abaugher's review against another edition
5.0
Shorter than his other books but with more artwork, this is a story of a man serving Hell in order to get his freedom and find the woman he loves and wronged over a hundred years ago. Kinda reminded me of the first Dark Tower novel, and a Stephen King aficionado agreed with me.

I thought I would like this a lot more than I did. It was fun and most of the art was great, but it really didn't good for me until the end and then it kinda dropped off. I get why he ended it the way he did but I definitely didn't expect that. It made the book more about the main character's transformation than a "quest".

Another magnificent story from Brom. This one is a story of the search for lost love and redemption, and done in the wonderful visual style that I've started to become familiar with when reading Brom. And of course, his gorgeous pieces of art throughout the book really make the story come alive.

While waiting on The Child Thief to come from ILL, I figured I'd check out stuff by Brom that the library actually owns. Imagine Roland Deschain if he was after souls who've escaped from Hell rather than the Dark Tower. The artwork is spectacular. While I don't care at all for the whole Cole/Rose romance, I liked the rest of the story well enough. The dragon on the second to last page would make an exquisite tattoo; if I didn't already have one (that I vaguely regret) on the back of my neck, I would so get this there.

I just read Lost Gods and realized I didn't have this on my Goodreads shelf. I read it a while ago, but Lost Gods kind of reminded me of Devil's Rose. A shorter story, much more of that delicious artwork, but a similar theme of coming back from the dead to protect your love despite the horrors of hell you may have to face to do so.
