Blood Rose Rebellion
By Rosalyn Eves
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Personal Rating: 6/10

Anna has been a social outcast almost her whole life for her lack of magic. Things only get worse, however, when she accidentally breaks her sisters debutante spell. To protect her from the scrutiny of society, her family sends her to Hungary, where she meets a band of magic wielding Gypsies. As Anna gets caught up in a rebellion against the magic system, her entire word changes and her true potential is revealed.

This book was interesting enough, but in the end I couldn't find anything really unique or captivating about the story, characters, fantasy elements, or much else. I did like how the book was set in Hungary, that was different. I was very excited to read a book set in Hungary, excited to learn about the culture, however the book did little with the unique setting, I didn't feel like I actually learned anything about Hungary, which was the main reason I chose to read this book.

There wasn't anything necessarily bad about this book, but nothing extremely good either. I'm not a big fantasy fan, and this book didn't really change that, unfortunately. There isn't any usage of major swears or explicit content. It was a clean book, but sort of boring.
