The Hemlock Queen by Hannah Whitten
4.0
After reading The Foxglove King last year via NetGalley, I was so glad to receive an arc copy of book #2 also, The Hemlock Queen.
I thought TGK provided such a great set-up for a fantasy, a really strong world of politics and religion whilst establishing a clear set of characters. In THQ, I only found myself liking Lore more over the course of the story, as well as many of the other characters. The love triangle is also doing the most in this instalment! This series has such an interesting world and the fantastical elements that Whitten has created are so fascinating and finely tuned.
There isn't much I can say about a sequel without spoilers but wow, what a strong second book this has turned out to be. It was a good length for a fantasy, with great pacing and a nail-biting ending.
I am looking forward to the third and final book in this fantasy series.
4 stars
