| The Folk of the Air Book 1.5 |
Sometimes the difference between a love story and a horror story is where the ending comes . . .
While Jude fought for power in the Court of Elfhame against the cruel Prince Cardan, her sister Taryn began to fall in love with the trickster, Locke.
Half-apology and half-explanation, it turns out that Taryn has some secrets of her own to reveal.
The Lost Sisters is a companion e-novella to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince by master writer Holly Black.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
This short novella in the Folk of the Air series gives us an insight of Taryn. We finally get to see what was going through her head and how she fell in love with Locke. Everything makes a lot more sense now after reading Taryn's point of view. We could see how she could fall for someone to horrible and all the decisions she made. This story is portrayed as her telling Jude her story. She is practicing what she would say, how to make Jude understand the bad decisions she made, and then by the end she is determined to stay on the course because honestly she believes in them. That even though she keeps apologizing, I don't think she would change her actions one bit. She is hoping that Jude will understand after she tells her story. And she is willing to practice it over and over until she herself believes it and that it will make the future better. I liked reading this story before The Wicked King comes out because I have a feeling we will still be questioning Taryn's choices but instead of thinking her so foolish, we will understand it better. But I will probably still think she is foolish. Hopefully she will prove me wrong, but it seems we have a long way to go until then.
