FML I didnโ€™t know this wasnโ€™t a standalone, feining for the nest book asap. Yes it was classic fae and trials and what not but it really had that extra umph. At least for me it did.

Iโ€™ve been loving YA Romantasy lately, and this was another fantastic one! The Rose Bargain is a really fun story with Bridgerton vibes, a marriage competition, fae secrets, and a delectable love triangle. Even though this is YA, some of the bargains are pretty gruesome, giving the story a dark, high-stakes feel. The very minor issues I had with this book were mostly just a couple of small inconsistencies, but otherwise it was throughly entertaining and I canโ€™t wait for book two after that ending!

Well, if you're looking for a book to get you out of a reading slump: this is it. I thought this was going to be a mix between Bridgerton and any fae book, but it was more The Cruel Prince meets the Hunger Games. 
I liked the interactions between the six girls most, because that is what the world needs, female solidarity. 
But the romance, the intrigue, the mystery and the inevitable plottwist: it was all good. I really, really liked this book, and didn't even expect it.

So bingeable! I literally devoured this in a single day. Could not put it down and haven't stopped thinking about it!

The love triangle ๐Ÿฅน omg I couldn't get enough of it! I didn't know where this story was going and had no idea who to trust

Best believe I cried multiple times during this book too ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I am now going to impatiently wait for the next book but I'm willing to beg to get it sooner ๐Ÿ˜‚
