This is a clever way that some fae get away with telling stories that have some truth but are actually lies.

However, they can tell stories if there is some truth to them. Faeries cannot tell lies, which can be complicated for sneaky fae like Cardan. The folklore of fae also played an important role in this story. I liked how this story expanded The Folk of the Air series by showing events before and after the series. The story also took place in the present, when he visits the human world with Jude. There were a couple of chapters from when Cardan was a child, which showed how he was treated by his family. This story gives a glimpse into the world of The Folk of the Air before the series began and after it finished. He began to believe the story was true, until he learned to master it.

He heard that story many times when he was a child from a troll woman named Aslog. Review:Ĭardan was a child with a heart of stone.
