Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen

adventurous medium-paced
Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for this Arc!!

This was a whole new style of Fairytale and I loved it!

I have to say that at first I was conflicted.  The author writes a note in the beginning describing the reasons for the main character's traits..  How Violet was written to be a realist.  An in-between of good and bad. Not really fitting into a box.  So at first, I found it hard to like her character.  But after continuing to read, I wound up really appreciating her.  

Violet is a Seer for a king, and really the whole kingdom.   She saved the Prince's life at age 7 and now they have a shaky relationship usually based on insults.  However,  the land is changing and Violet is seeing scary visions of what is to come; Monsters, blood and roses. 

Enemies to lovers! An ending that I never could have seen coming! And, fairytale! What more does a reader need?

Out July 26, 2022!
