A review by erica_andthebooklings
Blood Rose Rebellion by Rosalyn Eves

4.0

This book deserves a much higher rating. All the 1 star ratings from arc reviewers I think reflects the fact that the publishing company sent arcs to the wrong reviewers. This was an excellent book set in a rich reimagining of nineteenth century Europe. The magic system is grounded in real folklore and a believable Victorian era society. It's not for lovers of Sarah J Maas-style YA fantasy - it's for the historical fiction lover. Also, I should looking out for info dumps because that was a major complaint and didn't find any so there's that. The story is so heavily influenced by the society and culture of the characters and the author did a fantastic job of providing relevant historical information.
