The Stolen Heir by Holly Black

2.0

"it is hard to explain the savagery of hope"

Holly Black, girl, what happened? I could've read every other page and have been just as confused and still felt like it was too long. There was none of the magic, surprise, tension, or plans as in The Cruel Prince series. It felt like the same formula was followed every 50 pages and yet it still made no sense. But the writing was stunning in places and she had me in the first 50 pages. Suuuuper disappointing.
