A review by betsyrisen
Blood Rose Rebellion by Rosalyn Eves
5.0
I wrote a long review which I accidentally deleted, so to sum up:
I needed a YA trilogy. This one had magic and Hungary in it. I can't believe how this woman who is not Hungarian has Hungarians pegged so completely.
"There were Grandmama’s stories, of course, of a paradoxical people who could “weep from one eye and laugh with the other,” a people who laughed when they mourned and wept when they were joyful." I mean come on.
As to the actual story, I can't even begin to discuss it because (while I should have anticipated this due to the setting of the book, suprise Petofi Sandor was just too much for me). On to book two...
