Jude was seven 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.
As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal 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.
It started a bit slow, introducing world and main characters but around two thirds of the book it took a very story defining turning point and the pace went up heavily. I enjoyed especially the last part and will be continuing with the other books of the series.
I recommend this if you're into books that build on the myths of fairyland and show it as a dangerous and scary place. Or if you like stories where someone is in a bad situation and has to rely on their resourcefulness and what makes them different from everybody else.
I started this book thinking I probably wouldn't finish it, but before long I was hooked and am now disappointed that I'm going to have to wait for the sequel.
