A review by thepatrynreader
The Hedgewitch Queen by Lilith Saintcrow

3.0

I've read this book twice in less than a week.

I really enjoyed the French feel of this novel, and thoroughly appreciated the mysterious Tristan d'Arcenne. I found Vianne's character a little whinny, and terribly insecure, yet I found her truly endearing most of the time. The characters and plot are well developed, for the most part, and Saintcrow does a good job building tension between characters and suspenseful plot. Saintcrow can be a little vague in her descriptions, leaving a little too much up to the reader's imagination, but my interest in Vianne and Tristan overcame that.

I read The Hedgewitch Queen and The Bandit King (it's follower), and then re-read The Hedgewitch Queen, all back to back. I did this to get a better clarity of all the characters and their motivations. I have to say, some things in this series, this novel in particular, annoy me; regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, both times.
