lydiaredwineauthor 's review for:
The Rose Society
by Marie Lu
I don't know man. Maybe I read this at the wrong time. I mean I really liked The Young Elites but this was just lacking in nearly every department. I am the odd on out on this book. Most reviews I see are 4 or 5 stars and I'm just like, "Meh..."
What I liked:
1. The title because people it sounds so epic. I love it.
2. The cover!! I like wolves so the whole white wolf persona and the cover were to my liking.
3. MAGIANO or however you spell his name. He's a new favorite. He's kind of like Hunter from Agents of Shield and err someone else I can't think of. Is it weird that I actually ship him with Violetta instead of Adelina? Because I do.
4. Violetta. I just like her a lot okay.
5. The quotes sprinkled throughout the book at the beginning of the "chapters."
What I didn't like: I didn't hate anything...it just seemed like everything could have been better.
1. The world building: for whatever reason i couldn't stay focused enough to absorb the writing enough to be able to see the places in mind's eye. The map is great but I'm not a huge fan of the world.
2. Characters: my main issue is that I'm not connecting with ANY of the characters or really liking any except the two I've already mentioned. Despite this, I am curious to see how Adelina is like at the end of the series. But right now I just don't like her and I don't enjoy hating her like I've done with other villains.
3. The romance. I'm not on board with any of these ships. It probably has to do with the fact that I don't really care for the characters.
I don't hate this book but I don't love it either. I will read the third book because I am curious enough but I don't know if I'll ever reread or purchase this series.
