Promo and Giveaway: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Good morning, friends! Today I'm so excited to share a fun post about The Cruel Prince, Holly Black's latest masterpiece. I had the chance to read this book early thanks to Little, Brown/The Novl, and I loved it! Today you can win your own copy of the book, plus some other goodies, courtesy of the lovely folks at The Novl. Don't miss out!


About the Book:


The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
Book One of the Folk of the Air series
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: January 2, 2018

Summary (from Goodreads):

Of course I want to be like them. They’re beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.

And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.

Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.

To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.

In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

    Thanks for reminding me that I need to read The Darkest Part of the Forest. I've had it on my shelf for a while now. Everyone has been raving about The Cruel Prince, so I can't wait to read it.

    I actually just finished reading The Cruel Prince a few days ago and it is definitely my favorite! I loved it! I also enjoy the Fae in Sarah J. Maas's books.

    This one sounds kind of interesting. I have only read one book by Holly Black and that was Iron Trials.

    "Have you read anything by Holly Black? (If you have, what has been your favorite book of hers?) What are some of your favorite YA fae stories?" Alas, I have not read Holly Black. I know so few YA fae stories, so I have not yet got a favorite!

    I first something by Holly Black in the Fearie Reel anthology. Her story was The Night Market. It was my favorite of all the stories, and yes I read them all. XD
    I adored Tithe and I Was A Teenaged Fairy!

    I read the first book in her series with Cassandra Clare. I met them at a signing a few years ago and she was so nice and funny that I read the book when I got home. One of my favorite fae books is the Wondrous Strange series by Lesley Livingston, I read them a few years ago back to back and I loved them.
