Bloody Rose is a fun return to the world of Kings of the Wyld. Eames struck gold with the first book, ad easily could have played the joke up again and again in sequels. Luckily, he didn't, and went in a different direction. Bloody Rose still retains the fun characters, over-the-top world, and humor of the first book, but takes sharp dramatic turns where Kings of the Wyld usually would have remained lighthearted. Our protagonists, although not as immediately grabbing as Kings of the Wylds', grow on you over time, especially the titular character. I continue to look forward to anything Eames puts out. 8/10.
