Victor Tanasa a dat nota:

I didn't like how the first 150 to 200 pages of Bloody Rose were spent wandering from city to city, mostly focusing on fights I know the band will win, all the while getting minimum character development, and all this at the expense of the main plotline. I also found the "old guys getting the band together again" from the first book more fun and interesting than the "I want to get out of my father's shadow" trope used here. At times, there were way too many descriptions of the monsters the band is facing, which bored and made me want to skip those passages. On the plus side, the good mix of humor and serious themes is still there. A solid follow-up, although I enjoyed Kings of the Wyld much more.

Recenzii

[Eames] writes the kind of fantasy that is both immensely satisfying and deeply human . . . Kings of the Wyld was fun, but Bloody Rose is gods-damned epic . . . one of the best books of the year
I laughed and wept and worried a lot and had the most tremendous time reading Bloody Rose. Eames is a gifted and entertaining storyteller
Bloody Rose is bloody brilliant! It is a book that will make you remember why you fell in love with reading in the first place . . . proves without a shadow of a doubt that Nicholas Eames is one of the best in the new generation of modern fantasy writers
Exceeded my already high expectations
I was a big fan of Kings of the Wyld, but I think Bloody Rose has actually topped it. Eames once again hits the perfect balance of humor and heart, irreverent references and real emotion. The characters are great, the adventure is epic, and he's slowly deepening the worldbuilding in a way that has me eager for more
Eames joyfully mashes rock music elements and epic fantasy tropes to create the equivalent of a 500-page heavy-metal guitar solo: loud, frenetic, unpredictable, and gripping . . . [A] glorious romp worthy of multiple encores
This is one f*cking great read . . . easily one of my favourite novels of the past few years
Delivered on every level possible, and then some . . . Once again, Eames' writing simply shines . . . I seriously cannot wait to see what adventures Eames has in store for his characters next
A heartfelt read, with a beautiful world and a cast I deeply connected with. Eames' narrative voice is one of the best in this generation of fantasy authors, and I cannot wait to read everything else he puts out
Kings of the Wyld is a joy and Bloody Rose is just as good. Exciting, entertaining and a hell of a lot of fun . . . I loved every page
A power-chord fantasy overflowing with attitude
Eames is the one to watch who will end up in Rothfuss, Lynch, Martin territory for excellence
One of the best sequels of all time . . . this is a must read with an infinite exclamation mark!

Notă biografică

Nicholas Eames was born to parents of infinite patience and unstinting support in Wingham, Ontario. Though he attended college for theatre arts, he gave up acting to pursue the much more attainable profession of 'epic fantasy novelist.' Kings of the Wyld was his first novel. Nicholas loves black coffee, neat whiskey, the month of October, and video games. He currently lives in Ontario, Canada, and is very probably writing at this moment.
