The Stolen Heir // Book Review

Woah, where do I start?

First off, Wren is such an interesting character and she really is that girl. I loved her backstory and how she helps mortals due to her past. As well as, her complicated relationship with her mother and human family. I love that she solves riddles and expands on her trickery throughout the book. And I loved how she saw Oaks betrayed her and kept that same energy.

Unlike others, I didn’t mind that Oak was older now. I do think that the constant reminders about his appearance and how he plays people’s heartstrings got tiring at a certain point. However, I did like he was charismatic, and was a man of the people – till he wasn’t. Jude really did do her job like, ugh queen 😘. In addition, I thought Oak’s relationship with Madoc was really interesting due to the fact Jude didn’t want Oak around him at all, bashing him to the mortal realm at the end of Book 3, yet he still wormed himself into Oak’s life and heart.

The plot itself was interesting but a little boring and stale at times. I thought some of the action scenes were dull, like the fight in the cursed forest. As well as, I preferred the shorter 31 chapters to the long 18 of this one. However, I did like that we saw more of how “common” folk of Elfhame interact, as in the original trilogy, there was a lot more focus on the family drama and politics that you didn’t see how the “regular” or surface level people interacted.

Hyacinthe and Tiernan were relationship was interesting and I want more of their backstory. I actually do love the Hyacinthe was loyal to Wren and kept his word, and Tiernan grew on me as a character.

Although I’m not a big Madoc fan, he was a special treat. I do wish we had saw Jude, Cardan and the other’s, just to see how they are living their life’s now.

Overall, I rate this book anywhere from 3.5 to 4 stars, due to the fact I loved the characters so much especially Wren. I’m hoping for more twists and turns in the sequel and I know Holly Black will serve us something delicious.

teal eyes are assessing, even in the throne room of another court. she was caught weak once, and she refuses to let it happen again. even as fae danced across the room in their finery, gwyn kept her dagger secured to her thigh. her movements are fluid, a dance in itself as she moved through between wings and claws and teeth towards the dais.

gwyn dropped low, the dark green gown billowing around her before she stands. honestly, as a valkyrie, she'd expected less politics and more warfare, but aren't they one and the same? even if the politic aspect bores her.

"king cardon," her voice is a song as she rises, and her smile warms her face. "the night court extends their thanks for the invitation tonight, but unfortunately our high lord and high lady were unable to make it." a wink that's more mischievous than not. "but it has allowed me to see more of the world, and elfhame if far more beautiful then rumor claims." // starter for @cruelprincae

CARDAN AND JUDE QUOTES FROM THE PRISONER’S THRONE

Holly Black read from The Prisoner's Throne in 4 seperate TikToks for hotkeybooks. Here are the 4 snippets (along with the links to all 4 videos 😌):

Jude only gives her brother a grim smile, “Well then what a wonderful opportunity for you to prove your loyalty and die.”

Oak can feel the sharp edges of her nails as they dig into his neck. He shivers with the sensation. He doesn’t want careful anymore than he wants safe.

“Have I ever told you how much you sound like Madoc when you talk about murder?, Cardan asks, opening one eye. “Because you do.”

“If you mean for me to be your pet,” Oak says, “there’s no reason to return me to my pen. My leash is very secure as you have shown, you have only to pull it taut.”

I would literally sell my organs just for a Cardan POV of that one party scene when he had gold on his face, being devoured by fae and staring right at jude and locke

[aermont]

I feel like he would wear this shirt just to annoy Jude :p
