There seems to be a lot of mixed reviews and it proves difficult to trust influencers, based on the honesty reddit has shown about other popular titles. Overall, I am in love with this series and I cannot wait to for the final book to come out later this year. Is the Folk of Air trilogy worth all the hype Ive ordered the box set because it was on sale after putting it off for months. Yet, I think older teens would have the maturity to see this red flag and address the issue correctly. When bullying causes almost death, I see a serious red flag. The bullying almost crosses a line when this group of faeries try to drown Jude in a river and later on, they almost kill her by forcing her to eat a fruit that can be fatal to humans like herself. The main character, Jude, is bullied by a group of faeries at school, which includes Prince Cardan (who is another main character in this series). The one thing that bothered me just a bit was the bullying. Violence is typical in fantasy novels a few stabbings are the main violence in this book. The violence is a lot, but I wouldn't describe it as 'graphic' or 'frightening', especially for older teens.

This book has some great romance, no sex, just some passionate kisses.

Even the main protagonist, Jude, is not necessarily 'good'. The faeries in this book are manipulative, greedy, deceiving, and some are straight up murderers.

This book is full of faeries, but these are not your typical sing-song happy-go-lucky faeries with pixie wings and a little magic. It was very clean, which is actually quite hard to find in a Young Adult fantasy book these days. I am a huge fan of darker fantasy and so this book blessed my life with its gothic vibes. This series is one of my most favorite book series of all time.
