The Stolen Heir by Holly Black
2.0
The interesting characters were not fleshed out enough and the main protagonist was seemingly not doing anything to help herself except complain.
Most of the story was not very exciting and nothing really happens or picks up until 80% of the way and then it does get faster and you can see how the story is pacing it’s way for book 2. And yes, I do want to read the next book!
The twist was very predictable so I was disappointed there.
If I hadn’t read The Cruel Prince trilogy I may not have had as high expectations perhaps.
The world building is consistent with the Fae world that Black has already explored in her other stories and it is wonderfully wielded into this story too.
