A Reign of Rose

The ending has some nice unexpected events, but overall it felt pretty rushed and again not a lot happening beside what we expected.
I liked that some questions were kept omen at the end to maybe continue with other characters, like Mari.
Same as before, 2,5 - 3⭐

I really enjoyed A Reign of Rose as the final installment of the Sacred Stones trilogy.

I loved that it started off right where book 2 left us, and thought the story line was super interesting.

Getting Kane's perspective while Arwen was captured was so powerful, and I truly felt his agony and anger. Then the twist with how he would be able to potentially defeat his father? So good! Arwen's perspective while she was imprisoned was interesting! I liked the 2 guards and how that played out, and the overall plot for her being there.

Once they were reunited, ugh! So good. I really loved this book and this trilogy overall, and am sad it is over! I really hope there will be a spinoff about Griffin and Mari because man that slow burn is slooowwwwwww.

The rest of the story was really interesting, I am glad we got to meet the Rose Queen, and I loved how that panned out. Her curse/issue was super messed up but also interesting, as well as the blood fae interactions. Messed up but so interesting! I also would love to get a spin off novella or story about them and the leader for sure!! Why does he want the daughter??? I need to know, and a 20 years in the future spinoff about them would be super great.

The battle at the end was *chefs kiss*, I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way - it was perfection. So much tension, detail, angst, and fear!

Overall, I loved this book and trilogy and would recommend it to everyone who loves romantasy! It has a great mix of fantasy and romance, and keeps it all interesting along the way.
