The battle for the future of Ttereve continues as Thorne is forced to grapple with demons from his past. After a cruel betrayal from a trusted ally, Rose and Ila are separated from their companions and in a fight for their lives. Magic itself hangs in the balance as Drucilla destroys everything and everyone in her path.
If I had a criticism for this issue, as with any book within this title, it simply ends too soon – but always with a cliffhanger making us wanting more. Rose was a girl who is vulnerable, inexperienced to the toxicity of Drucilla's lies and ruthlessness, and yet this story opens her to the corruption which she must now fight. Ila has shown her the way and now pushes her into an uncertain future as if she is a young fledgling just learning to fly. You want to take her by the hand to guide her, but at the same time, in the back of your mind, the reader knows life isn't always that easy. Will these actions shatter her confidence or only make her stronger? It isn't the uncertainty of knowing which makes the wait painful … it's the trauma of leaving this suspenseful open wound to linger without treatment – and the only known cure is the next issue of Rose. Why are the best things in life so traumatizing when you have to wait so long? Read Full Review
I wasn't sure what to think of this series at first and wasn't too fond of it but thanks to issue #3 and Rose #4 I'm fully on board. Read Full Review
Rose #4 is an exciting and adrenaline-fuelled ride that keeps on going. Things are accelerating at a fast rate, forcing us to learn and discover the lore as the story unfolds. Whilst we have established Rose's motivations and character, I would really like to see and learn more about Drucilla. For me, she is a mysterious, maniacal ice queen, who likes to hide out in her tower of doom. Who is she? Why does she do these things? These are things, a stickler like me needs to know!
