This a story that looks at the once upon a time of a boy with a wicked tongue. You’ll definitely want to add this to your TBR! And while I do recommend that you read the trilogy before you pick this up, I think you could potentially read this as a standalone if you don’t mind missing some fun nuances. If you loved the Cruel Prince trilogy, you’re going to want to have this book for your collection. Not only that but getting to see more of Cardan’s perspective allowed me to enjoy the life of this chaotically charming villain of a prince and king. While it’s not long at all, I definitely feel satisfied by how this story developed into its own little world. The illustrations perfectly complement this book in a way that compels you to turn the page and keep reading. Holly Black took such a unique and fun approach to this story and I devoured every page of this book. I’m a big fan of getting to return to my favourite fantasy lands after the story ends, especially when they’re in the form of stories. What a decadently fun way to return to Elfhame.
