The Hemlock Queen by Hannah Whitten
4.0
Listen, I had a good time with this. It’s spooky, it’s got an A+ cult leader villain, and I desperately want the love triangle to become a throuple.
This definitely had a little bit of middle book syndrome. Pacing struggled in the middle here—this could have been 75-100 pages shorter, if I’m honest. I also think that the trickle worldbuilding generally works but I’d like a bit more. The elemental gods, for example, felt very shoehorned in to the whole thing.
But ultimately I enjoyed reading it and will eagerly pick up book 3. (begging… BEGGING the author to have this end in a throuple).
