DID NOT LET ME DOWN.

You know when you’re waiting for your most anticipated 2023 release and that Netgalley approval finally comes through? THIS IS THAT BOOK FOR ME.

And I loved it. I loved it so much. I am constantly pulled in by Chloe Gong’s writing style and the way she tells a story. Captivated by this spy/agent thriller and all of the relationships in between.

LET ME TELL Y’ALL. The romances are subtle, they are not the main plot, but gosh dang it, I was absolutely smitten with ALL OF THEM (and there’s three so YAY). Every nuanced look or little touch, the glances and swoony confessions and kisses. I ate it all up. Surrounding the romances are such loyal and strong sibling and friendship bonds. I love that this has a found family vibe where everyone was looked after, old friends showed up, and past grievances were resolved.

The plot is entertaining and gasp inducing. I loooove that it’s a multi-POV set up and the flow from character to character. The betrayals and losses, the way my husband asked me if I was going to bed soon and I responded with, I’m at 85% and I don’t know who’s going to survive so NO I AM NOT. My emotions have been invoked, my love for this series is intense and I beg of y’all to give it a chance.

Overall audience notes:
- YA Historical Fiction + Fantasy
- Language: little
- Romance: kisses
- Violence: high
- Trigger/Content Warnings: loss of life, murder, gun violence, weapons and physical violence, bombings, war themes, torture, medical experimentation, amnesia

Thank you so much to SimonTeen and Netgalley for the ARC! I loved Chloe Gong's These Violent Delights duology, as well as Foul Lady Fortune, and was so excited to read Foul Hunt Huntsman. I loved seeing the cameos, as well as how the characters' storylines wrapped up. Absolutely delightful!

Oh, I just loved this book! The characters of the These Violent Delights/Foul Lady Fortune series mean so much to me, and I loved the way that their storylines wrapped up in this book.

Chloe gong is one of my favorite fantasy authors and I’d recommend every book Chloe’s ever read. They’re all Taylor Swift coded so if there’s any swifties (like me) who enjoys reading then you need to pick up this series!! Foul Heart Huntsman is a fast paced book and I loved reading about Rosalind again.

Will update my review once a kindle version is made available. However, this is a highly anticipated read in our library, and I'm sure our readers will be excited to read this!

EXCERPT: “The assassin by the name of Rosalind Lang strikes again in Foul Heart Huntsman, the second and final installment in the duology that began with Foul Lady Fortune. Foul Heart Huntsman might not be as truly epic as the finale of the former duology (These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends) in the same world, but it demonstrates Gong’s ability to formulate an idea and see it through in a conclusive, meaningful way. Gong’s consistent strengths – worldbuilding, character relationships, and dialogue — are clear and especially pronounced in this novel. Gong was already a strong writer, but she hits that home in a developed conclusion.”
