🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 🎉Happy book birthday to Hannah Whitten and The Foxglove King! The Foxglove King is full of mythology and court intrigue. Caught in the middle are the three main characters - Lore, Gabriel, and Bastian. Lore grew up working for her mothers as a poison runner and spy. Gabriel is a member of the Presque Mort, an elite cadre of monks protecting the kingdom. Bastian is the Sun Prince, a charming rogue set to inherit the throne. None of them can fully trust the others as they work together to uncover the King’s plans and stay alive. While not a fan of love triangles, I did like the three main characters and all their smoldering desire. I enjoyed how they were caught up in the power plays of church and state. They knew they were being used as pawns, but fought against their manipulation. All this maneuvering is set against a dark world with catacombs, necromancy, mysterious deaths, and a burried goddess leaking deadly “Mortem.” This is the first book in a new series, but the plot lines wrap-up enough at the end to give the reader some satisfaction. I am curious about how the relationships will play out in the next book. I expect there will be more secret maneuvering and a greater focus on the theme of destiny vs. free will. I also hope the world building expands. The threat of war is ever present in The Foxglove King, so perhaps we will learn more about the neighboring kingdom, its rulers and mythology. I’m definitely on board to continue reading this series, and eager to see how the story plays out.

Indie Bookstore Day haul. After going to NYC a couple weeks ago, the last thing I needed (the last thing I ever need in truth) was more books. It was indie bookstore day and I’d been looking forward to it and to reading these three books for awhile. Can’t wait to dive in. Maybe one or two will come with me to Maine next week. Thanks to @thebookloftberkshires for getting the ones you didn’t have in so promptly #indiebookstoreday #thebookloft #massachusetts #hannahwhitten #jennifersaint #junehur #fantasy #mythology #retellings #greekmythology (at Monterey, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWSSVtOVTP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This book. Wow. @hwhittenwrites drew me in to the Wilderwood and held me there. I didn’t fight it either. From world building to bonds I wanted to consume all this book had and then some. I can not wait for For the Throne. Thank you so much for putting this into the universe. #forthewolf #books #picoftheday #potd #hannahwhitten (at McKinney, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5jrCjJRBB/?utm_medium=tumblr

FOR THE WOLF is the first book in the Wilderwood Duology. A wonderfully written debut by author Hannah Whitten that spins classic fairytale tropes. A fairytale with dark and twisted atmosphere. It was quite an average read. (3.5/5⭐) However, I'm definitely going to read the 2nd book just out of sheer curiosity. .
