Rebel Rose Review

4/5 Stars

Rebel Rose takes place after Beauty and the Beast and takes Belle on an adventure. But not the one she wants. We see what Belle and her Beast would do during the French Revolution. This fiction book takes place during the French Revolution in a fictional country called Aveyon.

This book is good for young adults and anyone who loves Disney or Beauty and the Beast.

TW in the book: Mentions of Beheading, child neglect, and death. Attempted assassination, Blood, classism, misogyny, swears (But there in French), and gun violence.

I loved the build-up to the end, it got you thinking about who the villain is, and twists it on you. The beginning was slow but picks up by the end.

April-May Reading Summary

I didn’t do one of these last month, because I barely finished any books in April, but I kinda made up for it in May, so here we go. During this time, I finished seven books, out of which two were read twice because of work. (Which puts me at 28 books so far this year, not counting the double reads.) So, let’s see…

Hannah Grace: Icebreaker This is the one that I’d say shows promise. Generally, I liked the language (there were some witty turn of phrases, especially, for some reason, in the beginning), the characters, and the themes it explored (toxic friendships, gaslighting, anxiety, etc.), but it started out as a Wattpad novel, and you could feel it. Not necessarily in the story itself, but in the structure–to me, it was very clear that it was meant to be read in like weekly installments, and that the author had a setting for the start, and then was just basically pantsing it. The plot catalyst mentioned on the back cover happened basically halfway through. But the author clearly has talent and now she is contracted by an actual publishing house, which she’ll get an actual editor holding her hand, so I expect the second book in the series (which I guess is coming out in the fall?) to be much better in the sense of structure.

Roald Dahl: Revolting Rhymes I knew some of the poems from the collection from before, but I never read the whole thing, so one after noon I just sat down, and, well, I read is (I mean, it took like 20 minutes). It’s lovely. It’s witty. It’s outrageous. (As a cheap pun: it was revolting.) I liked it.

Amélie Wen Zhao: Blood Heir It was kinda like SaB in a sense that 1, it was Russian Empire-inspired 2, there was an oppressed magical minority 3, female lead was a rare and powerful example of this magical minority. And in the beginning, for like the first seventy pages I even thought that it would be good, because the author was working with the idea of the members of this magical minority being forced into indentured servitude/basically slavery, and the system-wide problems, and the female lead–the crown princess of this country, currently on the run because she was framed for her father’s murder–realizing these problems and trying solve them. Only then instead of building the plot, we would go back to inner-monologuing about indentured servitude is bad, do you get it, it’s bad! about every twenty pages, up to the point when it just became annoying. At the same time, the plot was terribly repetitive (the characters would be ambushed, only to escape, only to be ambushed, only to escape…), and the author absolutely failed to establish any character beyond the male and female lead–and even if she did, those characters would be killed off, leaving us with basically zero supporting cast.

Jeff Zentner: Rayne and Delilah’s Midnite Matinee I actually translated one of Zentner’s other book, the Serpent King, a couple of years ago, which I still consider one of the best books I’ve ever worked on. And R&D’s Midnite Matinee was just as good. With a very simple actual plot, Zentner offers the reader a surprisingly emotionally complex story, while breaking our hearts and making us laugh (honestly, this book is ridiculously quotable). Absolutely recommend.

Emma Theriault: Rebel Rose Another one of my translations. Set after Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, this book explores what kind of a ruler Belle would be, while mixing fantasy and real-world history (and holy crap, some parts of it were like an actual history lesson on the French Revolution). It was surprisingly… decent. There were some plot points I did not completely agree with (because at some points identity politics and showing how, and I hate this word by now, woke the author/company is actually went against the plot), and the final showdown could have been a little stronger, but overall I really enjoyed the story, and appreciated the depth it went into French history.

Leigh Bardugo – Dani Pendergast: Demon in the Wood As a goodbye to Book Depository, I placed one last big order, DitW being one of the books I bought (finally!). I actually read it the moment I got my sticky little hands on it, and oh my, I loved it. I still have a vendetta against LB, but I will give credit where credit is due: the nuance in this story, the circle of abuse, Baghra’s terrible and emotionally manipulative parenting… I loved it. Also, kudos to the artist, because it’s beautiful.

Kerri Maniscalco: Kingdom of the Wicked Let me preface this by saying: I bought this book last July. I started reading it last July. And I finished it today. That’s how good bad it was. In my defense, at first it looked like something I’d really enjoy: Sicily in the late 19th century with witches (like religious, pagan witches with actual powers), but the actual book was just… nope. It was boring and repetitive (More than halfway through the book it felt like the POV character was just moving from convo with one person to another convo with another person, without anything else really happening.) By the end I could not keep it straight what was happening (although the fact that it took me ten months to finish it might have had something to with it), but somehow in the last 50 pages or so next to demons we got vampires and werewolves as well? WTF? Definitely not going to read the next book in the series.

LOL why are you asking me this and/or expecting an answer? Definitely not for me to know or say, my dude.

