L'héritier trahi by Holly Black

hitherthithergirl's review against another edition

5.0

Holly Black writes some of the cruelest fairytales where everyone has some kind of family trauma, and yet makes it fresh and interesting every time. There are plenty of cameos and new threats, and this time they’re actually on a quest to fix things!

Wren is an absolutely feral child that just needs a hug and Oak is a true scion of the Greenbriar line. And, no, I will not explain except that they’re occasionally have unexpected Howl/Sophie vibes.

I’m just happy to see people are still terrified of Jude. I can’t wait for the next book!

Wren intrigued me in the trilogy so having her the MC here was really great. She was really well written and her straying between the human and elven world was neat. The story dragged initially IMO but once it got going, it went hard. Predictable twist but not in a bad way. Also a soft villain origin story even though I’m sure she will not stay like this, I liked it 4/5 stars

**revised to 3/5 after the sequel which was written way better

This book had potential to be as good as the rest in the series, but I couldn’t connect enough to care about the characters.
