I enjoyed most of this book so much. It was fascinating, intriguing and I found it difficult to put down. It was much more than a retelling of B&B, though of course, there were elements of that fairy tale in this story. On the negative side, I agree with another reviewer who remarked that the ending seemed rushed. There was so much detail throughout most of the book, and I was captivated by Beauty's world and the life she led. Therefore, when the last few chapters were so brusque and the ending completely abrupt, I felt jarred and a tiny bit cheated. I suspect that this ending is meant to leave an opening for a sequel. If so, I for one, will certainly read it. And unlike so many of the self-published offerings today that are hell bent on sequels and leave one hanging at the end of the first book, Roses is a complete story. It's just that the tone of the story changed/sped up drastically towards the end, leaving me feeling a bit bereft. But please don't let this dissuade you from reading Roses. I very much recommend it. Another note, I'm not a big fantasy fan. I enjoy some fantasy tales, but only if they don't create a world that I simply cannot relate to. (i.e. my favorite fantasy book of all time is "A Wrinkle in Time"). For me, Roses accomplished this beautifully. I was fascinated by the world Mannering created and her writing skillfully brought me into it.

Roses Rose Mannering Books Reviews

I really love this book. It teaches many truths. In the guise of a fairytale. I thought the characters were real and most were likable. I'd really have liked to see it go across multiple books just for the basic story. I didn't want it to end.
I love fantasy and this story delivered it beautifully. I want more!! Let's see what happens with these characters! Love it.
So much better than beastly beastly by Alex was so unrealistic. Way better and more believable. T h s b
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I love Beauty and the Beast and this is a clever retelling. I am a little disappointed in the ending, though. That's the reason for 4 stars. It just drops off into nothingness. It seemed a bit hurried, too. Maybe the author is doing a second book in a series? Anyway, it was a nice read.
OK. This book is geared for teens. I gave it 4 stars because it kept me interested throughout. Ending is a bit rushed. Secondary characters/back story could have been fleshed out a tad more. All in all, a great read from a young author. Mannering did a good job for a first book.
A truly brilliant take on the traditional Beauty and the Beast. Politically charged and tinged with magic, it reminded me Wicked by Gregory Maguire. In all honesty, however, it could have easily been twice as long. There were several instances where one sentence could have been an entire chapter, or more. At the end, it seemed like Mannering just gave up, as if she was tired of writing and just wanted to finish everything up. When I was nearing the end, I was certain that there was going to be a sequel to the book, because there was no way that it could tie everything up in the ten pages that were left. I think this book deserves fewer than four stars solely for the abrupt and forced ending, but I truly adored the first 7/8 of it (haha) and feel guilty for giving it less. I do recommend reading it.
The first half of the book we don't even encounter the Beast, but we're told how Beauty grew up and how she became the way she is. Although she isn't your classic beauty - her eyes are violet and her skin is silver. And the Beast? Well he isn't like you might imagine from Disney... He's more like a griffin.

The second half (or should I say the last third?) of the book is the interaction between the Beauty and the Beast. It is well written, although at moments I was frustrated, because I felt the story was incomplete. There were some points I wished that were more thoroughly discussed like in the first half.

At first I thought that maybe this book isn't for me, because I really didn't get how this was a retelling of the classic, but in the end I was like how could this end?! The ending felt too abrupt.
