Blood Rose Rebellion
by Rosalyn Eves
**You can see this full review and more at Book Briefs: https://bookbriefs.net**Blood Rose Rebellion is the first book in the young adult fantasy series by the same name. It is also author Rosalyn Eves debut novel, which really impressed me. Blood Rose Rebellion was an excellent read for me, and I can't wait to journey back into this crazy world. I loved the fantasy elements a little more than the romance elements but I have a feeling book two will change my mind. I think this is a romance that is going to get better and better with each book, now that the foundation has been laid for the characters and the story.
Blood Rose Rebellion tells the story of young Anna. Anna is a member of a high class Luminate family. Luminate meaning they are the wielders of magic in this world. Only Anna is barren, she can't wield magic. But she does seem to mess up people's spells when she is around. I loved this premise. I found it to be a breath of fresh air from the norm of magic stories where the main character picks everything up just a bit too easily. Nothing really comes easy for Anna. I liked her a lot. But her breaking spells is really only the beginning of the story.
What I loved most about Blood Rose Rebellion is that this was a story that kept growing and growing. You will want to pay attention to the details of the world and its' structure early on because it gets more complicated the more we learn about magic and the binding spell and all that other interesting stuff. So be sure you read closely or you might find yourself confused at some points. The concept of a binding spell to restrict the use of magic for non-nobles was really interesting to me. Plus, the whole idea of rebellion is exciting and thrilling. It all worked really well. I loved the politics and the class structures and how they all played into the mysteries of magic in the world.
Bottom line: If you are a fan of fantasies that have tons of layers, politics, magic and secrets, with action and fighting thrown in, you will love the Blood Rose Rebellion series. I found the premise to be super interesting and wholly unique. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
