The Hunt is over but the War has just begun.
Against all odds, Janneke has survived the Hunt for the Stag–but all good things come with a cost. Lydian might be dead, but he took the Stag with him. Janneke now holds the mantle, while Soren, now her equal in every way, has become the new Erlking. Janneke’s powers as the new Stag has brought along haunting visions of a world thrown into chaos and the ghost of Lydian taunts her with the riddles he spoke of when he was alive.
When Janneke discovers the truth of Lydian and his madness, she’s forced to see her tormentor in a different light for the first time. The world they know is dying and Lydian may have been the only person with the key to saving it.
Oh, finally, a sequel to White Stag! Okay, I feel like it’s been forever since the first book came out but it’s been less than two years. So much has happened in that time it feels like five years ago. Anyway. l really did NOT like the first book to this series. So why am I here talking about the sequel? Well, I’m curious. I want to read this one. Is it going to redeem the first book for me? It’s possible! Look, I am a contrary reader lolol. I really am curious about this sequel! Goblin King is expected November 3rd, 2020 from Wednesday Books.
Way Too Fantasy 
I haven’t read the first book but I’m curious too. I know how you feel, sometimes you just need to know what happens, even if you didn’t like the first book much😁
Oh, I had a lot of problems with the first book, but I’m super curious! It’s also been a while (almost two years) since the first one came out so I’m wondering if there were some revisions or something because usually it seems about a year between releases (in most cases). So doubly curious!
Sometimes it takes that sequel to win you over. I can think of a few series where I was very ‘meh’ on the first book, but a raving fan by the end of the trilogy. Hopefully this pays off!
Yeah, for sure! There are a lot of book series I ended up loving where the first books didn’t work for me that much. We’ll see!
ooh, i hope this sequel FAR surpasses the first for you!! i still need to read white stag lol!
Thanks, I hope it does too! 😀
Hope if you check out White Stag then you have a more favorable experience than I. 😉
I had mixed feelings about White Stag, but how exciting to see that it has a sequel! I thought it was going to be a standalone. Hope you’ll enjoy 😀
Yeah, I’m hoping that it’s a good sign that some time has passed between books? Thanks! I hope I do too. 🙂
I wasn’t madly in love with White Stag either and I hadn’t realised there would be a follow up – might have to pick this one up to see how it fairs.
Lynn 😀
Yeah, I’m really curious as to how it compares to the first one.
