A review by mk_loisirs
The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley & Orbit for the E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I am going to be honest, I was excited by the premise of this book but was hesitant because I felt lukewarm about Hannah Whitten’s other novels (For the Wolf…) but I was HAPPILY wrong with my hesitation.
This book was f*cking fantastic. The pacing was perfect. The characters were all so interesting. The magic system is unique and super cool. The TENSION, my goodness. I also really enjoyed the very visceral prose.
I can’t believe I am going to have to wait for a sequel - let alone for this to be published.
I cannot wait to see where this story goes…and although Bastian is really fun…I’m rooting for the Mort.
If you like atmospheric dark fantasy with political machinations, horror elements, a mystery and love triangles, you’ll love this book. I most certainly did.
