2.0

Given the premise of the book, we're under the impression that the Black Bouquet is an item of immense power or influence in the world. What we discover however, is that the Black Bouquet is a relic of no special import or significance. It's a book. An important book, but not a book that has the ability to change the world one way or another.

I really enjoyed the end though. Normally and naturally the rogue in the book turns over a new leaf in the end, taking their first steps along the path of good and honesty, and we the reader usually want them to go that way. But this one was refreshing. The rogue remains a rogue, continuing along his path of honorable dishonesty despite how often he almost dies in this one endeaver alone. Refreshing to say the least.

if it wasn't so misleading from the book jacket, I might have enjoyed this better. All in all it wasn't bad, but it could have been better.