Have you heard if s townsend is trimming her list? Emma theriault just announced her new agents (and she was/is buddy buddy with Ave yard) and I swear I read another of townsends clients split with her recently

i haven't heard anything, no, but i do know that agents at NL are known for culling their lists of authors who aren't performing as well (whatever "well" means) as they want, so it's not 100% surprising

course, i can't say that's why Emma is with a new agent, since i don't know, but alas

Bookish Halloween Costumes | Top Ten Tuesday

The topic this week is Halloween Freebie! Halloween isn’t my favourite holiday, but it’s a close second. I haven’t dressed up for Halloween in the past couple of years because Covid has made it mostly impossible to do anything fun. I probably won’t dress up this October either because it seems like things will still be in a state of intense lockdown but it IS fun to imagine the costumes I would…

REBEL ROSE

by Emma Theriault

The Queen’s Council #1

(Disney Hyperion, 11/10/20)

9781368048200

Add to Goodreads

Purchase from Indiebound

Happily ever after is only the beginning as Belle takes on the responsibility of becoming queen and learns to balance duty, love, and sacrifice, all while navigating dark political intrigue-and a touch of magic. It's 1789 and France is on the brink of revolution. Belle has finally broken the Enchantress's curse, restoring the Beast to his human form as Prince Adam, and bringing life back to their castle in the province of Aveyon. But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep. Belle has always dreamed of leaving her provincial home for a life of adventure. But now she finds herself living in a palace, torn between her roots as a commoner, and her future as a royal. When she stumbles across a mysterious, ancient magic that brings with it a dire warning, she must question whether she is ready for the power being thrust on her, and if being Queen is more than just a title. Rebel Rose is the first in the Queen's Council series, an empowering fairy tale reimagining of the Disney Princesses-and the real history behind their stories-like you've never seen before.

Chronique : “Rose Rebelle “, Emma Theriault, Hachette Heroes. Tome 1 - Série “The Queen’s Council”

Coucou cher lecteur et lectrice !

Aujourd’hui je vais te parler d’un de mes derniers coup de cœur de l’année 2021 ! Un livre absolument fantastique, magique,et inattendu !

Depuis quelques jours maintenant, j’ai finis la lecture de “Rose Rebelle” ( de quoi cela parle ? - Eh bien tu vas vite le savoir ! ). L’autrice est Emma Theriault. Il s’agit d’un premier tome d’une nouvelle série appelée “The Queen’s Council” publié par la maison d’éditions Hachette Heroes.

Mais il parle de quoi ce roman ?

Eh bien, l’histoire prend place en 1789. La France sombre dans la Révolution. Paris est le témoin du mécontentement. Aveyon, royaume de Belle ( ET OUI IL S’AGIT BIEN D’UNE ADAPTATION DE LA SUITE DE LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE !!! ) et de son prince n’est pas encore tourmenté par la Révolution. Mais, il se pourrait bien qu’elle arrive plus tôt que prévue. Belle va être déchirée par son passé de roturière et son avenir en tant que Reine. Parviendra t-elle à sauver son peuple ?

Voilà l’histoire en général. Je ne veux pas trop vous en dire, pour éviter que cela ne vous gâche la lecture !!

Maintenant, passons à mon avis haha !!

Que vous dire.

Par quoi commencer, si ce n’est que j’ai été transportée du début à la fin dans les aventures de Belle. Ce fut ingénieux de la part de l’autrice de se placer après les évènements du film. Cela permet aux fans (dont meeee) de pouvoir profiter des personnages et faire perdurer l’univers qui nous plais tant.

J’ai retrouvé les personnages et leur caractère comme dans le film. L’arc sur Belle était très intéressant à suivre. Tout comme celui du prince qui avait quelque chose a régler suite au premier film et j’ai trouvé cela très bien maitrisé de la part de l’autrice !

Je vous ai parlé des personnages. Mais il y a autre chose qui m’a marquée : la plume de l’autrice qui décrit parfaitement et de manière fluide l’histoire. En plus, elle apporte un élément mystérieux qui vous apporter la magie en plus !

Le choix de cet évènement historique dans l’univers de la Belle et la Bête est judicieux.

Pour finir, je vous conseille de lire “Rose rebelle” si vous adorez Disney et LA BELLE ET LA BÊTTE !!! On ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde, c’est un véritable PAGE TURNER !!!

Un autre atout de bouquin, ce sont les références faites au dessin animé ! Un atout colossal quand tu adores ce dessin animé !!

ALORS OUI C’EST UN COUP DE CŒUR !!! MÊME COUP DE CŒUR, CŒUR, CŒUR !!!

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée, ou soirée !

Bises xoxox

The Halfworld is real, and for those living in its shadow, its unrelenting. But when you lift the veil there's a world of wonder to behold. Of lives so rich, so beautiful your heart just wants to explode when you watch it unfold. A brother and sister divided by betrayal, a warrior sworn to protect, a killer searching for his heart, an outsider looking to belong. Their pain, their fears, their hopes, these visions haunt me. They also inspire me to be free.

HALFWORLDS, S02E08

I just realized that I’m currently reading five books concurrently.

Emma Theriault’s Rebel Rose for work

Kerri Maniscalco’s Kingdom of the Wicked, which is not good, but I’ve been reading it since last July, and damn, I’m gonna finish it if it’s the last thing I do. However, it’s an actual paperback copy, and I like to read in the bathtube, but I don’t wanna get a book wet, so...

Jeff Zentner’s Rayne and Delilah’s Midnite Matinee on my phone. I just started it last night (in the bathtub), but I actually translated one of his earlier books, and it was so good and heart-wrenching, and it started so well too.

Dracula, of course, through Dracula Daily

And Un sogno sul ghiaccio per Colette by, khm, Tea Stilton, purely to practice my Italian.
