Write a reviewAn amazing construct, this sequel is legit starting off with a fiery beginning, I am more intrigued with Empress Yang's villainous character that has just gotten better and better every day.
Roses of Blood : The Magnificent Century jus surpasses any Cruel Palace drama that I have ever watched or read as there isn't another story in which you find the most desperate and extreme characters that get you over your head.
The most enthralling tale of ill fated romances and most brilliant picture of Palace politics, I am not a fan but the sequel swept me away with its intense weight portrayed in the now mature but more conniving characters and man, these schemes are top notch.
The realest Game of Thrones and the bloodiest that I have ever seen, this story is the best when it comes to execution, dialogues, emotions, politics and obsessions that become poisonous addictions.
In this intense fight to retain her absolute power, Empress Yang has proven to be the real goddess of fire, nothing's got me hooked like the way she charges headstrong towards her enemy and I thought that the sequel has much to do to keep up with its prequel but it has greatly surpassed my expectations.
Where in the world is there a Palace where you enter as an ordinary slave girl seeking asylum and vengeance and become the most powerful Queen who rules the world, this is an epic battle that I can't stop loving because of just that.
From Rugs to riches, from Grass to Grace, I just have never seen characters so exciting and real, masterpieces of their own that keep you drawn in so you won't get out
A fine paced and dramatic tale of cruelty and passions, ambitions and virtue all blended Perfectly, there has never been for me a character as tragic and magnificently daring as the Empress Yang, she could go overboard every time and also do what you'd least expect from her as a protagonist but you'll still love her for these faults the most.
Mature dialogues and lovely sayings, if you are someone that loves proverbs, idioms and poems then this is the best story you could find that gives you an elaborate construct of that moving prose and poetry.
Such beauty that is poisonous, I can't help it but praise the fact that the story is so unpredictable and it feels like every scene is just a bullet that gets you from nowhere while I am enamored by the fact that the way the entire plot is executed makes me feel like I am definitely living everything that I am reading.
Characters that are willing to do anything in the world to get what they want, this isn't just about how hard or long it takes but how much they can hold on, you love, you hate and keep moving.
Certainly the most intense political, historical romantic novel and also very loveable in every aspect be it scheming concubines, Princes and politicians.
This is by far the best novel that I have ever read and I admire the chemistry of the main couples And the tough bromance, intense political drama and the character make up
A TOUCH OF SWEET FEROCITY This is one wonderful story that details the bloodiness of power struggles for the throne, alas after so long this second installment having drawn to its conclusion after months of uncertainty and pressure, by the time I realised I was captivated it was too late to resist the temptation of stopping to read it.
This Is Amazing. ROSES OF BLOOD: THE MAGNIFICENT CENTURY produces the best characters that I have ever seen. It is in deed the most magnificent construct of how every character is basically operating at their extreme.
Complicated Characters surviving beyond their breaking points. I have never seen a brazen, a diligent a common but original work like this, what I find more interesting though is the fact that every word within every dialogue and every chapter even though catching me by surprise never ceases to entertain.
This is one of the best cruel palace politics and harem stories that I have ever seen. Honestly I have seen those stories of a main lead who survives as a good person but what makes this my favourite is I have a main lead who gradually evolves to becoming the main villain yet I still love them for that.
I really love this story and to be honest, from the original plot to the captivating characters its legit🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

After the long wait alas I was happy when I heard that the sequel for ROSES OF BLOOD was out, it's outstandingly remarkable and the drama and Palace politics are more intense, but what keeps me more intrigued with this story is that I didn't see it coming that our protagonist would now turn into the main villain this time round😘🥳🥳🥳🥳
