I really enjoyed this novella, more than the duology! I found the length perfect and the story was sweet. It was slower-paced than other novellas I have read, which I didn’t mind but since I read it in multiple sittings I feel like I might have missed a little bit of the characterization of Lillith and Vale. So I would have loved a little more characterization at the beginning of the book, but I also might have missed it. I enjoyed seeing this relationship progress and how it felt right for Lillith to choose Vale.

My heart was racing this whole book. I was so afraid for the characters. What a great book - it was fast-paced, I was never bored, and the characters felt so alive. The stakes were high and time was precious. You could feel the urgency of the main character. In other words, I LOVED IT.

sweet with a bitter bite

A short but good read!

General 4/5
The book itself is very fast paced, the chapters are short and easy to read. The entire plot happens in a span of 4-6 months. Sometimes it felt a bit rushed, given there could have been more information on certain things, but that would've make the book definitely longer.

Characters 3.5/5
While I think, that there could've been a bit more flaws to the characters itself, there was not much room for much character development since its a short story to read. The two main characters had their flaws and that was enough, given the pacing of the book.

Storyline 4/5
The storyline was very straight forward. It was clear from the beginning, what Lilith wanted to do and what she knew, she had to do to get to her goal.

Worldbuilding 3.5/5
I absolutely loved the world, we were thrown in and I wish there would've been more. The main information was explained, yet, not as detailed as other worlds.

Despite all the things smaller things I critized, it is still a 4/5 for me. Because I simply enjoyed reading the book, I enjoyed the world they were in and also the story itself.
The only thing that was a bit iffy

was the only spicy scene in the book. It happened right after Vale got attacked and was deadly wounded and left me with a what the... moment.

But it got me hooked about the entire world and I'm about to start the next book with excitment about what roles Lilith and Vale will have.

They are suppose to appear in the second book so I'm very much excited!!

What a delightful short story. It felt so well done and fully fleshed out the ti forgot it was a novella and got sad it was already over. In that short time, you really get a good feel for Vale and Lilith, and I'm excited to see how they tie into Book 2 because they are just wonderful. The only bummer is we don't get anymore than those two, and when there's another character it's really brief. I suppose it IS a novella though. But it was still very good and a wonderful concept.

I love Carissa Broadbent’s writing! Though Six Scorched Roses is a novella, it felt like a full flushed novel. The world building was so easy to jump into and the characters are so lovable. I just love this world and I can’t wait to see the roles Lilith and Vale play in The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King! 🥀🗡️🩸
