WOWZA. This book was not at all what i was expecting from a romantic fantasy novel. But i must say i enjoyed it so much. Its such a different take on the genre as a whole.
This is not some overly populated book, or an extravagant world. This is the aftermath of that world.
What happens when you've won the war? After you have paid your debts? After you've been the heroine or the villain in a story? Well, Never the Roses explores that.
When you've lived your whole life under control of the crown, and you've finally earned enough to be free, where do you go? Do you go on an adventure, and explore the world that you now have the freedom to see? Do you go home and live as you did?
Oneira was the dread sorceress, known all across the realms as a destroyer. But when she finally pays the debt of her contract, she decides to live alone in solace.
This is a story of her life, after. This is a story of self-rediscovery, of turmoil, of mental illnesses. This is also a story of love, of acceptance, and of hope. I found myself relating to Oneira so often, thinking similar thoughts. I hoped for her, despaired for her, and smiled with her.
And the relationships in this story were built so well. I feel like every relationship in this book came as unexpected, but in the way that it was always meant to happen. From her animal companions, to the people she meets. To her relationship with herself.
This is easily one of my 5
