Review
Prisoners
Throne is a brilliant work of dark fantasy. Everything about this book was
great: the characters, the story, the setting, even the dialogue is standout.
In this
novel, after Oak's betrayal in the last book, Oak finds himself imprisoned by
Queen Suren. Oak has to figure out how to rectify the situation and stop a war
between ElfHame and the Court of Teeth.
I loved
everything about this book, the banter was witty and funny. The main characters
and supporting cast are memorable and affable, in particular, I found Wren's
struggles and longing to be loved made her very empathetic. The cameos with
Jude and Cardan are well-written, true to their characters, and bring back
everything I loved about them in the Cruel Prince Trilogy. There's not a thing
about this book I would change.
If you
liked the Cruel Prince trilogy this duology is a must-read. Both books complement
each other and the two different perspectives really keep things interesting. I
loved getting a look into how Oak felt firsthand and seeing how Wren had grown
and changed from the first book in the duology through his eyes.
