The Lost Sisters

De: Holly Black

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

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 Taryn has some secrets of her own to reveal.

The Lost Sisters is a companion novella-length audiobook to the New York Times best-selling novel The Cruel Prince by master writer Holly Black.

A Bunch of Excuses!

I've never liked Taryn and now I really don't like her. This whole apology to Jude just sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Taryn had a choice and she chose to do things that would hurt her sister- her twin- in so many ways. I still enjoyed getting the other side of the story, but Taryn just made me mad.

Ugh

While this was interesting to hear her side. She kind of pisses me off. I want to hear Cardans side SO MUCH MORE. Or Madoc.

Taryn's side of The Cruel Prince

So neat to get inside her head. Adds interesting depth to the story. I love how it is a letter to Jude.

understanding Taryn

Finally! This book helps me understand why a twin sister would make the decisions she did. In the 1st book The Cruel Prince I dont even know how to explain with out giving it all away. But I often felt like... Taryn are you being mean or are you really just stupid? That's all I can say. If you're intrested in Taryn's thought process as to why she made the decisions she did in book one. enjoy

intense

still annoyed by the weird emotions these two have but alright lol. the book was well written and the reader was great

I appreciated this point of view

Okay so, after reading the cruel prince I didn’t like Taryn, and also didn’t get her actions toward Jude. NOW AFTER THIS, I REALLY DONT LIKE HER. Jeez she’s very immature, selfish, and petty. I’m glad I read this piece of the series and that the author wrote it because I find that it will give a deeper understanding of characters for the rest of the series. Boo Taryn I feel bad that she doesn’t understand what a healthy relationship is suppose to be like, but she’s kinda just a asshole :(

Nice little read

This gives nice insight into the mind of Taryn. I liked hearing things from her perspective.

Taryn is a terrible sister but a great character

I liked it on first listen but this definitely is a great listen after the stolen heir. I would recommend reading this after the trilogy for a better perspective on certain characteristics

be bold.

“Fairy tales are full of girls who wait, who endure, who suffer. Good girls. Obedient girls. Girls who crush nettles until their hands bleed. Girls who haul water for witches. Girls who wander through deserts or sleep in ashes or make homes for transformed brothers in the woods. Girls without hands, without eyes, without the power of speech, without any power at all. But then a prince rides up and sees the girl and finds her beautiful. Beautiful, not despite her suffering, but because of it.”

I don't know how Holly Black does it, but I am eternally grateful that she does.

The perfect novella into the mysterious and often frustrating mind of Jude's twin sister, Taryn. Half apology, half explanation, all because of miscommunication. I loved this window into a different side of the story, one that I had been curious and angry about. Taryn is a tragic character, just like Jude. (But, I'm still on Jude's side, through and through.)

Bravo, Holly

Nice little hold over

This was a decent hold over story but Taryn is the worst. She is selfish, hateful and her sense of entitlement to being understood and justifying her actions is baffling. She fits into their world way better than Jude. And even though she didn’t say so. I’m sure she knew what would happen with the fairy fruit and that’s really why she didn’t go that day.
