A review by alexangelas
The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
2.0
I really liked the premise of this going into it. Necromancy isn’t my thing (it’s just a tad too creepy to me), but I found the story interesting - a woman with a forbidden power (necromancy) is kidnapped to raise people from the dead so they can reveal who killed them only for other things to happen.
However, what I didn’t like is that all the characters were just okay. I didn’t care for them; they weren’t annoying, they just weren’t particularly amenable to me.
I also didn’t like that this book seems to set up a “why choose” trope, which isn’t my thing either.
Lastly, and probably most problematic was the pacing. It was SO slow at times and downright boring. A lot more work needs to go into the editing to make it read smoother.
I wouldn’t recommend this and I won’t be reading the follow up books in this series.
