🐉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.

It's gloomy outside but I came home to some great #bookmail Thank you so much to @orbitbooks_us for this ARC of one of my most anticipated reads of 2023! I love @hwhittenwrites and this one sounds absolutely AMAZING! 👑Synopsis: 👑 “When Lore was thirteen, she escaped a cult in the catacombs beneath the city of Dellaire. And in the ten years since, she’s lived by one rule: don’t let them find you.That has been easier said than done, especially when her magic ties her to the city. Mortem, the magic born from death, is a high-priced and illicit commodity in Dellaire, and Lore’s job running poisons keeps her in food, shelter, and relative security. But when a run goes wrong and Lore’s power is revealed, she’s taken by the Presque Mort, a group of warrior-monks sanctioned to use Mortem working for the Sainted King. Lore fully expects a pyre, but King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what’s happening and who in the King’s court is responsible, or die. Lore is thrust into the Sainted King’s glittering court, where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted. Guarded by Gabriel, a duke-turned-monk, and continually running up against Bastian, August’s ne'er-do-well heir, Lore tangles in politics, religion, and forbidden romance as she attempts to navigate a debauched and opulent society. But the life she left behind in the catacombs is catching up with her. And even as Lore makes her way through the Sainted court above, they might be drawing closer than she thinks.” . . . #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookaesthetic #cozyvibes #bookishaesthetic #prettybooks #romantasy #thefoxgloveking #advancedreaderscopy #ARC #bookishfeatures #homedecor #booklove #bookworm #booklover #booknerdigans #booksofinstagram #mybookishfeatures #booksandcoffee #booksandflowers #bookgram #bookgeek #bookphotography #bibliophile #hannahwhitten #fantasybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZRlk9AcUB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten - ARC Review!

Today on my blog I have a review for #TheFoxgloveKing by Hannah Whitten! A sumptuous story filled with politics & scheming, magic & romance, as well as Whitten's trademark tortured characters! #BookReview

Easier said than done, when her death magic ties her to the city.
