This series has been officially moved to my favorites shelf because I read each book in less than 24 hours.

The Cursed Rose is the heavily anticipated finale to Leslie Vedder's Bone Spindle series, and it is a beautifully written emotional rollercoaster.
I won't go too much into details of the plot because I don't want to spoil anything, but I read it basically in three sittings, only because I had to eat dinner and go to bed (otherwise I probably would've read the whole thing in one go). I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and the end had me furiously annotating my e-book with notes of how upset I was with certain turns of events.
The characters, once again, continue to shine through. Perrin grew on me a little in this book, surprisingly enough. I also think my opinions on Red have drastically changed since book one and I love Cinzel with my whole heart. Shane is still awesome and hilarious and she's probably one of my favorite female fantasy warriors. As for Fi and Briar? They're probably still my favorites and let me just say the angst that I went through in this book was insane. Thanks to the author for making me suffer, I enjoyed it a lot.
If you enjoyed the first two books, The Cursed Rose will not let you down. It's full of twists, puzzles, and one final adventure that will rip your heart apart and then piece it back together.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the free e-ARC! (No, really, thanks. When I got the email that my request was approved, I squealed like a toddler).
4.75/5
