Stolen Heir & Prisoners Throne
After reading the original, the folk of the air, trilogy and very much regreting it I was left with wanting read a book about fairies that was actually good. On paper, the trilogy should have been something I'd love. "It has whimsical creutaers, ıt has cool whimsical world, it has morally grey characters and generally grey morallity" I enjoy reading those topics, I wish they were actually in the book... But anyways, since the trilogy didn't gave what it promised I wanted to read a book thaht did keeps it's promises. I have seen people say that Holly Balck's other works is nothing like the trilogy and even it's sequals is vastly different. I looked at some of the ne star review an goodreads to see what people were complaing about, I came across a lot of people complaining about "Lore dumping","Oak having hooves" (you know, a non human charcter in a fantasy book having non human features) and "Not being like jurdan!!!". All of those thing were a win in my book so decieded to give the doulogy a try
So, I'm gonna summarize the books and give commentary as I go, then analyze the charcter indivudiley. Lastly, compare the duology to trilogy and give my overall thoughs
-Stolen Heir-
The book starts with introduction of wren,our main character. This already a better start then The cruel prince, which starts with the introduction of a side character. Wren was fae child raised by a human family, she grew up without knowing her true identity. Until her real fae parents show up force her back to elfhame so she can be their "queen"(prisoner). We do see wWen(or Suren as her fae family refer to her) in The Queen of Nohing. After the events of qon she stalkes her human family
