not a great second book

**contains a plof spoiler**

yes I enjoyed it..but not sure i would recommend it...the story seemed to drag no where for most of the book...in the end it all led somewhere but the whole time i was wondering what was going on...they toured...then toured some more...then did more touring...then stopped touring...the humour was brilliant and i loved most of the characters..cried like a baby when Gabe was killed...Katherine's narration was spot on...but on a whole this second book doesn't even come close to the brilliance of the first book.

Just as good as Kings of the Wyld

I can only assume a fair amount of the negativity I see is related to the change of cast and narrator. In my honost opinion the book has all the same things that made Kings of the Wyld great with the same wit, refrencial nature, writing quality and character interations. While Clay Cooper remains my favorite character from the series so far and I did miss Saga at times, Rose, Tam and the rest of Fable are strong characters in their own right and more than worthy successors for me.

Enjoyed narration, good story.

After listening to Kings of the Wyld with its fantastic narration by Jeff Harding and then the reviews of Bloody Rose I was sceptical to purchase but I was more than pleasantly surprised! The key to enjoyment is to take it as a completely separate story with some added bonuses of characters you have met before popping up like old friends. Again Nicholas Eames has shaped words into beautiful art as if he were a bard himself. Narration was great, Katherine Fenton did a great job and was a good listening speed. One very small critique which seems to happen a lot with changes in narrators is the altered pronunciation of names which is distracting to the story. Admittedly only a few of these came up and I got used to them reasonably quickly.

I preferred Kings but still great.

Great book but I found I was longing for Saga characters to appear. If the next book is set in the same world, I will be longing for a glimpse of Fable.
Eames is a very talented writer and I look forward to whatever is next.

Man, it made me feel things

I like this, I like this a lot. Though I miss the subtle lisp of Moog, Katherine made every suspenseful moment a slash coated in humour and emotion weight. You can’t do this to me man, you’re making me feel emotions. I don’t know how to criticise novels but dude was it great. Thanks for the epic tales Eames!

Not very good.

I enjoyed the Kings of the Wilde. Unfortunately there really wasn’t much I enjoyed about its follow up . The storyline, the characters, the narration. I found myself disinterested in the outcome and was unable to finish the book.
Disappointing.

Sequel is never as good

Story is ok but it is not anywhere near as good as the first book. I found having a female reading the story made it extremely difficult to keep up with which character was speaking. I didn’t actually finish this book as it just became tedious.

Skip This One Unless You're Totally Bored

I honestly don't know who this book is for.

If you liked Kings of the Wild? Skip it. It's basically a juvenile rehash of all the same things, but complete with a hundred overused fantasy tropes about teenagers becoming amazing archers in a couple of weeks.

The story is trite and predictable, none of the characters are likeable or interesting, and the narration is extremely poor with the VA having about... two voices for all the male characters and three for the females?

A weak fan fiction version of the original. Avoid

Way to kill your career, author. Just read King's of the Wyld and stop there.
