About this listen
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.

Story
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

It should have been a case like any other: a missing princess, a king willing to pay in gold for her return. But before he realizes it, private investigator Eddie LaCrosse, a slightly shopworn sword jockey with a talent for discretion and detection, is swept up in a web of mystery and deceit involving a brutally murdered royal heir, a queen accused of an unspeakable crime, and the tragic past he thought he'd left behind.

And then everything changes with a single drop of Aurora's blood, a Faerie Queen who is preparing for war, a strange and enchanting dream realm - and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken.

Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t. I go to a new school now - one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age. You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years - except for when to take my powers and butt out. Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core.

Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her 17th birthday, she abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, disarm him, and break the 900-year-old curse he put on her people. But Ignifex is not what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle - a shifting maze of magical rooms - enthralls her.

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.

It was definitely in sync with The Cruel Prince. It was actually quite nice to hear Taryn's side of the story and why. Your typical sibling differences and rivalries. The audio version was amazing!

Taeryn's Perspective
This was okay to listen to while waiting but I don't think it was necessary to read the next book. However it does have a few details more, it basically is Taeryn's perspective from book 1. if you care to find out more details I would recommend this, these details are anything from the girl's lives before being taken to meeting other fairies etc. not too important but nice to know.

Interesting enough, even if the value is arguable
If you can get it under 5 dollars it could be worth it I guess. It is an interesting enough concept to be able to see some behind the scenes perspective on the unravelling situations and be provided some character motivations that may be hard to decipher somewhat for the average reader. I wish that same perspective had stretched out to reflect the entirety of the first book, rather than the first 2/3 or so, as it would have made for an exceedingly gratifying read. Considering the book is is around the 10 % of the length of an average book on the site, being around half the price of a credit is asking a bit much, so do wait around for a sale on this one (especially since, as I mentioned, those 10 % of a book leave a significant bit to be desired).

I still hate her lol
So the Novella is from Teyrn’s perspective she’s basically explaining how everything unfolded with Lock from the 1st book. I was hoping her story would make me sympathetic to her but I still just think she’s selfish and weak lol

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.
