Deleted scene from The Queen of Nothing with Jude and Cardan 💕

Queen of Nothing 100% should have ended like this. It ties all the themes of the book together so nicely and I really don't think we got a moment of Jude realizing what she's accomplished and what this alliance means for her. I also feel like this scene circles back to where we first met Jude, in The Cruel Prince, and shows her character growth -- how her goals and desires have changed. She started out telling us that in her heart, she wished to best Cardan and all the folk. Technically, she achieved that. But she ended up doing something much bigger at the same time. Something I don't think Jude would ever have imagined genuinely wanting. I think we needed this scene to fully appreciate the story, I know I did, and I really do feel like this scene adds so much depth and realness to the characters that we didn't get from the pizza party.
