Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.
Rogue is my favourite mutant, she has been since I was four years old. Remy has been a close favourite as well which is really good considering he has such a prominent role in this! This book is full of x-men cameos which is great and was when I realised who they were, I was grinning from ear to ear. While I would say there are a few creative liberties (which is to be expected with a book rather than a comic/graphic novel), it was a fun read and I read it within a day of getting the book. I wonder if there are any more books that have some of the characters in this.
A warning, I guess: I would definitely say this is an AU as I believe it rewrites some of her backstory.

I’ve always liked Rogue as a character after seeing her in some of the X-Men films and I think it’s awesome that she gets her own extra chance to shine in her very own book! I love that this is a book based on her and her story, as it brings something different aside from the comics and movies. I do love reading novels about the comic book characters, especially when they’re done well!
This was brilliant and I loved the story. The plot was great and it was so easy to get into from the get go. I quickly warmed to Rogues character and became invested into the progression and story and couldn’t put it down.
It’s one of those addicting reads that you can just keep reading and reading and then you’ve finished before you know it. It’s effortlessly easy to read through and has everything in it that makes for a great entertaining story.
Great characters, great plot, love interest and a plight to overcome. It’s also Rogues journey to self discovery, from working out where she fits in the world and figuring out about herself along the way, as she’s tested, finds out about her powers and what being apart of the Mutant world really entails. I also thought it was great reading about how she got her name and overcame battles she was facing. She didn’t half get herself into some scrapes!
I thought this book was really well done, although having not read any of the comics I can’t compare novel and comic Rogues but I loved my encounter with her in this story. It’s filled with action, drama and many a twist and turn that I didn’t forsee and I loved it from start to finish!

Without realising I thought this to be a graphic comic book when I clicked to review. In a way Im glad that it was a traditional book. I personally am not an X-men fan however this made reading this book so much easier. I had no clue on the back stories of the characters and this made this story more enjoyable. I personally think this could become a graphic novel pretty easily.
The story itself was engaging enough that I read 90% in 1 day and proceeded to read the next morning when I woke up. I felt connected to Rogue and understood what she was going through 'finding herself'. The story had action, excitement and a little romance, however Rogue found what she needed in the end and that was a family (all be in mutant). A very enjoyable relaxing read.
