.hwhittenwrites's latest series opener TheFoxgloveKing is one of the best fantasy releases you'll read this year. LacyMB reviews:
The Foxglove Kinge x c e l l e n tFeaturing a complex and refreshingly unique system of magic based on the powers of literal life and death as well as incredibly detailed political history and religious hierarchies, this book has the sort of rich, fully-lived-in worldbuilding that makes you wonder why it isn’t already a very expensive Netflix show.
The story follows Lore, a young woman who doesn’t remember much about the first 13 years of her life, just that she has a preternatural ability to navigate the catacombs that sprawl underneath the city, and she was born able to channel Mortem, a skill she uses in the run cons and spy for her adoptive poison-smuggling mothers in Dellaire’s criminal underworld.
The answers that play out over the book’s pages and complex and thorny, weaving in everything from political loyalties and family history to religious fanaticism and moral philosophy. The world of Dellaire is decadent and richly imagined and the contrasts between the sumptuous setting of the city’s inner sanctum and the struggles of those outside its walls simply to survive are sharply drawn.
