“Rosalind’s endless determination to find Orion again had me in a chokehold”
I have been waiting for the sequel to Lady Foul Fortune ever since the cliffhanger. It has had me on edge ever since, so thankfully enough, I was able to read Foul Heart Huntsman early. And I have so much to say.
Before I talk all about my feelings regarding Foul Heart Huntsman, I will warn anyone who doesn’t want any spoilers to avoid reading this review. I won’t spoil too much, but I might say something that would catch you by surprise. Full warning: there are a few spoilers, so avoid it if you don’t want to read any spoilers.
Now, let’s talk about the Foul Heart Huntsman. There is so much to say, but I won’t go into full details because I don’t want to spoil the finale to the duology. But there are a few things that I want to express.
Rosalind's endless determination to find Orion again had me in a chokehold. She is literally the definition of searching the ends of the earth in order to find your loved one. And I fully support her. Orion is her name. She is willing to do everything to get him back, no matter what. That’s what kept me going as I read through Foul Heart Huntsman.
While I fully support Rosalind’s determination, I felt highly annoyed with Orion's sister, aka the priest, Phoebe. She is literally annoying. I am sorry, but I can’t stand her. She acts so childish for her age. I don’t understand at all. Like why? Literally why? I dread reading her chapters.
Even though I am annoyed with Orion's sister, Phoebe, I truly enjoy Rosalind's sister, Celia. She was always my favorite character in the These Violent Delights series. So, it’s a bit expected that I will enjoy her in this sequel. She steps up her game. I won’t say what, but she did.
On the subject of Celia, I am loving that we are getting a love story in this book. There was a potential storyline that wasn’t fully explored until now. And I was screaming my lungs out whenever it was Celia chapters because we were getting her love story no matter how dangerous her mission is.
You know what I need from the Foul Heart Huntsman finale? Alisa is getting her chance. She is literally the definition of a girl boss in a secret operation. I need her to have her own book. I know you hear me, Chloe Gong. I need Alisa to have her own book asap, please and thank you.
With all of these feelings, I can say that I enjoyed reading The Foul Heart Huntsman. It was a thrilling finale to the duology. And it nicely wrapped everything up between Rosalind and Orion, even though it was kind of touch-and-go.
