Sweetbitter Song

The story follows the gods, their children and also those who work under them (which they call them slaves, but for me I am really not comfortable calling them that. Call me old fashioned I guess if that is what it is), we also follow their ways and how they do things in their kingdoms.

Melantho is the main character that we meet in this story, she is one of the slaves at the palace. Her personality is one of many things that has drawn to make me like her, she is hard working, stubborn, kind, caring and friendly. While this story is about her and a lot of other things, we also meet the gods, princesses etc in this story. And also watch her become best friends with the princess (or so one would think)

She meets Penelope after she is chosen for the god and then forms a friendship that is special, sometimes things aren't as they seem. But further down the track we learn that their friendship is still there, after Penelope chooses her. Penelope just wants her friend to be happy, but this takes awhile for her to realise that it isn't all bad where she lives.

There is a "a lot" of parts of this book where you will be put on edge holding tight wondering 'OMG" and "ohh please no no no" and other sayings, I can tell you now I was sure put on edge in a few places that is a fact.

When the group attempts at an escape, things aren't exactly as they would seem especially when they are "punished" this bit here made me want to cry. At this part in time they don't realise that their lives are about to change, that her and her families life could be something better or maybe not, but you will find out whether this is a true fact as you carry on reading. Will it be for the good, or for the bad?

Is Melantho & Penelope's relationship just a friendship, or do they love each other more than friends?? Well this is something that went through my mind for quite awhile, the answer well read along and find out... Yeah if you thought I was going to tell you, then please think again hehe I am leaving you to read.

This story is actually really unputdownable, it's one of them once you start reading for a session you can't stop. How do I know of this? Well last night (17th April) I was reading and then I realised the time was about 2.30am (yeah I really should have been sleeping).

The war that is mentioned in this book, i'm really unsure about this if I have read it in the few books that are on this plot with the gods. So I cannot relate to any information about it, are there other books that cover the war? Please do let me know some books.

OMG I have to admit though, all of the plot twists that are in this book have had me on edge! I am at about 60 ish pages left and I am already one again in complete utter shock over what it happening.

Eeeek that ending, I did not expect that at all. If you haven't read this yet then I really do think that you should.

I wouldn't normally read this kind of fantasy, but I'll admit that it was a really good read. I enjoyed it and cannot wait to see what else Rosie has written to look into on kindle.
