Review: The Stolen Heir by Holly Black 

Quotes: "It is hard to explain the savagry of hope."

"No one in chains could ever truly love you."

"Fear is not love, but it can appear much the same. 
So too, power."

Review: Picking up 8 years after The Queen of Nothing with different POV. Suren is the main character in this. And I have to say, I really liked her. I thought she had tenacity and toughness that was easy to root for. Seeing the world through her eyes gave some perspective on  Elfhame. Also, I thought it was cool to see Oak older now. 
The settings feel familiar but it's entirely different adventure this time around. The ending I quite liked as well. And has made me excited to read part two of this doulogy.
For fans of the original Cruel Prince trilogy, you should definitely read this. 
I give it 4.25 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for reading! ✨️
