I absolutely loved getting to return to Elfhame. Wren’s story is heartbreaking from beginning to end but I just know book two is really going to be amazing.

Overall an amazing book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it was boring in some parts. I absolutely loved the plot of this book, and that plot twist was brutal. Loved Wren's character, it certainly was very interesting to see how despite her being faerie, she behaved and lived like a human. Definitely contrasted Jude's character. I didn't love Oak, especially seeing him as a child in the Cruel Prince. I'm particularly excited to read the Prisoner's Throne, and to see how the plot goes.

Definitely worth reading, I went in thinking this can’t be as good as the Jude+Cardan trilogy but I was wrong. I raced through the book in 2 days it was so good. Must read!!
Don’t go into this expecting Cruel Prince and you will enjoy it so much more. I really enjoyed my time spent with this story.
I think I just enjoyed being back in the world so much! After reading one too many books that had poor execution on the world building, Holly Black scratched that itch for me.
I am actually excited for the sequel, which doesn’t happen often so it must have been good ;)

there wasn’t much suspense at times but the characters are truly amazing. Oak and Wren are such complex and compelling characters and i love them and can’t wait to see more of them. i wonder how anyone could actually dislike them.
if it were only up to them, i’d give this 5 stars, but the lack of suspense in the storyline kind of bothered me. the ending was great though.

this was everything i had anticipated AND MORE. holly black's ability to weave stories and metaphors and magic is... well, MAGIC.
