Bloody Rose: The Band, Book Two

Product Information

Such miraculous transformations are met with cries of exaltation by the recipient's fellow warriors, for they know that Mina's soul is inhabiting the body of that blessed sister.

I’m really not sure, I guess if you liked the first book and thought it was OK then you’ll hope that the sequel will either be OK too or maybe better. The end of the last book leads into this and some old friends come back and there is laughter, drinking , sacrifice and sorrow along the way. Tam is not Clay Cooper (POV character for KOTW), experienced mercenary who sees his bandmates as just people.KoTW featuring Saga its grizzled, legendary and past its heyday band is one of my all-time favourite books and I will continue to shout its praises for all to hear. What few records survived through the Reign of Blood suggest that she served as Alicia Dominica's champion, and that when the reformer Sebastian Thor's armies descended upon Terra she slew some of the mightiest invading warriors in hand-to-hand combat. Tam had never seen a cockatrice, but she knew enough about them to know that the thing in the cage was not a cockatrice. Tam joins the legendary band (the term in Eames’ books given to adventuring parties, as they are treated like rock stars within the world) Fable as a bard to record the tales of their accomplishments.

The gang incorporates a witch who can summon her tattooed demons into the field of battle, a legendary immortal rabbit-eared warrior and a shapeshifter who can turn into a bear. Months of waiting for this moment culminate into a blissful grin as the band finally takes the stage. Brune’s angst takes a more visceral conflict, but manages to mirror his bandmates and perhaps even become cathartic for them. Fable is comprised of Bloody Rose herself, the plot device of Kings of the Wyld whom we only ever met towards the end, her druin lover Freecloud, Cura, named the Inkwitch for the magical tattoos that cover her entire body, and Brune, a big bear of a man who can turn into, you guessed it, a large bear. The key difference that keeps Bloody Rose from turning into a reference-fest is that the underlying story works even if you take away all the jokes and Easter eggs.That’s the Rebel’s Redoubt,” Tam said, before this idiot could tell her something else she already knew.
