The Cruel Prince (The Fold of the Air #1) by Holly Black, 370 p.
"Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself."
I've had this book on my TBR for quite a while, and this opening book was a good read. I liked the juxtaposition of the Fairy world and the "real" world. The story definitely kept me intrigued enough to continue on with the series with some twists and turns, but there were also some very cliche storylines.
