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.
