Ever since I finished “Stolen Heir,” I’ve been chomping at the bit for more (too soon?)!
Thankfully my library hold for “How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories” came through in the nick of time to fill that Holly Black gap in my life.
It’s a novella so it wasn’t quite long enough for my taste, but it was that perfect blend of the dark and whimsical parts of fairyland. I also loved that it gave us a peek into Carden’s past.
