A Goodreads user asked this question about How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories (The Folk of the Air, #3.5):
Why does everyone love Cardan and glorify his (frankly abusive) relationship with Jude? There is definitely a difference between 'bad boys' and 'assholes', and Cardan falls into the latter for me. He's interesting, but why in the world would you have the hots for him?
Cynthia Is it his tail? LOL? Intriguing. I like the way he improved his behavior over the course of the series. He is vulnerable, yet he has a course exterior…moreIs it his tail? LOL? Intriguing. I like the way he improved his behavior over the course of the series. He is vulnerable, yet he has a course exterior. Soft on the inside? And he is passionate. He realizes his own weaknesses and realizes that Jude has a mind of her own--and that he has work to do in terms of learning from her. :D(less)
