Summary
 Book 1 of The Stolen Heir.

A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.

Eight years after the Battle of the Serpent, a new threat is rising in the icy north. Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel, where she wields an ancient relic to create monstrous creatures of stick and snow.

Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, has fled to the human world. When the storm hag Bogdana hunts her through the night streets, she is rescued by Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame - the boy to whom she was once promised in marriage and whom she has resented for years. Oak is charming, beautiful and in need of Suren's help. But to go with the prince will mean confronting the past she longs to escape, facing dark magic and risking her heart to someone she cannot trust.

I think this book might be my favourite this year... so far!

Story wise - wren is dimensional and strong and angry and it's perfect. The plot is twisty and interesting the whole way.

Narrator wise - I think I've found my favourite narrator! She made her voice sound exactly like what's described - it's perfect! Plus I love female narrators with deeper voices.

This was just A plus all-around!

story and narrator were the perfect combination

Holly Black has weaved another epic tale with mystery, lies and strategy on a story between 2 very different people. It’s wonderful the way it all plays out.

I hate reading a book when it is newly released as I am too impatient and want the next one straight away! I can’t wait for the next instalment.

Absolutely loved it

I love this book so much. I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the folk of the air series but it was amazing.

Amazing

Don't come here expecting or comparing it to the cruel prince trilogy. It is its own story and it's perfect as it's own story. Loved Wren, she is not Jude, she is her own kind of flawed perfection.

If you venture into this story with no bias, you will enjoy it, I sure as heck did!

Thoroughly enjoyed.
