Meet Simmonne Mandrake, the Imperial Rose: a powerful princess, the Solar Emperor’s youngest child. When …show more content…
Considering that humans in the book could live for several thousand years, I’m not exaggerating. Even the Solar Emperor has been on his throne for over three millennia. Robert, at his 200 or so years, is considered rather young. When Robert met with his old master, and they began sparring with their swords, I had a sense of déjà vu. I remembered similar interactions between Luke Skywalker and Yoda in Star Wars. The detailed descriptions of various ships reminded me of many Star-Trek episodes. And the large-scale battles gave me a sense of reading about Battlestar Galactica. The main characters, both good and evil, are well-fleshed out. Robert is the typical hero: he is always doing the honorable thing and fighting the enemy to save the princess - even if it means dying in the process. Simmonne is sweet and honest; however, at times I felt that the author depicted her as a weak female in a world dominated by men. Oul’sor, Robert’s worthy enemy, is blinded by
In my opinion I thought that this book was a very good book. In this chapter I will describe the setting, theme, plot and conflict etc. This book had a few different settings like

Main Characters: Vianne Mauriac: After her mother’s death and her father’s abandonment, she pushed her sister away and became quiet and weak. She is a simple wife who cares for her family. When the war started, she was forced to become strong and make impossible decisions to keep her family alive. Isabelle Rossignol: Rebellious and often as people say, impetuous, Isabelle had always been reckless and getting in and out of trouble.
The best part of this book are the interesting and engaging characters. One of the most interesting characters
I really enjoy how the story starts. The setting is well described and detailed. I don’t like Lord Henry at all. What kind of person he is, his marriage is a farce and doesn’t try to hide it. It seems he is just married because of how society required a man to. It’s as if he doesn’t even care about his wife.
Being a shy bit short of 200 pages the book has a very straightforward storytelling, without boring you to death with chapters upon chapters of side-stories and non-consequential secondary characters, making it the ideal read for one of those weekends where you are craving for an adventure.
The characters are well developed and likeable. The princess was oblivious and slightly annoying at times, but as the story progressed I got to see her strength come through in a realistic way. Marek is definitely a lovable underdog and I enjoyed rooting for him, Selena, and their friends.
Overall, the book is really good and sticks to those three main ideas of courage, weakness and truth throughout it. As both a reader and a writer (I write my own little novels) this book is really goods and i would recommend it to anyone who asks
Strong The plot engages my interest. Fair This novel is written in a style that is clear and interesting.
What are you noticing about the plot, characters,
For an example, the portrayal of Beatrice and Hero, the discussion used and what they say, how the characters say it, and what the other characters say about them and Hero's quietness are all significant in showing their characters. In a similar way, their actions and what the
The characterization of this story and the conflict are very very closely related. The characters are very well described and their emotions and feelings and even looks are explained down to the smallest detail and its paint the clearest picture in the reader's head. Also, the conflict is extremely intricate and detailed and that makes the book so much fun to read because you will never know what to expect next. These two things are also remarkable intertwined with each other and each one builds off the other. At the beginning of the book, the reader already knows a little about the characters since it is the third book but as the story continues and the conflict grows the characters learn more about themselves and the reader learns more about the characters and everything just keeps building and building until the climax of the book. The other two very strong points in the book are it isn't point of view and its plot development. The pov of this book is third person. I think that this third person pov is so powerful to the book because it is almost like in

In the story, each characters have their own personality and most of the character ’s external just match with their personality.
