Queen of Roses (Blood of Fae Trilogy) by Briar Boleyn | A Review into this Beautiful Fairytale Retelling
I just finished reading Queen of Roses. I found this book on Netgalley and requested to read and the author granted permission. The book is written by Briar Boleyn. This is her Tiktok account.
So it took some time for me to start reading the book series. The series consists of three books. I finished the first book so I thought let’s write the review when it is fresh.
Let’s dive into the synopsis. I will make sure to not spoil anything for you. The series is a retelling of the Legend of Arthur and Excalibur. the series focused on one character which is Morgan Pendrath; half sister of King Arthur; and also shown as half-Fae in the first book. King Arthur is the cruel king in this story, he also has a younger brother named Kaye is just a child who doesn’t have a significant role in the first book but I am guessing in the coming books he is going to play some important part.
So, back to the story; Morgan is half Fey because her mother was full-blooded Fey and to hide her heritage she drinks a special concoction sanctioned by the King and her Uncle. However, she is showing some side effects of the medicine in terms of frequent and nasty headaches. And major fact is that she does not like her appearance at the start of the book. There is a Bully in the picture; Florian who terrorises and bullies Morgan. There is a High priestess; Merlin who is shown to have a very mysterious role and personality.
The story is told from the point of view of Morgan. There is usual court politics and manipulations in the picture and then all of a sudden Aurther decides to send Morgan to fetch a powerful weapon from some ancient forgotten lands. and then the story revolves around the adventures and journey of Moan from her castle to the said destinations.
