The Stolen Heir is the first book in a new duology that takes place in the world of Elfhame by Holly Black. It is a story about Suren or ‘Wren’ the Queen of the now disbanded Court of Teeth, and the High Queen of Elfhame Jude’s little brother, Prince Oak.

It was lovely to encounter Madoc in this story as I’d throughly enjoyed the character in the Folk of the Air trilogy.

Suren is not as strong a main character as Jude was in the Folk of the Air series. That made it hard to connect with her. However, I’m curious about the plot going forward, especially with how it ends. I’ll be picking up the second book to see how it all wraps up.
