Me: I should post more consistently.

Also me: Goes weeks without posting then posts 2 in the same week. 😅

I've been wanting to read this fic for such a long time and I finally did it! As soon as I was done I had to bind it. I really enjoyed this so so much. Its hard to find appropriate words for my feelings for it but let's just say its now definitely one of my favorite fic reads.

One of the best feelings in the world is when you feel absolutely feral for a book.

And that’s precisely how reading Rose in Chains made me feel. I was rabid, ravenous, couldn’t get enough. I devoured this book—and at the end basically crashed entirely out from the intensity of the huge reveals and cliffhanger.

This dark romantasy (definitely check any trigger warnings, and take care of your mental health while reading this) follows Briony Rosewood, the princess of Evermore whose twin brother—a prophesied savior—has just been killed in battle. She is captured alongisde other Evermore citizens, who are auctioned off to wealthy enemy families in Bomard. That’s how Briony finds herself purchased by Toven Hearst: the boy who both bullied her in school and fascinated her, and whose terrifying family is extremely well-connected within Bomard’s society.


There’s angst and tension, political intrigue and extremely high stakes, and the kind of quick pacing that is the very definition of “unputdownable.” That said, there are a few weak points—honestly, the magic system left me confused in some places as the plot progressed. (Maybe I was reading too fast?)

But. BUT. This book is a very good time and easy to obsess over. If you were a fan of The Auction (iykyk) you’ll see the huge amount of work that Julie Soto put into adapting this into an original story with the shape of that fic, but distinct enough to stand on its own (and avoid, you know, a lawsuit). The changes will have those who love the fic gasping as loudly as those who are reading it with no prior knowledge.

I definitely will be picking up the next in the series. I NEED to know where the story is going to go!
