The Prisoner's Throne

By: Holly Black

Narrated by: Barrett Leddy

Return to the opulent world of Elfhame, filled with intrigue, betrayal, and dangerous desires, with this second book of a captivating duology from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black!

An imprisoned prince. A vengeful queen. And a battle that will determine the future of Elfhame.

Prince Oak is paying for his betrayal. Imprisoned in the icy north and bound to the will of a monstrous new queen, he must rely on charm and calculation to survive. With High King Cardan and High Queen Jude willing to use any means necessary to retrieve their stolen heir, Oak will have to decide whether to attempt regaining the trust of the girl he’s always loved or to remain loyal to Elfhame and hand over the means to end her reign—even if it means ending Wren, too.

With a new war looming on the horizon and treachery lurking in every corner, neither Oak’s guile nor his wit will be enough to keep everyone he loves alive. It’s just a question of whom he will doom. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black comes the stunning blood-soaked conclusion to the Stolen Heir duology.

An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller! An Instant #1 Indie Bestseller!

A good ending to the series

I didn’t like how the narrator went about it, it made it seem almost childlike. I might have loved it more if I read instead of listening. Overall the book was good, and a nice ending to the series

Good - but mistakes

I’m only on Chapter 3 but it appears there were already two errors in the reading performance. “Im-placeable” was said when the word “implacable” would’ve made sense in context and “ MINute” as in a measure of time was read when it should’ve been “minUTE” as in tiny in context with the sentence. It’s surprising these errors weren’t caught and corrected and I expect I’ll hear more as the book continues.

A decent ending to the duology

Oak is still not my favorite point of view character from Holly Black, but it’s still a good read.

I like how the characters where depicted.

The story overall was great. There was somethings about the story that a little confusing and also not enjoyable, but it was just small things. I love the characters and how it was a continuation of the Stolen Heir

Well written & Cruel Prince LOVERS will die!

I love that the second book in the duology is Oak POV and the first being Ren's. it's just goes so well and now I want to relisten to Cruel prince trilogy!
Holly Black never disappoints in her whimsical but also dark fantasies!!!
