User reviews
When I started reading this I was a little disappointed and felt like the book was going to be a 3 star. Death was barely in it (boo) and Signa was pretty useless.
Things, thankfully, did get better.
When the “love triangle” and “reincarnated wife trope” came into play, I hated it. And if
The introduction of Fate as the third angle in a Death and Signa love triangle is a clever plot
Fate's insertion into Signa's story has additional consequences for the other characters, particularly Signa's cousin Blythe. It is so much fun discovering how similar the girls are in feistiness, determination, and cleverness. Blythe is a character I grew to love as I learned more about her. Given the ending of FOXGLOVE, I am particularly eager to see how Blythe's story proceeds in the finale. I have a feeling it is going to be a blast.
FOXGLOVE hits all the right notes for me. There are great characters that continue to develop. The pacing has the perfect balance between action, reflection, and description. Its mystery kept me guessing, and the story's conclusion was satisfying while making me eager to read more. Plus, it is romantic without annoying plot devices like miscommunication to create unnecessary drama. FOXGLOVE is an excellent example of why I can't seem to quit the YA fantasy romance genre. The genre is just too strong and enjoyable to ignore!
