The Blood Rose Rebellion trilogy has successfully juggled magic, revolution, and history through the story of 17-year-old British aristocrat Anna Arden, and it continues in this third and final volume. After her sister's London debut is ruined by Anna's fumbled magic, her grandmother takes the disgraced young woman home to Hungary, where she is supposed to be lying low. Instead, the intrepid Anna falls in love with dashing Gábor, fends off advances from numerous suitors, frees the praetheria (hybrid magical creatures) from a powerful spell, and helps engineer a rebellion. Alternating chapters from Anna and her cousin Mátyás provide different viewpoints of the turmoil, much of which builds on actual history, as noted in Eves' extensive bibliography. A character guide and descriptions of the different praetheria will help refresh series fans who may have forgotten some details, but this title is not intended to stand alone. It does, however, provide a full and satisfying conclusion to the many plot threads so ably spun throughout the series.--Debbie Carton Copyright 2019 Booklist
