Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen
4.0
“The land will bloom red with blood and roses and war. The prince— his heart will be damnation or salvation. His choice may save us all. His bride— it is up to her! A curse , a curse, accursed curse— gods, be wary—”
This book reads like a fairy tale but you aren't quite sure who the hero is. Is it the morally grey female main, Violet? Is it the charming prince? Could it be the bisexual princess or the foreign dignitary?
This was very much an enemies to lovers, but without so much of the love. Violet isn't a role model - none of the characters really are. The love story is messy and human emotional pitfalls are prevalent. Add in monsters and prophecy and magic for a captivating experience.
I can't wait to see where book two takes us!
