I am now able to see the sharp contrast between Nicasia and Jude, especially with how Cardan fell in love with Jude. I thought I knew everything about their story, but now some of the holes in the history are filled. One detail I loved was that Cardan's copy of [b:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass|24213|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass|Lewis Carroll|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327872220l/24213._SY75_.jpg|2375385] originally belonged to Jude and her sisters, so Cardan was carrying around a piece of his future love since the beginning. A prime example of [a:Holly Black|25422|Holly Black|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1589911274p2/25422.jpg]'s startling, impressive PLOT WEAVING!
