This is the second part of an intriguing and entertaining duology: a dark fantasy featuring a group of girls who discover their potential, love, and who they are.
The book starts just after The Grimrose Girls and it's a well plotted story. I loved how the author developed the characters and world building.
The story is well plotted and it kept me hooked.

okay so the best way I can describe how I felt about this book is ‘indifference’. like I did enjoy the book here and there, but I just was not enthralled. I really had not interest or emotional attacthment to the characters and legit would feel indifferent when a significant thing happened to one of them. Like I really like the plot of the book and I think it had so much potential, I just think it was lacking in some ways that just made me feel meh about this book.

I liked this more than the first book as many answers start to come together. This is a very unique take on fairy tales and bringing them all into the real world. Having this from multiple POVs I think allows any reader to find a character they would identify with and get a “lesson” or find a happy ending that isn’t what you would normally envision as a happy ending.
I think the conclusion dragged a little bit and the explanation of the curse could have been more clear. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves fairy tales or any YA readers that don’t want a book focusing on the romance but that’s about 15% romance(which does add to the plot).

Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
The Wicked Remain, the second installment in the Grimrose Girls series was just as thrilling and enjoyable as the first. I loved the mix of fairy tale retelling, romance, and mystery. The setting is uniquely and I loved reading about it.I do admit, The Wicked Remain was more romance than the first book, but it helped give the main girls something to fight for.

This was a great follow up to The Grimrose Girls. The weaving of the different fairytales was well done and the friendships and relationships between the girls was great to see. If you enjoyed the first book then you'll enjoy this one that ties up everything.
