bookclubbitches 's review for:

A Court of Hearts and Hunger by Rebecca F. Kenney
4.5
adventurous dark medium-paced

Book Two in the Wicked Darlings series did not disappoint! 

I really enjoyed Finn and Clara, revisiting them after their HEA and their adventure was so fun. At first I was put out that Louisa wasn't in this book much, but Alice was such a strong FMC that I quickly forgot to miss Louisa. Alice is a farm girl, stand in mother for her several siblings and has a zest for life. She was so inquisitive and delightful, and her hope to find good in everyone was charming. I thought the dynamics between Alice, the cat and the rabbit were FASCINATING and delicious. 

The Queen was really cool. I thought it was a really interesting spin on a classic tale. Retellings can be hard to pull off but Rebecca F Kenney CRUSHED this! Can't wait for book 3!!
