In fact, I think she did an even better job explaining Elfhame’s magical system than her previous series. My problem with the story is not really with the plot, characters, or world.
However, the entirety of The Stolen Heir is Oak and Suren interacting with each other. She developed the relationship between these two characters more carefully than she did in the first book of The Cruel Prince where the characters magically fell in love with each other in the final pages. I fell in love with the main characters, Queen Suren and Oak, and have always been captivated by the world of faeries that Black creates. I was left conflicted about Black’s latest series (the final book of the duology is scheduled for release in 2024). 27 while trying my best not to die of boredom reading a different book for my British Literature II class. A map from The Stolen Heirīought on its release day, Jan. We even get brief references to the original novels. Like always, Black did a great job at setting up a completely new story for her readers to experience within the same world of her first series. Now, having chosen to leave Elfhame and live in the woods, Suren finds herself returning to the Court of Teeth to save Oak’s father, Madoc, and take back Queen Mab’s bones from her evil mother. The novel takes place eight years after the main events of the series which saw Cardan claim the throne of Elfhame and name Jude its first mortal queen. In her sequel series, we learn about Suren, the child-queen of the Court of Teeth from the original trilogy, and her relationship with Prince Oak, step-brother to Jude Duarte, the main character of The Cruel Prince. Holly Black’s Young Adult fantasy The Stolen Heir takes us back to the isles of Elfhame, although it has very little to do with The Cruel Prince trilogy. This post contains spoilers for “The Cruel Prince” Series.
