Week 29 Review: The Hedgewitch of Foxhall

From Goodreads:

In this gorgeous stand-alone fantasy romance perfect for fans of Margaret Rogerson and Allison Saft, a rebellious witch undertakes a last-ditch quest to restore magic to medieval Wales—as two princes vie for her heart.

Ffion is the last hedgewitch in Foxhall. To work her magic, she takes only what nature can spare, unlike the witches of the powerful Foxhall coven, who sacrifice whole forests to fuel their spells. But across the warring kingdoms of Wales, all magic is fading. Even the dragons have vanished.

Prince Taliesin would love nothing more than to watch magic die. But when his father charges Tal and his brother, Dafydd, with destroying King Offa's dyke—the massive earthen wall raised by their Mercian enemies to the east, which may be the cause of magic's disappearance—he begrudgingly seeks aid from a witch.

Because whichever prince succeeds in destroying the dyke will win the throne, and Tal is willing to do whatever it takes to become king. Even if the Foxhall coven refuses to help him. Even if he's forced to team up with a spitfire hedgewitch who hates him almost as much as he hates her magic. And even if Dafydd proves to be a worthier rival than he anticipated…for the crown, and for Ffion's heart.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I've really enjoyed Anna Bright's books, and this latest one sounded really great, I loved the idea of this hedgewitch dealing with these princes! It was such a delight to read! 

This world was really interesting to read! The synopsis sounded really good, and the magic and these characters came together for a really great story! I loved learning more, and following them along on this adventure! 

Watching the interactions of Ffion and Taliesin was really interesting, because she's a witch who uses magic with care, and he doesn't care for it. Adding on top of that becoming the next ruler is the stakes and he's competing with his brother, and that this task might help save magic, and that we got all three of their perspectives was really interesting! 

I was honestly unsure of who I wanted Ffion to end up with. What her dad did, yeah, that wasn't great. But this love triangle was really well done, and she could've been happy with either of them, but in the end, I satisfied with her choice, and so glad that I read this book! 

It was so great to read this book and I can't wait to read more by Anna Bright!
