Bloody Rose

Monster horde returns

Features the same great style, atmosphere and a few cool characters from the first book and short, to the point intro—the first fight against a giant, dangerous monster is around page 50. However it feels a bit more overwhelming compared to the first book with too many events in parallel which can feel chaotic. And there’s a very annoyingly curious main character.

Even though there are still a few really large, epic battles, overall it's much less about epic and more about dramas and tragedies and mysteries about everyone. And the ending is nice, hinting at new adventures.

I hope the next book is a bit less tragic.
