Remembering that Oak has goat legs is almost as shocking to me as finding out that Holly Black confirmed that Valerian was sexually attracted to Jude.

i think it went over everyone’s head that lady asha wasn’t at the family dinner table in the prisoners throne prologue.

which isn’t surprising since she wasn’t a good parent to cardan, and doesn’t deserve to sit at the table. but it has me wondering what she’s been up to since TQON. has she been scheming? attempting to cause trouble at court? did cardan or jude kick her out? i hope she appears or gets mentioned in the prisoners throne.

hot take but the fandom is setting itself up for disappointment by eagerly awaiting stolen heir 2 just for jurdan. yeah they’ll be in it but it’s not THEIR BOOK. if i see anyone complain that there weren’t enough jurdan scenes….

If Jude isn’t the villian that we all want to root for in The Prisoner’s Throne then why even write the book?

If Cardan isn’t the first one to find out that Oak has been captured and is frantically trying to find the best way to tell Jude that won’t result in a rage rampage in The Prisoner’s Throne then why even write the book?

If Oak doesn’t side-eye Jude and Cardan about how they haven’t produced an heir in ten whole years in The Prisoner’s Throne why even write the book?

If Cardan doesn’t tease Jude about all of the spots they’ve defiled their palace in The Prisoner’s Throne then why even write the book?

If-

no but madoc has such depth you don’t understand because THIS scene in TQON

and this scene from TPT

Holly Black has said that she doesn’t want to write Madoc’s and Eva’s story because it would be too tragic. I get why now. He loved her. He well and truly loved her, as much as he could, in the only way he knew.

One of the several things that’s been made clear in The Prisoner’s Throne is how, in spite of Jude’s distrust in Madoc’s love for her and her siblings, it’s clear to everyone else that he does love them. We know Cardan had known it even before he really knew Jude, he said as much in TPT when listing all the reasons he “hated” her. But so does Oak. A clear example of this is when Oak observes it himself:

But there’s also a subtler example. It took a random, vulnerable mortal girl wondering about to make Madoc think about Eva. Because Jude and Taryn don’t. He thinks of them as his daughters, first, sharing his likeness and his hearth and cared for and raised and trained by him, and mortals, second. Sure, there’s an argument to be raised here in that if he loved them how could he be impervious to their perils, but he’s a Faerie, and a Redcap at that. Besides, he does know his children. He never doubted in Jude’s ability, only asking her to delay her quest for knighthood and not cancel it, insinuating that she would be in his war council. He knew Taryn was unsuited for Locke, knew she killed him, knew she would stand by her choice anyway. He knew of Oak’s bloodthirst and ploys; knew of Vivi’s preference for the mortal realm.

The character of Madoc is just so… Well done. I think he might be my favorite after Jurdan… and maybe Wren, despite her treatment in TPT.

The amount of times Cardan’s pointy boots were mentioned in The Prisoner’s Throne is absurd

Oak, a faerie who physically cannot lie: “I was in love w you when we were children”

Suren, also a faerie who knows this: “you’re literally lying”
