Dare I say... anti second book syndrome?

Foxglove does not necessarily feel like a better book, but it definitely does not deteriorate the love and adoration I have for the Belladonna universe. I found myself enjoying the plot more than I normally do for a second book in a trilogy, but I did find it quite predictable. However, Adalyn Grace does a great job of keeping you entertained and interested in what's going to happen next despite pretty obvious foreshadowing. I found myself wondering how and when these big reveals and twists are going to come into play, and that is a great testament to how strong Adalyn is as a writer.

And oh boy, nothing can compare to the romance between Signa and Death. Their love feels like Anthony and Kate in season 3 of Bridgerton, and it always had me kicking my feet and blushing. The forced "love" triangle from our new antagonist does not subtract their yearning, and it's so beautiful. And I love seeing Adalyn set up the enemies-to-lovers romance we'll be seeing in the next book.

Thank god Wisteria comes out today because I'm so excited to start it next!
