A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis

4.0

 

In this easily consumable fantasy tale of mistaken identity, filled with questions about who you can trust, Felix, Archduke of Estarion, seeks sanctuary at the castle of Queen Saskia, only to be mistaken for the dark wizard she seeks to organize her library. 

 

There’s an alliance between the three villain queens, secrets, and some traitors infiltrating the castle. 

 

Saskia is a strong female lead; Felix is a cinnamon roll; and I enjoyed the build of their slow burn romance. 

 

Amanda Leigh Cobb’s narration kept me engaged in the story, but a male narrator for Felix’s POV would have enhanced the storytelling for me. 

 

I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Macmillan Audio. All review opinions are my own.
