To echo other people...what did I just read? I'm not sure I have the words for a full review. You'll just have to read it.
I really enjoyed The Duke Undone and can't wait to read more by Joanna Lowell! This book had me interested as soon as I opened the first page. From the moment Lucy first crosses paths with Anthony (and that was definitely a great way to introduce both characters) I couldn't wait to see what happened for her and get to know her better!
I loved Anthony...even though he trusted the wrong people. He knew not to but he still did and it created a lot of problems for him but in the end, with Lucy (or the thought of Lucy) pushing him he was able to see what was going on and what he needed to do to truly step into his role as Duke and take ownership of his decisions / actions.
I loved the secondary characters, Kate, Lucy's aunt, etc. and thought they all added to the story. There is a pretty obvious villain and despite that, I thought the story was well done. The characters are well developed, there are plenty of parts with the romancy bits included, and there's even a bit of a mystery around what happened to Anthony's sister.
Overall, I liked this one and will be definitely checking out more by Lowell in the future! Give this one a read if you are looking for a new historical romance to pick up. It's a standalone too...although I could definitely see the possibility of more stories with this cast of characters if the publisher chose to do so. I'm curious to learn more about Gwen's story for sure!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the review copy!

This was everything I was hoping for as a wrap up to this series! Fable was an amazing main character and her story evolved so much over the course of the two books...as did she! I loved how we got to learn more about the cast of characters around her (and her relationship to them). Of course, I will never say no to more of Fable and West.
If you haven't picked up this series, you definitely should fix that right now. I loved every second of these books and couldn't put them down. If you're looking for a YA Fantasy that will keep you turning the pages, this book / series should be next up on your list!
