Blood Rose Rebellion

De: Rosalyn Eves

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

"A magical tale unlike anything you've read before." —Bustle

"[A] richly imagined 19th-century historical fantasy." —EW, A-

The thrilling first book in a YA fantasy trilogy for fans of Red Queen. In a world where social prestige derives from a trifecta of blood, money, and magic, one girl has the ability to break the spell that holds the social order in place.

Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.

Her life might well be over.

In Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t seem to stop herself from breaking spells.

As rebellion spreads across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romani, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever.

“A fast-paced historical fantasy full of magic, romance, and adventure!”—JESSICA DAY GEORGE, New York Times bestselling author of Silver in the Blood

So far soo good

SO FAR ITS FULL OF MAGIC, historian setting era of noble men and women and those of certain upper class families with unbelievably suspenseful majic and constant high intensity adventure. I definitely recommend trying this new series as I believe there are 2 books in total that are recorded as of now:)
In addition the narration was well done:)!

What a great read.

The narrator, Fiona Hardingham, did such a superb job with this story. Her annunciation of the Hungarian names and words is great. This story really had me captive throughout its telling. I can't wait to read the next one in the series and find out what has become of Matias.

Good enough to finish

Disliked the Catholic parallels in this genre. Timeless social struggles placed in magical, fantastical dimensions.

great listen

the performance was spot on. so much that I continued to listen despite my growing annoyance with the main character.
I'm glad I did the story was great. the facts and info after was also a wonderful treat.

Intriguing historical fiction with magic

I really enjoyed this story and am excited to read the second book. The characters are likeable, flawed and realistic people who you grow to care about throughout the book.

The narrator is one of my favorites (read Scorpio Races if you haven't already!) and I knew she would do the story justice.
