A review by thebalancedbookshelf
The Hedgewitch of Foxhall by Anna Bright

4.0

This book definitely took me a while to get into. All of the Welsh names and places were very confusing for me. I feel like this book could have benefited from having a map since they mention a lot of different locations and kingdoms. I did appreciate the pronunciation guide though. Because of this I would say it took me to about 40% for me to get hooked. I finally got a lay of the story and was able to appreciate the story. I also think it really starts to pick up at that point and I found I couldn’t put the book down. I needed to know what was going to happen and how this would all play out. 

There were a lot of good twists that I didn’t see coming and I liked how the author was able to surprise you. I think all the characters had great chemistry and the romance was what really kept me interested at times. I love a good love triangle so that was definitely a highlight for me. I also found Ffions character to be so endearing. She’s headstrong but is working towards everyone goals even though hers also coincide. I loved how they talked about the different ways to preform magic and how Ffion used hers. 

There were a few things I didn’t love in the story but overall I think this was a good read and an interesting fantasy book. I am a fan of a standalone so I was happy with how everything wraps up in the end.
