For the Throne is the outstanding sequel to For the Wolf! I really enjoyed For the Wolf, but I have to say that For the Throne somehow got a tighter grip on my heart! Neve and Solmir are two morally gray characters who have made questionable decisions in the past. When they are unexpectedly bound together, they go on an epic journey for redemption to save the world as they know it. Yet in the worlds of the Wilderwood and the Shadowlands, magic always comes with a price. Neve and Solmir’s romance and quest is a twisted, dark journey with echoes of Hades and Persephone. Needless to say, I loved it! It was wonderful to see Red, Eammon, and the supporting cast again as well. 

Hannah Whitten’s writing is lyrical and mesmerizing. Every sentence is filled with vivid descriptions that bring the scenes to life. For the Throne tackles redemption, what it means to be a monster, lovable villains, and the bond of sisterhood. Each careful detail of the book is stunning, from Solmir giving Neve his jacket to only calling her Neve when she is truly in danger. Deeply flawed though he may be, Solmir’s protective instincts and mysterious secrets make him serious book boyfriend material. And Neve is equally swoonworthy - always choosing to search for a way back to her sister and take on darkness so she can find the light. 

For the Throne is a beautiful conclusion to the Wilderwood series, though I hope we see this world and characters again someday! I already can’t wait to reread it. Readers who enjoy epic sequels, great world-building, twisted magic, and spellbinding romance will love For the Throne!
