A Path of Thorns
Blood Doesnt lie
Having failed to heed the warnings of the generations before her, Rion offers Lillianett one more chance to survive and go home. A deal. She must pass the trials set by the Crowns of each kingdom but not before training on Syver, the Glorian academy. With enemies at every turn and only four allies on her side, it's another uphill battle for survival. If Lilly does survive, freedom is hers, but with old secrets coming to light and an even older shadow working in the darkness, what is that freedom truly worth?

A big thank you goes out to Maria B. Moses for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review!!
This book is incredible, but to understand it, you have to read book one first. I went back and reread book one, I found that reading them back to back was best as the second one goes almost right after the first.
Lily is such a strong character in this book and has the best outlook on her whole situation. She was born into this life, she didn’t choose it. So everyone continues to call her and test her like a monster, except for a slight few.. but she continues to prove everyone wrong. Throughout the book she is given trails to overcome in order to break the curse and go home. Done trials are harder than others, and since you don’t even see the outcome coming until it’s there. Lily’s relationship with her friends has also grown in this book. They treat her more like family than anything. They all stand up for each other and fight for each other and their growth was written so smoothly.
The ending made me tear up… and then of course gasp right at the end.. So I have my fingers crossed that there will be another book.. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 but I also think that having small novels for each of her friends would be beneficial as well. I was left with questions on the part of all of them and how they came to be so close and dependent on each other. I know boys and pieces are mentioned through out both books, but I think reading the story from their point of view would be great!!

This is book two of the A Curse of Roses Trilogy. This book has a strong, well-developed and an interesting story line with twists and unexpected turns that keep you reading and turning the pages. It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention. Amazing world building that is detailed and imaginable. Strong, interesting, and fascinating characters that are well developed and diverse. This is a fast-paced intriguing read! This review is based on an early review copy I was sent by the publisher, but this didn't affect the content of my review that I am voluntarily providing.
