Bloody Rose
Bloody Rose | Nicholas Eames
Live fast, die young. Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown. When the biggest mercenary band of all rolls into town, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants - and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death. It's time to take a walk on the wyld side. For more from Nicholas Eames, check out Kings of the Wyld.

Second book in The Band series. It can be read as a standalone, though.

Bloody Rose and her band are travelling north to fulfil a contract, instead of fighting The Hoard which is threatening the kingdoms again. The band, Fable, has a new bard who cannot decide whether she wants to be a bard or a merc.

It was interesting being back in the realms of this series, but I liked Kings of the Wyld a bit more.

1st Wedding Anniversary road trip to Dawson City, YT, 🇨🇦

Day 1: Kenai Peninsula to Glennallen

Husband and I are listening to Bloody Rose, which is super special because he doesn‘t prefer audiobooks while driving. I‘m liking Tam but don‘t immediately love the novel as much as Kings of the Wyld. It isn‘t as laugh at out funny?

While it's true that romantic relationships & familial bonds (especially dysfunctional ones) abound in literature, it's the friendships that are often striking to me. Pictured are just a few of my favorite #bestfriends from a few of my favorite books. #ithadtobeyou @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

Reading an Eames book: Alright, a kick ass fantasy adventure! Wow, these characters seem complex. I'm connecting with them on a deep level. Wow, this is hilarious. Huh, that was a little heavy. Still funny though! Wait, no, stop...why am I tearing up? What is this brutal social commentary that's hitting me right in the gut. St WHY AM I SOBBING!? MY HEART IS SO FULL OF LOVE AND PAIN AND EMOTION I'M NOT SURE I'LL RECOVER FROM...Hehe owlbears.

I really missed Eames's unique sense of humor and dnd-esque writing and the sequel to Kings of the Whyld did not disappoint! I really enjoyed Rose's band of mercenaries and how all the members are explored in detail at different points of the story. Tam isn't as interesting a protagonist compared to Clay Cooper, but she grew on me by the end.

For today‘s #tarottakeover I chose Rose from Bloody Rose. Rose spends the entire book putting all her focus on out doing her Fathers Legacy and being bigger and better than he ever was, that she ends up severely pushing some very important people in her life to the shadows and never getting the chance to fully embrace them like she could have.

Erinsuereads Oh dang that's totally heartbreaking! 4y
Sweetkokoro @ErinSueMreads Oh you have no idea, if you haven‘t read this series it‘s amazing. And this book alone is heart wrenching. But to really get hit with them feels you gotta read book 1 first! 4y
Meaw_catlady Oo looks like a great story!! And a great choice for the card! 🖤 4y

It took me a little while to get into this one but once things tied together with the first installment things really got good. We follow the next generation of mercs as opposed to the veterans going up against another world ending horde. Good times.

Currently Reading this book -- and it's not standing up to book 1. That was a great book! I'm 30% into this one and still waiting for something to happen. It seems like there's more mystery involved in this story compared to the first. I am not a fan.

Day 13 Prompt: #madeyoucry
I‘m a big softy and there are tons of books that made me Cry. But this book takes the cake.
Chapter 43, Left me in a complete mess. Every emotion in me was running wild, I had to literally stop & pull myself together after what happened in this book, it hurt so much. It‘s heart wrenching but like I said before written so beautifully. I also broken down a 2nd time at the end. So many things tore at my heart

Day 11 Prompt : #Shocked
I know most people are doing theirs based on bios & author facts & such but I had 2 stories that really threw a shocker at me, I picked Bloody Rose to share. **MAJOR SPOILER** The Death of Golden Gabe left me completely torn, broken and emotionally drained, I did not see it coming. It was heartbreaking. Yet the entire death and the aftermath of how everyone responded to the death was written so beautifully. #30junebooks

Alexander_Meng Hi. I loved Kind of the Wyld. It was hysterically funny 😂 LOLed several times. Didn't know there was a sequel, but have to get it ASAP!! 5y
pasiphae_reads @Alexander_Meng I haven‘t read it yet!! The cover of this one is what caught my attention (it‘s so badass), and the author said the books can be read as standalones. However, I can definitely tell there are events/characters from the first book, so I do sorta regret not reading it first. But I‘ll do so sometime after reading BR because it‘s really good!! Fantastic world-building. 5y
Alexander_Meng Didn't see your comment until now. Think you should give it a go, I just couldn't put it down. Yes, great world-building but also hysterical! Which is a delight when reading a fantasy book... they tend to be very serious most of the time. 5y

I'm having mixed feelings about this book. I'm constantly comparing this with The Kings of The Wyld, and the first book win big time. I just don't like Rose, she has this suicidal tendencies, given by her obsession to defeat her father's reputation and basically she's killing everyone because of it. But at the end of the book, i think i kinda get her and i guess sometimes you have to lose it all to understand the things you value most

Yaaaas! I'm FINALLY starting this tonight! 🤗

The monster market is like any other market...except...well...it sells monsters (obvi).

Anyways, it would be a pretty friggen cool place to visit me thinks! Just as long as everything stays caged up or tied down like it's supposed to be.

Nevermind the man in the corner over there trying to pass off his painted chicken as a Manticore.

He ain't fooling no one. 🐔

I completed Bloody Rose three Days ago and All I have to say is WOW. It‘s starts out rather calm but half way through your emotions start getting hit like a whirlwind frenzy. Chapter 43 was without a doubt the most beautifully written chapter I have ever read that dealt with a loss. Eames was able to capture so many different types of emotions people feel when tragedies strike, I wept through the whole chapter. Please read this series!
