I received Queen Of Roses as an ARC through NetGalley.
Other than knowing it was a loosely inspired retelling of King Arthur's legend, I went into this book blind, not even reading the synopsis tbh. But, Oh am I glad I did. Because who doesn't love a dark romance fantasy with FAE?
The world building, the magic, the lore, the extremely SLOW-BURN romance, the banter, I loved everything. Though, it was a little tooo slow for me. You know the author is a good one when she makes you love a character slowly then fall in hate quickly. (*cough*Vesper*cough*).
The characters have a fun promising journey ahead(with a lot more spice, I hope) and I cannot wait to dive into the next book already!
Some of my favorite quotes:
"He was the air I breathed. I could not live without him."
"He's proud, arrogant and utterly detestable."
"I burn for you, Morgan. You've set me aflame..." "Then let the flames consume us"

This series has potential! I like the overall plot, although it was pretty much what most fantasy books are about. Just when I thought I was going to grasp and get really invested, the grip would loosen and I felt myself “trying” to get past the boring parts. It could also be that I’m not a huge fan of love triangles. I want to see what role Morgan is going to play if she ever gets back to her home kingdom.

why do I never see anyone talking about this?! AND it's the prequel to On Wings of Blood at that. now that one I do see people talking about like crazy, but you're seriously missing out if you're skipping this.
*shout out to Lexi (lexirachelreads) for telling me to start with this series*
I absolutely loved it! it will be a new go to re-read fav that's for sure, and i haven't even finished the series.
the world is so interesting, as well as the characters. I can't get enough of it. I love that I couldn't get a read on Draven and how things were going to go. THE TENSION. (it's me, I was tensioned.) 😂 i dont think that's even a word, but im going with it. & i really love Morgan. she's tough, but she's not like a total bad-a fmc that we typically see, but she's definitely probably working up to being one she's just figuring herself out. so that's a nice change up. it was nice not being able to predict everything that was going to happen, because I usually do. oh oh oh and that's creatures that I haven't read about before, so that's super fun!
anyways, yeah. you should read it. you're missing out if you dont.
