Queen of Roses by Briar Boleyn
4.0

This book is just *chefs kiss* amazing!

✨️Hate to Friendship
✨️Fae
✨️Magic
✨️Lost Kingdom
✨️Forced Proximity
✨️Instant Love

A doomed love, a dangerous mission, and a kingdom on the brink of war...
A cast-off princess…
A dangerous temptation…
A slumbering kingdom awoken by blood…

This book is an Arthurian retelling but with a twist. Merlin, A High Priestess, Lancelet, A female knight (you get the idea).
This book is based loosely off Arthurian mythology, with Fae and Mythological creatures.

I loved the world building in this book, it was easy to keep up with, the character development was slow, but the FMC starts to come into who she is suppose to be (I will assume there's more of this to come!) The FMC and MMC start to develop a friendship in the later half of this book, I can't wait to see where it goes! Exmoors! I want one!!

This is the first book in a dark fantasy romance series, so please check trigger warnings!

Thank you to NetGalley and Briar Boleyn for allowing me to read and review this series!
