Book Review: The Hemlock Queen by Hannah F. Whitten
Format: ebookPublished: April 9th, 2024Age: AdultGenre: Fantasy Rating: 5/5 Stars I loved this. I think sometimes a second book can not-quite-hit in a series. There’s a lot it has to do – continuing the story from the previous book, introducing new elements to keep it a little fresh, raise the stakes and keep you hookedContinueContinue reading “Book Review: The Hemlock Queen by Hannah F.

Book Review: To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang
Format: HardbackPublished: April 16th, 2024Age: Young AdultGenre: Fantasy Rating: 5/5 Stars Indulge me for just a moment – I ended up reading this book at the same time I was reading Hannah Whitten’s The Hemlock Queen.
