENT. 

i’m sorry to anyone who really loved the book but literally. i’m so fucking mad about it. 

the cruel prince was so so good. the wicked king was even better. the setting, the plot, just cardan in general and jude. but queen of nothing was such a massive let down for so many reasons. 

jude is terrifying. like for real. she is a human girl living among the fae and vowed to herself that if she could not become better than them she would become worse. she poisoned herself for months to gain tolerance. she stabbed her own hand, pulled an arrow out of her leg and stitched up the wound herself. murdered a fae prince and buried the body. became cardan’s literal puppet master and ran elfhame. she survived queen orlagh, her own “father.” she adapted to life in fae quickly and understood what it would take to survive there. 

for her to just accept her defeat like she did in queen of nothing was so out of character for her. jude had always done anything she could to find a way to gain control in a situation where she had none. she would have clawed her way back to elfhame if she needed to. but instead she just accepted cardan’s betrayal? it didn’t feel right.

 she had everything she had worked for ripped from her from the person she had just begun to let herself trust, just a bit. she had nothing left to loose, but she just accepted the banishment? she didn’t even try to find a way around it? it’s out of character. like immensely. with everything ripped away from her like that, the jude we had developed and come to know throughout both the cruel prince and the wicked king would have become ruthless and mean and cruel to cheat her way back into elfhame and regain everything she had lost. but she didn’t. it just felt so weird and wrong to me. 

my expectations were high for queen of nothing so maybe that’s my fault as to why i’m so mad about this book, but seriously. everything just felt so rushed and half-assed. the plot was… i don’t even know how to explain it. it just was confusing to me? like i understood it and why it was happening but it just, everything just felt out of character. not to mention that tayrn murdering her husband was just glossed over like nothing had happened? and jude forgave her so quickly? it didn’t feel right. 

this book had so much potential and it fell really fucking short. i’ve never really been unhappy with a book but damn. it was such a letdown. 

don’t get me wrong, i loved the jude and cardan scenes. and the letters :((((( i will always love any jude and cardan scene thrown my way but what ruined it was that it could have been so much better. 

i wanted to see jude desperate, and angry, and like wicked. but we didn’t get any of that. 

when i first saw the size of the book i was scared. and when i got through the first three chapters, it was worse. IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL, IT REALLY DID. THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS HOLLY BLACK COULD HAVE GIVEN US BUT SHE DIDN’T AND I’M JUST A LITTLE BIT UPSET ABOUT IT. 

sorry this sounded harsh but i’m so livid about it like ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Is it just me or did we finally get a lot of answers this episode? So many loose ends..

Legit first 4 episodes I was mostly confused. 10 minutes into the first episode I thought I had skipped an entire season. I could not string it together. It took 5 episodes to finally make some sense of it. Hopefully we’ll get more clarity in upcoming episodes
