The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) – Holly Black

Jude was seven when she was taken from the human world and brought to the dangerous High Court of Faerie. Determined to earn her place among the immortal folk despite being mortal, she becomes entangled in deadly court politics, shifting alliances and the schemes of the cruel Prince Cardan.

A dark, addictive YA fantasy packed with intrigue, ambition, betrayal and unforgettable characters, and one of the most talked-about series among fantasy and romantasy readers.

Rated 4.00 on Goodreads. Readers love the rich faerie world-building, the fierce, ambitious heroine and the twisty political schemes. The characters are morally grey and the romance is a slow burn, which is exactly why fans can't get enough.
