How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black

4.25

This was sooo much fun!! I loved being back in the elfhame world.. just if only for a second because this was a short novella. I do agree with the others in which they wish this was a lengthy novel as I would have loved to have experienced cruel prince through his perspective.. buut I do like the little snippets that we got because then we dont have a midnight sun scenario. 

Loved seeing the origins with nicasia and locke. But mostly why the king of elfhame hated stories.. I was wondering why that title and then the troll lady began telling him stories and then suddenly I understood. 

It was more like ..ugh omens.. type of scenario for him. But I :) jurdan is so cute.. Not my typical romance but they are very beautiful together. I am glad that I read the stolen heir story because I got my crumbs with them and then a new story. 

Overall fun experience and I wont rate it 5 stars because I think a 5 star book needs to be life changing. so 4.5 or 4.25 is a good rating for this fun novella.
