First Thought
OMG, seriously!
So, it took me longer than it should have to read this book. I would read a few pages and get mad and not want things to happen so I would close the book and scream! I was happy to say I was in my car on lunch at work when I swore out loud. I knew something was happening with two of the characters, but I didn’t want to believe it.
This magical world was exactly what I needed. The two different roses fighting over a warrior was intriguing. The history of the families and the meaning behind the weapons were thrilling. I am excited to read the next book in the series.
This was recommended by a co-worker and was my first read by this author. I have already picked up the second and third books. However, I might need an emotional break from them first.
Jesse read this book and didn't care for it. I don't even know if he finished it. Has always been on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteIt made me angry at times. It's also a very simple and quick read. Writing wise, maybe not the most amazing, but I enjoyed the story.
