Merged Review of the first and second book because I read them together:

I am having such a gala time exploring these new magic systems. Well, new to me, at least. I've never read a book about necromancy before. Like, necromancy!!! It was spooky, atmospheric, and had such intrigue with cliffhanger endings. I devoured it.

The Foxglove King had me in its grip from the beginning. It's a story about destiny and chosen ones in the scheme of religious fervor. The ending left me wanting more, and I dove right into The Hemlock Queen, and it became even more interesting. I needed answers!!!

I found Lore refreshing. She's strong, confident, and can stand up for herself. Bastian reminded me of Dorian Havilliard and Gabe? Well, he's complicated. I can't wait to see how their story evolves in the next book.

Here are my reasons why you should read this series:

♡ You like gothic vibes.
♡ You like unique magic systems.
♡ You like court intrigue.
♡ You like divine forces' intervention (not in a good way).
♡ You like forbidden romance.
♡ You like secrets and betrayals.
