The Everlasting Rose by Dhonielle Clayton
3.0
[b:The Belles|23197837|The Belles (The Belles #1)|Dhonielle Clayton|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492784901s/23197837.jpg|42742745] was one of my favorite books of 2018, so I was really excited for its sequel. Unfortunately, I don't think The Everlasting Rose quite lived up to its predecessor. I actually felt like not very much happened (until the very end), so this didn't feel exceptionally exciting. I also had a bit of a hard time remembering who everyone was when there's, like, 25 Belles or something to keep track of. But I really like Dhonielle Clayton's writing, and I did like the ultimate ending and the epilogue.
I'm a little confused about the decision to include another book in the series. (At least I'm assuming that's what's going on since a third book is listed here on GR). I felt like this was a nice ending to the series, and seemed to be the intended ending. But this is a nice world, and it wouldn't be horrible to return to it once more.
