my three-star Goodreads review of the Rose Field: “Could have been much shorter or much longer and had exactly the same effect. It's a bunch of adventures. Some characters deserved more pages, others needed fewer. Very little is resolved; for the conclusion of an epic, it's not much of one. The metaphors are ... heavy and ok, but don't make up for lack of real stakes in the story. (I should have re-read The Secret Commonwealth, as this picks up exactly where that left off.)”
