The Prisoner's Throne (A Novel of Elfhame)

Where TikTok's Faerie Obsession Began

By: Holly Black

Narrated by: Barrett Leddy

The highly anticipated conclusion to the Stolen Heir duology by no. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Holly Black.

An imprisoned prince. A vengeful queen. And a battle that will determine the future of Elfhame.

Prince Oak is paying for his betrayal. Imprisoned in the icy north and bound to the will of a monstrous new queen, he must rely on charm and calculation to survive. With High King Cardan and High Queen Jude ready to use any means necessary to retrieve their stolen heir, should Oak attempt to regain the trust of the girl he's always loved, or remain loyal to Elfhame and hand over the means to end her reign - even if it means ending Wren too...

With war looming and treachery lurking in every corner, neither Oak's guile nor his wit will be enough to keep everyone he loves alive. He will have some terrible choices to make.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes the stunning blood-soaked conclusion to the Stolen Heir duology.

pretty good

I enjoyed this way more than the first book. had aloy more going on. loved the character development and how deeply the character feeling were stydied. Carden and jude made a cameo.

Not as good as the first

I enjoyed the story, I love everything to do with the faery world created by Holly Black. But I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first. I liked that we got to see things from Oaks perspective, but I enjoyed Wren’s character so much more. I found his character more difficult to identify with (I am not a spoilt fairy prince). I also found the performance to have less connection and emotion than the voice actor who played Wren. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in the Undersea!

A bit of a let down

Honestly, I love the fact there were Jude and Cardan like that’s the only reason I preordered this but idk the story is kinda a let down. It’s not the same feeling you gotten after finishing reading The Wicked King or Queen of Nothing. Like, the story is just, I’m just saying Wren should do more worse things as they were building up her character to be in the first book. Sorta a let down cuz Wren and Oak could be ‘more’ than what they written to be in this.
