Rebel Rose by Emma Theriault

3.0

I love the concept behind this new series. This is book 1 in The Queens Council series. This series features the princesses we know and love as powerful queens - no more damsels in distress!

Rebel rose is a continuation of the Beauty and the Beast story, rather than a retelling. It actually reads a lot more like a historical fiction than a fairy tale or fantasy, which I didn’t expect and really enjoyed.

Although easy to read, I felt like it dragged on a bit and there weren’t a lot of plot hooks to keep you interested along the way.

Having said that, I did enjoy the story and was happy with the ending of the book. I would be interested to see which princess takes on the role of queen next!

Thank you to Scholastic for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
