![]() ![]() ![]() Rose contains many elements familiar to fantasy readers: folks gathering in caves with magical intentions dragons, spells and charms loyal four-legged and furred and feathered companions raging rivers a hooded nemesis and many betrayals.īut there is at least one element of the story that truly surprised me.Īnd it was one that shocked my 11-year-old Buried-in-Print girl. I didn’t have to relate to Caspar the Friendly Ghost at all, but to Rose, a young woman whose story was anchored by a kinda-familiar-sounding quest arc. I was pretty sure that this would not be a series I would enjoy as an adult reader.īut part of the success, I think, was that I began by reading Rose, which was written in 2002, but which serves as a prequel to the Bone series. He looks like Caspar the Friendly Ghost, eh?And even though Caspar was one of my favourite characters when I was seven years old, I’m not seven years old. ![]()
