There isn't really much to say with this volume except for Irony. So much Irony. I do love a good identity reveal, as this happens at the very end of this volume as well.
I just want to say they are a lot of fire page spreads in this volume.
I am kind of weirded out by Richard's ghost kissing Richard(the son). It is weird. But the feather thing is very good. Not sure how to feel about that.

this series continues to mess with my head in hitherto unimaginable ways . . .
as a Lancaster by blood but a York sympathizer (my ancestors roll over in their graves about now), a devout admirer of Joan of Arc, and one who has always been fascinated by Richard III in general - this story is one hot mess and this volume wasn't any easier to get through because of it. that being said - bring on volume seven. I feel like someone just slapped me and it hurt without helping, but I need more.

Me había leído los otros 5 tomos para ver como seguia pero sin ningún interés especial. En cambio, en este tomo por fin pasa de TODO y creo que ya puedo decir que estoy enganchada :D
El mejor tomo para mi sin ninguna duda.

Requiem of the Rose King follows Richard who is the third son of the Duke of York and living in a world where the Wars of the Roses is on the precipice of beginning.
I think this is uch a unique series and I really love seeing Aya Kanno's spin on this series. I find the Wars of the Roses to be really interesting to study and seeing how they mix the history with their own story is really fascinating. There are a lot of political moving parts in this series and in what happened in the Wars of the Roses.
Richard is not a character who you love but one you find interesting and you can't help but want to know more about. I really love how Aya Kanno crossed the paths of Henry VI and Richard III. I do sometimes have to check to see if I am understanding the history correctly but I find it so fascinating to read.
I will say to be warned as there is a brief mention and depiction of rape in this this that could be upsetting. This volume also gets into a bit of a war bit near the end due to the way things were going int his time period.
I am so fascinated to see how this series is going to go as I find hte mixture of history and Aya Kanno's own story they include. I cannot wait to read the next volume.

Ngl this one was a bit of a tough volume to get through due to the content. I like it but there was just a lot going on all at once I think. Still looking forward to reading more.
