Should I read it? Should I not read it? I need some help here.

On one hand, I really want to read this book. I absolutely loved all parts of The Folk of the Air trilogy, the characters were amazing and well-written, the plot was well-developed, and well, everything was just amazing. I have no doubt that Holly Black will live up to this and make The Stolen Heir an enjoyable, amazingly well-written read with wonderful characters. After I finished The Queen of Nothing, I was so hyped to find out that The Stolen Heir was going to be released, because I wanted to read more set in the world of The Folk of the Air.

However. Now, as I actually have a chance to read The Stolen Heir, I worry I'll find myself disappointed by it. The original trilogy was so incredible, I worry that I won't think The Stolen Heir lives up to it, and be extremely disappointed. In addition, I'm also worried it will "ruin" (not actually, but just not depict them as wonderfully as they were previously) certain characters, such as Jude and Cardan. I don't want to find myself disappointed by the book, or by the characters. In my opinion, it would ruin my view of the world of The Folk of the Air as this amazing series and place.

I'm really torn between these two options. On one hand, I want to read The Stolen Heir because The Folk of the Air trilogy was so amazing, and I want to read more by Holly Black. On the other hand, I'm worried The Stolen Heir will disappoint me and "ruin" my favorite characters.

What do you think I should do?

I am a HUUUUUGE fan of Holly Black, i looooove Spiderwick and Folk of the Air.

I hope i can help add to the wiki!

It can also be deleted if a thread is unnecessary to begin with—e.g. if it is a duplicate and there is an ongoing, more active discussion going on about it, if a topic is repetitive and is constantly started, or if the answer is in a pretty obvious place on the wiki such as the page of the topic in question (the question will not simply be ignored; the user will be notified of the reason and given an answer by the admin who deleted it).
