What an ending! Peter McLean has given the resolution that everyone deserved here, bittersweet and uncomfortable as it is. I have read few series that have managed the landing as well as this one!
The War for the Rose Throne is not praised any where near enough - easily one of the top series I have had the pleasure of reading in the last couple of years. The insidiousness of power and allusions to real life corruption saturate story. And whilst the characters are frequently morally bankrupt you cannot help but cheer them on. Gritty, dark and visceral, this story needs to be read by all lovers of the darker end of fantasy. Tomas Piety is an antihero for the ages, his moral compass definitely a bit screwed up but entirely understandable and relatable.
I do not want to give away anything from the story here, all I can say is YOU SHOULD READ THESE BOOKS!
