bandherbooks 's review for:
Roses and Rot
by Kat Howard
A dark fairy-tale about two sisters who join an artist colony but find out it is tied to the world of the Fae.
I enjoyed the story, and found it lyrically written, but was hoping for a little more depth. Readers who are unfamiliar with Fae legends may need to read outside of the book to truly understand some of the lore. I also found the "romance" angle to be much less of a focus than some of the descriptions and reviews I read, and while sexy, I didn't really connect with that aspect of the novel. I did like the focus on the two sisters, their different gifts, and how their terrible mother both brought them together and tore them apart.
