A review by emilylou
The Stolen Heir by Holly Black

dark emotional mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Initial reaction: this book felt messy. We were not given enough information about the players and the issues at hand.  The time between the last series and this one is treated as common knowledge, and it is now. I’m hoping after the next book all these loose threads will be tired up.
