Rebel Rose: 1 (Queen's Council) Hardcover – 10 Nov. 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Torn between two worlds, neither of which she truly belongs...
Happily ever after is only the beginning as Belle takes on the responsibility of becoming queen and learns to balance duty, love, and sacrifice, all while navigating dark political intrigue--and a touch of magic.
It's 1789, and France is on the brink of revolution. Belle has broken the enchantress's curse, restoring the Beast to his human form and bringing life back to their castle in the principality of Aveyon. But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep.
Not so very long ago, Belle dreamed of leaving her provincial home for a life of adventure. Now she finds herself living in a lush palace, torn between her past as a commoner and her future as royalty. While Belle grapples with her newfound position, there are those who would do anything to keep her from power.
When she stumbles across a magic mirror that holds a dire warning, Belle wants nothing more than to ignore the mysterious voice calling her to accept a crown she never desired. But violent factions of the revolution may already be lurking within her own castle, and doing nothing would endanger everything she holds dear. With the fate of her country, her love, and her life at stake, Belle must decide if she is ready to embrace her own strength--and the magic that ties her to so many female rulers before her--to become the queen she is meant to be.
Rebel Rose continues the story of one of Disney's most beloved classic Beauty and the Beast. It is the first in the Queen's Council series, an empowering fairy tale reimagining of the Disney Princesses--and the real history behind their stories--like you've never seen before.

About the author

Emma Theriault was born and raised in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, and thus has a penchant for gothic revival architecture and a constant craving for Beavertails. She has been everything from an enthusiastic bookseller (who once sold a book to Prime Minister Trudeau) to a purveyor of whitewater rafting adventures in the Interior of British Columbia. When not writing books about curses and blood magic, she can be found eating burritos, hiking with her boyfriend or cuddling with her cats, Gatsby and Harriet.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2021Great item. Fast delivery.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2021Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, was such a gripping story. Honestly didn't put it down and finshed reading it over a couple of days. Would 100% recommend, can't wait for the next one.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2021I bought this for a friend, but read it first (because I was nosy. Belle (soon to be queen) faces a new challenge when her husband must go to court.
It has a decent premise and the book is full of adventure; it has a new ‘Gaston’ and Belle faces the troubles of married life and the difficulties of royalty - the witch reappears as well (what would this story be without the enchantress)?
To be honest, I thought it was a bit predictable. I would have liked to have seen Rebel Rose tackle the feminism issue with a bit more subtlety, not from the perspective of ‘human beast is listening to his male friends, ugh, now the woman has to save the day’... This was already done in Beauty and the Beast and the sequel could have done something a little different.
On saying this, the characters were fabulous, and the adventures within the book engaging. My friend loved it.
SPOILER: IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING

3.0 out of 5 stars Inaspettato.
Riprende la storia de La Bella e La Bestia da dove i film Disney l’hanno lasciata, unendo elementi sia del lungometraggio di animazione sia del film in live action.
La storia è profondamente calata nel contesto reale della rivoluzione francese, forse anche troppo, visto che di fatto gli intrighi politici ed i riferimenti storici lasciano poco spazio allo spirito originario della favola e degli adattamenti Disney che abbiamo amato.
Belle è un personaggio pieno di dubbi ed insicurezze che riesce a trovare tuttavia la forza per vincere su sé stessa e sulle avversità; il Principe che fu la Bestia è forse dipinto un po’ a margine, ma l’autrice ha cercato di riproporre lo struggimento che ha in origine reso profondissimo il suo personaggio. Ci è riuscita in parte. Il romanticismo trova poco posto in Rebel Rose, incentrato com’è su tutt’altre dinamiche… nulla di male, se non che, davvero, c’è troppo poco in comune con ciò che fa de ‘La Bella e la Bestia’ quello che è.
Dunque, è un buon romanzo, anche avvincente e molto apprezzabile, ma ci si aspetterebbe tutt’altro.
3.5⭐️
