Description
In this companion novella to the New York Times bestselling novel The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, sometimes the only 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.

2By missusgrace95I wish I could unread it. Ugh T is so annoying and weak. Boring. Nothing like the first book.Grow up girl
2By mama bgI thought I didn't like Tyran before, but mannnn this just made it worse dude. At least Jude doesn't lie to herself that she's stronger than she is. At least she accepts her own fear and weakness.Check your life in at the figurative door
5By ShjiamWhat can I say about a story that draws you in until you are part of the story? Ms. Black is an impressive author.LOVED IT!!!
5By nikki.leannnejust what i needed to connect some dots in the first book!!! really makes you understand Taryn and the power of Elfhame!!! sooo good 10/10Still dislike Taryn but loved the extra info we got in this novella
5By emilyy12THANK U Holly Black - now I know what Cardan said to Taryn, lolInteresting Read
5By adina allenIt’s pretty good. It’s more of an apology letter than anything else. We aren’t the audience. Jude is. This is definitely an interesting read because we get too see exactly how Taryn thinks and how she feels about Jude.Pretty enjoyable!
4By sjdidijfI thought that this was really nice to read after “The Cruel Prince” and before “The Wicked King”! It really helped me to get a better understanding of Taryns character. Although it was short, so there was not a huge plot, it was interesting! I would strongly suggest it if you want to get into the Folk of the Air trilogy!Highly recommend reading
5By Emi MossThis was better than I thought! It helped me look at the first book with a different perspective! I feel like I understand Taryn better now, I finally understand why she did what she did and why. I finally understand Locke and who he is. I understand why Taryn kept her distance from Jude and vice Versa. This book is kind of like adding an extra cherry to a sundae. It adds a new and different perspective. I’m looking forward to reading the second book with the knowledge from the first book and this one😁😁Taryn Taryn Taryn. WHY
5By acalderon829I love this series so much that I binge read everything during spring break. I love we get to see things from Taryn’s perspective and understand why she did what she did. But my god woman do you get on my nerves. Wonderful short little story on Taryn, but I still can’t accept what she’s done (even by the end of the third book) 💛🖤Oh Taryn.
5By Ms_BodoqueHaving just started the series, I really appreciated getting the chance to read this novella. I’m not sure how well I’ll like Taryn by the end of the series, but this was good insight into her role/decision-making. Onwards to book 2 :]Short story
2By Cyndi RichmanThe story is from Taryns point of view, which still doesn’t change how I see her . The story ends abruptly just as you get in to it.Understanding Taryn
3By larimoura2003In this story we can have a better understanding of Taryn and why she did what she did. It is a good story and I kind of understand her side. That doesn’t mean a like her better.It’s what I expected
4By ronniee_bI expected that reading Taryn’s side of the story wouldn’t change how I felt about her character...still don’t like her. She’s weak.Quick read
3By Yvette Br.Very quick read. I didn’t really learn anything new and I still think Taryn is selfish and a bad sister. She’s obsessed with the idea of love and finding her place. I’m honestly not sure what she sees in Locke or why she wants him. Overall this was very well written and kept my interest.Too Short!!
2By reviewer739This book was good, but had no twists and she explained everything already in the other book! Also it ended so quickly and had no detail of he and Lock’s actual relationship.Not sure it was worth the cost
3By Curly’s RamblingsThe Lost Sisters provides Terayn’s side of events. The story was interesting and somewhat entertaining but it really didn’t progress the series arch. The story does however show Terayn’s selfishness and greed. It will be interesting to see if & how the marriage between her and Locke goes.Made me dislike Taryn even more
5By gigiromanticThis novella told from Taryn’s perspective gave quite a bit of insight into parts of the story that was missing from the first book. I felt some things made a lot more sense and became less cryptic especially where Locke was concerned. Also the short stories at the beginning were amusing. The only thing is that I like Taryn even less now. Queen Jude foevea❤️
