Bloody Rose: The Band, Book Two: The Band
Autor Nicholas Eamesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2018
Apreciem modul în care Bloody Rose reușește să redefinească vocea narativă a fantasy-ului modern prin introducerea perspectivei lui Tam Hashford, o tânără dornică să schimbe rutina unei taverne pe gloria incertă a drumului. Dacă în primul volum al seriei The Band am explorat nostalgia unor veterani, aici Găsim o energie vibrantă, aproape electrică, ce transformă expediția de mercenari într-un veritabil turneu rock & roll. Structura romanului este construită în jurul ideii că magia și monștrii din 'The Wyld' nu sunt doar obstacole, ci parte dintr-un spectacol sângeros unde banzii (mercenarii) sunt idolatrizați de mase.
Credem că elementul distinctiv al acestui volum este sistemul social unic: Nicholas Eames a creat o lume unde luptele cu creaturi fantastice sunt gestionate de impresari, iar succesul se măsoară în balade și faimă. Imaginați-vă tensiunea și camaraderia întunecată din Chronicles of the Black Company, mutată într-un decor de festival rock itinerant, unde fiecare bătălie are ritmul unui solo de chitară. Comparativ cu The Boneless Mercies, unde moartea este o meserie tăcută și feminină, în Bloody Rose aventura este zgomotoasă, brutală și plină de un umor ireverențios care nu sacrifică însă profunzimea emoțională a personajelor.
Poziționată în contextul operei sale, această carte consolidează stilul început în Kings of the Wyld, dar ridică mizele. Nicholas Eames demonstrează că poate păstra echilibrul perfect între parodie și omagiu adus genului epic, oferind o poveste despre moștenire și prețul celebrității într-o lume care nu iartă greșelile.

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.

Despre autor
Nicholas Eames s-a născut în Ontario, Canada, și a studiat artele teatrale înainte de a se dedica scrisului. Această pregătire în dramaturgie se reflectă în dialogurile sale vii și în construcția scenică a romanelor sale. Debutul său, Kings of the Wyld, a fost primit cu entuziasm, câștigând premiul Gemmell pentru cel mai bun debut în 2018. Eames este recunoscut pentru capacitatea de a infuza genul epic fantasy cu o sensibilitate modernă, fiind un pasionat de cafea neagră, jocuri video și atmosfera lunii octombrie, elemente care îi hrănesc creativitatea în timp ce locuiește și scrie în Ontario.

Recenzii
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!
