A review by thesandyreader
The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black

adventurous dark emotional hopeful fast-paced

4.0

Yes yes yes!! Now this is what I expect from Holly! Incredible!

I really enjoyed this book. We get backstory, insight into plots and twists from the previous series that are well described and have an impact on this book, blackmail and backstabbing, redemption, and a dash of honest love. Just perfect. 

The weaving of this story was exceptional - even when I thought I had all the information and was sussing out what was going on, it quickly became clear I was missing things and it all just wasn’t quite lining up. And I loved it. That’s the kind of story I love from Holly - plots on plots on plots, everyone out for a different goal and working in the shadows to get it done. 

Highly recommend if you enjoyed the rest of her books, and definitely read the rest of this series first for full context.
