I’d have liked to see that play out a little different.
It felt like the only reason they were “in love” at the end was because they were forced to through the bonding. They spent little time together getting to know one another, and they never really came to trust each other. I never really believed they had a true love connection. Their bonding meant they could sense the other’s emotions, and if one died the other was likely to die as well. Tristan had lived his entire life hiding his true intentions, and Cécile had been stolen away from everything she ever knew. I found Cécile to be rather impetuous and the way she and Tristan treated each other for much of the novel was frustrating, but I can’t say I blame either of them for acting the way they did. The secondary characters were wonderful, and I loved how nuanced they were. I really enjoyed the court politics and intrigues, and I loved getting to know the city. Stolen Songbird is a well-written, very engaging novel. But nothing is as it seems in Trollus, mostly especially not her new husband… Now she only has one goal in mind.to escape Trollus and free herself. She’s immediately bonded to the Troll Prince, Tristan.
