When Rose awakens in a green house with no memory of how she got there, the adventure begins. This story explores her torture, among being experimented on, watching as the world she once knew and can only remember in fragmented pieces is stripped from her, all while dealing with a bizarre transformation.
This made me think of Poison Ivy, the character, someone who's innocence and naivety is stripped away by cruelty and I wanted her to rise up and be powerful one. But as her will is subjected to horrendous punishment and you see just how much she's beaten down, you realize that option grows slimmer and slimmer.
I loved that she is always fighting for survival, refusing to just give in, and this is why the ending actually really disappointed me. Sure, that could have been her choice but I would have loved to see her take what occurred and use it to become something more. She became something almost divine with protective and offensive powers, she could have gone through and saved more victims like herself from their inescapable prisons. It just was disappointing to me.
I'm glad I snagged this cause it is beautiful and the story's enjoyable.
