Reviews for The Stolen Heir: A Novel of Elfhame, The No 1 Sunday Times Bestseller 2023

Holly Black's new series brims with magic, beauty and danger ... a thrillingly twisty adventure. Black channels literature from A Midsummer Night's Dream to Christina Rossetti to create a gorgeous story of magic and betrayal. * Amanda Craig, The New Statesman * The two main characters are both strong and well-written, especially Suren, who makes a great female lead. * The Independent * this book was gripping and magical, full of mystery, intrigue and of course faeries! * The School Librarian * This is a deliciously rich novel ... There's a pleasurable interplay between the matter-of-fact human world and the dangerous but tempting possibilities of enchantment that the best of this genre is so good at revealing. * Open Graves Open Minds *
