The Language of Roses by Heather Rose Jones

5.0

One of Heather Rose Jones' best. This novella is about love in a mysterious and dark castle, but love from a different perspective than so many tales are obsessed with. It explores a character that gives up herself for the sake of her family and get thrust into a situation she has no way of understanding, an intrigue of fae and passions at odds. Much like in the Disney version, the library is a great solace to the main character, but for quite a different reason - one I find just as understandable as the ability to spend your time reading books.

This novella also explores the many guises beasts can appear around us, and finding the power to overcome and walk away.
