This book sucked me in as much as The Cruel Prince did (and it certainly didn't hurt that I feel as if I'm starving for even a taste of Jude and Cardan again). Wren is such an interesting character and not one that I see often. I'm always hunting for more fae stories and this one did not disappoint!

I enjoyed this book.  It took me awhile to really get into the book and i felt as if i was dragging on. Though once I got to the point where i was into the book i finished the book really quickly. I can't wait to read the next one though.

Although The Cruel Prince trilogy will always hold a special place in my heart, the Stolen Heir was a great follow-up. Black is a masterful writer and phenomenally brings readers back into the dark and beautiful faire. Although it’s not necessary to read the original books first, I would highly recommend, since The Folk of the Air is absolutely increidble. Ultimately would highly recommend! 

I’m very nervous to see how Jude and Cardan will play a role in this next novel, but at the same time excited to see where it goes
