The Rebel and the Rose by Catherine DoyleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The très français sort of YA romantasy saga continues, and as with its predecessor, Catherine Doyle’s newest tale had a very long waitlist at the library for me. In the end, this one is not ending a duology, and thank God for that…but this book definitely feels like it caught a classic case of Sophomore Slump Syndrome. It’s lovely and French, but it’s also long in its lavishness and moves events forward with surprisingly slow pacing. But where this book excels is its increased emphasis on the saints of this world, and how some of them have cults in their name that have really developed their business acumens over time. I’m sure by this time next year, Doyle will be gracing the world with one more book to wrap this series right up…
