There's always a little hesitation when you start the second book in a series: Will it measure up? Will it be different enough, yet carry the spirit of the first novel? Etc...

Foxglove is perfection. I don't even know where to start. Blythe's perspective was such a crisp, wonderful addition. I adored the expansion on existing characters and the introduction of new faces. It still has all the Gothic treats: nightgowns and manors and intrigue. And the narration is just so beautiful. This is a series I know I'll return to again and again.

Thank you, Ms. Grace.

What an unexpected treat! I'm such a sucker for anything Gothic, and death personified? Count me in! I knew I'd enjoy it, but I was not expecting such incredible narration. Can't wait for the next one.

A brilliant, horrifying celebration of fairy tales

I have read countless retellings in the last few years. Many have been fun. A few have been exquisite. None have captured the essence of the horror and magic of fairy tales like this one. Children aren't safe. Parents aren't good. Siblings are not to be trusted. There is a laundry list of CWs that accompany this work, as there should be. However, I found the story to be ultimately incredibly empowering and worth the hard parts, even with the shadow of my own trauma lurking in the background. Readers should approach with caution. Absolutely brilliant work.

This book was such a great surprise. I grabbed it on a whim because of the cover and sample, and I was not disappointed.

The premise was so fun and creative. Really fresh, and yet it hit all the expectations of the genre. Clean, crisp writing. Interesting characters (loved Amber and Chill so much). All in all, a super satisfying read. On to book 2.
