The Hemlock Queen – Hannah F. Whitten

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

When I was reading The Foxglove King in February I was really enjoying myself and decided that I couldn’t wait for the sequel. So while I was reading, I requested The Hemlock Queen on Netgalley. I was excited that I was approved. The Hemlock Queen released on April 9th, and today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought!

Be aware, this is a sequel, I’ll try to keep my review spoiler free, but the synopsis could spoil a bit of book one. Also, a big thank you to Netgalley and Orbit for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t influence my opinion in any way.

Review| The Tainted Cup – Robert Jackson Bennett

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Even though I haven’t read and Sherlock Holmes books, I always find it interesting if books have characters that are a lot like Holmes and Watson. If you add a fantasy story with a mystery to the mix, I’m sold. That was the case with The Tainted Cup! I finally sat down and read this one, so I want to tell you about it and my thoughts. Keep on reading to find out more!

Review| Powerless – Lauren Roberts

Published on by The Book Dutchesses1 Comment

Powerless is a book that seemed to take the bookish community by storm. This book sounded right up my alley, so I was really excited to read it. I think it took me a bit longer, because reading hyped books is always a bit tricky, because sometimes you go in with higher expectations without realizing it. I did finally sit down and read Powerless and want to tell you about the book and my thoughts today, so keep on reading!

A big thanks to Simon & Schuster’s Children Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC to read and reviews. This doesn’t influence my opinion in any way.

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

At the beginning of the year I said that I wanted to read more fantasy again and I’m doing good with that goal. Faebound was one of the 2024 fantasy releases I was really excited about and I finally finished reading it (I get way too distracted by books, haha). So keep on reading to find out more about the book and my thoughts!

A big thank you to Netgalley and Harper Voyager for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This does not affect my opinion in any way.

Review| Belladonna – Adalyn Grace

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

Belladonna is a book that has received a lot of hype since releasing in 2022. I even grabbed an eARC of this book when it was read now on Netgalley. When a book is really hyped, I tend to be careful, because I’m afraid the hype is going to get my expectations too high. That wasn’t the case with this book and I’m mad a myself for taking so long to read it. So I finally did and want to talk about it, so keep on reading for more!

A big thank you to Netgalley and Little Brown for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This didn’t influence my opinion in any way.

When I heard about The Hurricane Wars and requested it on Netgalley, I honestly didn’t even know what it was about. All I knew was that it was a romantasy and that the cover was stunning. I’m glad I did though, because I ended up loving this book. Keep on reading for my full review.
