Thank you to Orbit Books, Orbit and Netgalley for a ARC of the FoxGlove King by Hannah Whitten

I Love Hannah Whitten. She writes in a way that is accessible and engaging for the reader. using this unique modern writing style allowing us readers to seamlessly slip into the narrative. The Wilder Wood was one of my favorite duologies. so when I got the ARC for The Foxglove King the first book in her new series The Nightshade Kingdom I couldn’t contain myself and I immediately read it. It did not disappoint. Hannah has grown as a storyteller taking the tropes I grew up with as a teenager in the early 00’s and building them into something truly enjoyable for an adult audience. It’s perfection itself. That ending though has me wishing I could turn forward to the clock for the next book!
