I started reading this book a few months ago, but my mind wasn't in the correct section for high-political fantasy. So I left it to finish at a later date, and here I am with the finished first book of The Folk of the Air series. It took me a bit to gather a care for Jude, though slow, one eventually did build, and now, I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This book is fun to read for the first part of the book, when you are just learning about the characters and how they interact with each other, however they really stay the same spoiled and obsessed as they were in the beginning. During the second part of the book really just drones on for me. It wasn't really interesting for me, so it was a struggle to get through the second half. The prose is formal, for this time period, but not too formal that it is too hard to understand what is going on. Plus, I like the occasional challenge of figuring out what a certain phrase or word means through the context of the story. Overall, I can understand why it is part of the classics, and in some areas, part of the curriculum.
