Veiled Rose by Anne Elisabeth Stengl6/20/2023 ![]() Sure, Leo put Rosie under his personal protection and got her a job as a palace servant - which, while not the ideal position, was way better than her life on the mountain. But then Leo had a bad tendency of just forgetting about Rosie, and that's something no true friend would do. I could understand his want and need to pursue his own life, rather than simply accept the role that was laid out for him from the beginning. Half of the time I liked him, as he continued to stand by Rosie while everyone else was cruel to her. She's a fighter, and I really appreciated that, especially after reading Heartless, where Una did nothing to help herself. ![]() Rose Red is in distress alright, but she doesn't let it get her down. She may not be able to do much about her situation, or really help anyone else, but at least she tries, rather than playing the victimized damsel in distress. You really see the character impersonator's face, and I like how her image is in a mirror, held (clearly) by the Dragon.Ĭharacters: Rose Red is a much better protagonist than Una in Heartless. ![]() ![]() Cover Blurb: Yes or No? Even though the girl looks nothing like Rose Red, I do like the cover. ![]()
