Whilst waiting for my copy to arrive in the post, I browsed through some of the reviews on Goodreads out of curiosity. Needless to say I couldn't wait for the next installment - Autumn Rose. One of my favourite books from last year was Abigail Gibb's debut YA novel, The Dark Heroine: Dinner with a Vampire. I reserve my judgement until book three, hoping it will rekindle my enthusiasm for the series. So, perhaps, Abigail Gibbs rushed this book through publication, perhaps she felt like she needed a back story and lacked enthusiasm to write it, but whatever the reason, Autumn Rose failed to keep me as enthralled as the previous book. They were described through Autumn's eyes, her perception, and looked pathetic. I perked up a little when Kaspar and Violet showed up, but the joy didn't last. From what? Extermino with their conflicting goals? People like Violet's father? I wasn't seeing the picture. No spark, zilch, nada.Īt last there was the whole threat of Extermino suspiciously similar to Harry Potter's Death Eaters and a pretty messy concept of Heroines saving the world. They were meant to feel for each other but I wasn't seeing it. Her relationship with Fallon was even worse. ![]() It seemed that I was supposed to admire her but she confused the hell out of me. She did not feel like a well developed character, she was disjointed, jumpy, scattered, neurotic. Straight away I struggled to like Autumn. No one in her school knows who she really is until Prince Fallon enrolls in the same school to keep and eye on her, and they start falling in love. The main heroine, fifteen-year old Autumn, is a sage, a magic user and a noble woman, a Sagean Duchess of England, who goes to a normal school and struggles with her rising power as a seer and her depression due to the loss of her grandmother. Everything in this book happens parallel to the time stamp of The Dark Heroine but in a different dimension and involving a completely different set of characters. It took me weeks to get through Autumn Rose, and I had to push myself all the way through.įirst of all, Autumn Rose doesn't mention Kaspar and Violet until its last 20%. What a mess! *sighs* I am wretchedly frustrated right now, peeps, considering how much I loved The Dark Heroine. Who will be the next heroine and how the prophecy will be continue!!! I'm really curious. ![]() I really want to know what will happen next. ![]() It left me a little bit unsatisfied but i will continue reading the series. Well, i enjoyed it but it wasn't the very best. Hey! Don't judge me! I'm a girl and i like to have some romance inside the books!!! He was very shy and selfless.įallon and Autumn could be great together but their romance was poor and almost non existent. I can tell that Fallon was the opposite from Kaspar and i adore this asshole who calling Kaspar.įallon was kind, caring, with big heart. Prince Fallon from the other hand had so much patience with her and he was trying really hard. I think that it didn't have so much action and Autumn sometimes irritated me. Well, it was a nice, easy going story, but for me it wasn't better than the first one. Prince Fallon will be by her side but is it enough? ![]() Her fate will be revealed and how she will manage to accept it? Some people are determined to make her theirs and they don't stop at anything. The time that take place this book is the same time that took place the previous book, but now we can see how the things were working for Autumn in her own dimension with her own problems. He is the younger prince of her people and she doesn't like him at all. She has no friends, the people around her avoiding her and now, from nowhere, a boy appeared in her school to change everything. She is having visions from a girl who as it seems is Violeta Lee.Īutumn's another problem is that after her grandmother's death she is lost and she is kinda of depressed. and Autumn's one of them is the ability to see some facts from the future.Īnd that's her biggest problem. In this book the things were different.įirst of all, we were in another dimension, where humans and people with special powers as Autumn were living together openly.Īutumn Rose was a girl with magical powers and scars that showing her kind. It's common secret that i loved fiercely the first book and especially that bloodsucker Kaspar Varn and his Violeta. I really don't know what i'm feeling about this book!!!
