Queen of Roses by Briar Boleyn
4.0
One of the first Dark Romantasy(?) books I’ve read, one that is a reimagining of Arthurian legends. This wouldn’t be a book I would necessarily pick up by choice but I really did thoroughly enjoy! There was a mixture of action and adventure, magic, friendship, family love and just a little dash of that slow burn, which is killing meeee!
’Go, I’ll find you Morgan.’
The characters are very well written! The FMC sometimes annoyed me with how 80% of her dialogue involved a question but they did help build the world and answer some questions that the reader might have. I just hope that we see more of her true character in the next book. I despised Arthur but the relationship that Morgan had with the other characters made up for the fact that I was very disappointed in Arthur. However, I think that’s because I’m use to the Arthur from the Merlin TV show so don’t take my opinion on that. Kaye on the other hand, my brave sweet sweet prince. Each side character showed their own individuality which isn’t something you always read! I don’t think I can talk about a certain character as I do not want to spoil for anyone else.
Kairos Draven however … take a bow sir. I loved him from the first moment he appeared, and the way he was so protective over the main character has me weeeeak.
’Not even a thank you Princess?’ … ‘I’ll miss you too’
The writing flowed nicely which helped me get through the slow building of the world, which comes along with most fantasy books. The cliffhanger has me itching for more and I can’t wait to indulge myself further into this world and the adventures that Morgan and Draven are surely going to come across.
