ARC BOOK REVIEW: The Rose Throne by Mette Ivie Harrison

The Rose Throne by Mette Ivie Harrison
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Princesses
Publication Date: May 14, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
Ailsbet loves nothing more than music; tall and red-haired, she's impatient with the artifice and ceremony of her father's court. Marissa adores the world of her island home and feels she has much to offer when she finally inherits the throne from her wise, good-tempered father. The trouble is that neither princess has the power--or the magic--to rule alone, and if the kingdoms can be united, which princess will end up ruling the joint land? For both, the only goal would seem to be a strategic marriage to a man who can bring his own brand of power to the throne. But will either girl be able to marry for love? And can either of these two princesses, rivals though they have never met, afford to let the other live?







  My Thoughts
 
Okay, where to start? Honestly, I'm not a fan of fantasy genre. I can count in my fingers how many times I read a book that has a clean ya/fantasy in it. So this is a bit new to me.

Do I like it? YESThe storyline is great and it has a little twist in it that I had a hard time putting it down.

The romance was meh- sadly I didn't feel any connection to them. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading it, but as I mentioned earlier-  I'm not into ya/fantasy stories, so this was an ok book for me.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author
 My name is pronounced "Metty" like my mother's "Betty." It is Danish, and we were all named after ancestors. I guess by the time they got to number nine (out of eleven), it was getting tricky. So I got the funny Danish name no one knew how to prounounce. In Denmark, it should be "meta" like "metaphysical." It's from the Greek for "pearl." And no, it's not short for anything. Not even Mediterannean.

I now live in Utah with my husband and 5 children, ages 5 to 14. I write during nap time, or at 4 in the morning, or while the broccoli for dinner is burning. Whenever I get a chance. I love to write the kind of books that I love to read. And I love to discover what is going to happen next, just like a reader would. I also do some racing in triathlon.
