![]() ![]() The villains of the story were creepy and easy to hate while still being people I cared about enough to continually hope they would redeem themselves in the end. Rose, the heroine, was instantly likable and I felt strongly for her as she suffered through the requisite fairy tale trials (and they were so sad!). ![]() Still, surprisingly, especially considering it's such a short book, there's actually a lot of stuff going on in terms of both character growth and events. That also means the characters aren't SUPER developed, but that's not really a problem in fairy tales. Nancy Holder nailed the fairy tale feeling and the whole story had that magical story quality that I like to see in retellings. The Rose Bride falls somewhere in the middle. I'm a big fan of the Once Upon a Time series, though admittedly some entries in the series have been stronger than others.
