Be prepared to gasp, to scream, and perchance to cry. As you read these books, I can personally guarantee that your heart and mind will suffer great trials and tribulations. The Faerie courts are notoriously challenging to navigate. Being there from the beginning means you won’t have to worry about spoilers, in case that’s a concern (and it should be). While it does feature characters from The Cruel Prince and its sequels, collectively called the Folk of the Air series, you can absolutely choose The Stolen Heir as your initial foray into Faerie. If you want to be there for the start of a new duology, The Stolen Heir is what you’re looking for. The Darkest Part of the Forest will give you a great introductory feel for Faerie, and some iconic romance to boot. However, if you’re not ready to dive in headlong, you could try a standalone entry. Jude’s mortal schemes will give you a true taste of everything Faerie has to offer. If you want to dive right in with a trilogy, The Cruel Prince is your best bet. Mine was Tithe, and I have been a loyal devotee ever since. Part of the beauty of Holly Black’s Faerie is its many different points of entry.
Here’s some guidance from a well-worn traveler on how best to read these thrilling books: Greetings, mortals! So, you’ve decided to embark on a journey into Holly Black’s world of Faerie.
