I AM SO MAD THE GHOST BETRAYED THEM.
OH NY LORD BRO HE WAS SO FINE LIKE ARE WE SERIOUS??? He was one of my fav characters too😓😓 Buttt yeah no he got Jude locked up in the sea for like a month… unacceptable AND he bombed the court of shadows.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACOIOUS THE ROACH AND THE BOMB ARE SO CUTE. I want them to get together SO FREAKING BAD they are so adorable oh my goodness. ugh if they don’t end up together I will cry myself to sleep mark my words.
Honestly I loved the pace of this book, it was like perfect. Not too fast, not too slow, but once it was moving IT WAS INTENSE.
like VERY.
also im so happy that damn balekin is dead. LIKE ASKING JUDE TO KISS HIM??? TF?? like why are u trying to humiliate her so bad..
Also idk how to feel abt this last scene with cardan bois i cannot believe he did this. he had me KICKING AND SCREAMING when he asked Jude to marry him and be his wife just for him to kick her out of faerie for killing balekin and laugh in her face in front of the others when she said she was queen?? This man BETTER be on his knees begging for forgiveness and be YEARNING the entire book. Cause tf?? I’m gonna need to run that fade. We have personal beef now bc NO ONE does my girl Jude like that and get away with it. 😐

Also if I haven’t expressed this enough, Taryn pissed me off THE ENTIRE DAMN BOOK like always. I cannot believe she betrayed Jude. Like seriously?? That’s ur sister boi.. and she betrayed her and left with Madoc?? I call BULLSHITTTT I hate her bro.
And Locke?? Yeah no Jude should have killed him when he had the chance.
That creep is fucking INSANE.
He followed Jude to MADOCS ESTATE WITH HIS FRIENDS to “play” with her (LITERALLY ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SHOT HER WITH AN ARROW??) like HOW is that playing. get u and ur corny little story’s out of here broski. 😐

omg the viví and heather situation, I think that viví should probably have told heather about everything and DEFINITELY not ENCHANTED heather to forget when they turned her into a cat bc she was crying??? That’s messed up even if she was trying to help. So I think heather had every right to book and move out of the apartment with viví and oak.
However, I really hope that they get back together the next book because they are so freaking cute!!🫶🫶

In conclusion, this book was extraordinary and I would definitely recommend!! Especially to new fantasy readers. 💗
4.9⭐️| 0.5🌶️ ...more

(Reread) Bro I can’t 😭😭😭😭 knowing how the series ends, I’m just imagining Cardan patting himself on the back for being so clever, while Jude slowly plans his demise and how she’ll make him pay.
And that smirk before Jude got b********. I just can’t, she got so mad for literally no reason. Cardan did say “only the crown can pardon her”. Like bruv did she forget about their marriage that quickly?????? It happened less than 24hrs ago???

Solo tengo que decir que me vicie con esta saga, "Los habitantes del aire". Una y otra vez siento que ya la supere lo suficiente como para dejar de releer sus frases pero entro a Pinterest o cualquier otra plataforma que tenga que ver con libros y BAM!!! Me releeo mitad del libro sin que esa fuera mi intencion inicial. Esta es como la septima vez que releeo sus frases y vaya... No entiendo como no me canso de leerlo, lo cual me pone muy feliz ya que esto no me habia pasado antes con ningun libro ...more
