blurple 's review for:

The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black
3.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

so basically i get what holly black was trying to do here and add a new dimension to the jude/cardan dynamic. the power/agency dynamics between oak and wren were interesting, but by the end i really didnt care whether or not they ended up together because it was obvious they would have a happy fairy tale ending. it fell short from the original FOTA trilogy in terms of plot tbh
