The White Rose

The books in this story keep getting better. This was another page-turner that I couldn't put down. A lot more of the world got explained as characters fleshed out as Croaker and the company went on the offensive against the Lady, and later, against the Dominator.

As before, the author does a good job of both hiding and revealing plots twists. A few I was able to figure out ahead of time, but one big one (Corbie) I didn't get until it dropped on my head. I really enjoyed reading the tale of Bomanz (the wizard who accidentally released the Lady, according to legend). The epic conclusion to the Lady vs the Dominator would work wonderfully as a movie, and I couldn't have been happier with the result of the struggle.

I'm excited to continue the narrative for the next set in the series - but worried, how can it live up to this grand conclusion!?
