Rebel Rose by Emma Theriault
3.0
I received an eARC courtesy of Disney-Hyperion/Disney Publishing Worldwide & NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I have a mix of feelings about this title I love concept of a blended fairy tale retelling meets historical fiction. It was great to see familiar faces mingled with new ones. Bu this took me a while to get into. I am, ultimately, glad I stuck it out. The story definitely picked up as it progressed. Though I do have to ding it a bit for taking so long to become engaging-and also for making Lio (aka Beast) a bit of a dolt (listen to your wife!).
Was this story predictable? Yes. So predictable. Will readers enjoy it? Yes. They will. I am intrigued with how this series will continue.
For Libraries: I think this is a good one to take a chance on if you have fans of Disney, fairy tale retellings or historical fiction.
