marquessa17 's review for:
The Rose Bargain
by Sasha Peyton Smith
This is a hard book to review because while I was invested in the story and wanted to know what was going to happen next there became a point where I did not like the characters. This is being touted as a cross between The Cruel Prince and The Selection. Well I have not read the former. I definitely agree that it is very similar to The Selection. That part of the story I would say was interesting to me the most, but I found that as the book progressed, it started to get bleaker and more depressing to me.
Something very specific happens to a side character and it really bothered me and I don’t know why the author had that happen. I also did not realize that this is part of a series/duology/ or maybe triology because when the ending occurs, I actually had to reread it thinking that I had missed something.
I feel like I probably will read the sequel but if it’s going to be a drawn out series, I don’t think it’s for me. The writing was very good and had that popcorn like quality to it that makes for an easy read. If it sounds interesting to you I definitely recommend that you pick it up. Just know that it was darker than I wanted.
