![]() ![]() As an art person myself, I love seeing drawings in the sketch stage, before they are finalized. The Barnes & Noble edition of the book has a behind the scenes look including sketches, character studies, and other drawings that did not make it into this book. The real treat of these stories for me was the illustrations – the gorgeous drawings help bring this story life. Her backstory fascinates me and we get to see the real her in this, from Cardan’s POV, rather than a hateful Nacasia that Jude saw. I liked seeing how Nacasia first came to the land and into Cardan’s life. ![]() These stories are all from his POV, rather than Jude’s we see in Folk of the Air, which was a nice change of pace. These were a delight to read and learn just a little more about Cardan and why he is the way he is – and how he grows up to change. ![]() These stories range from present time, set in the modern world, to when Cardan was a child in Elfhame. It adds just a little extra to the Folk of the Air world and I think its a nice finishing touch. It’s six short stories with gorgeous illustrations by Rovina Cai throughout the book. If you were wondering if you should pick up How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories – my suggestion would be yes. Read this and more reviews on Frayed Books: ![]()
