The White Rose by Glen Cook

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I feel weird continuously giving five stars to this series, but they have all been so good. The White Rose fits behind Shadows Linger as my second favorite so far. 

I enjoyed the mystery of the first half and the three different POV characters. The ending was incredible, I was glued to the page for the last third of the book. 

Darling and the Lady are the stars here, not surprisingly. I liked seeing Darling take a leadership role and Croaker and the Lady’s relationship was weird but enjoyable.

I know the series continues and I’m curious as to where, but this was the perfect ending to the first arc.
