The Lost Sisters
by Holly Black
I actually really liked this novella. While I still don’t think I like Taryn any better, I do understand her a bit more. For me, Taryn’s story showed how, despite what she seems to think of herself, she is just a selfish as anyone else in Faerie. Just as Cardan said, she’s awful and yet she really believes otherwise. It was nice to see her finally stand up and take what she wanted in the end, but she was still naive about what that meant. I can’t fault her for any of that because she’s human and she just wants to be loved and accepted. That doesn’t mean I have to like her though lol.
The best piece of The Lost Sisters for me is how it was told. This is supposed to be an apology letter from Taryn to Jude and it reads like one. It’s amazing how Taryn feels so justified in her actions that even while she’s supposed to be apologizing, she’s still laying some of the blame at everyone else’s feet but her own.
I do wish that there was a bit more to the story. The sword fight between her and Jude, the assassination attempt, the end of The Cruel Prince in general. Still, I think I may have enjoyed this more than TCP itself. OOP!
