Une rose et un balai

Product Information

My main issue with the book is that, while we finally learn how and why spoiler spoiler spoiler events mentioned in Revelations happened (very interesting indeed, thank thee kindly and stuff), the story itself drags in places (👋 waves at Hilfred's POVs 👋). This installment also seems to be suffering from Mild to Moderate Middle Book Syndrome (M³BS™), with lots of set-up for the next book. Or maybe the problem is simply that we already know—well those who have read Revelations do 😬— where the events in this book ultimately lead to, which kind of kills the suspense and excitement and stuff. Or maybe everyone else I just read the book wrong. Note: Deep red colored leaves may be totally normal, as the new growth on many rose bushes starts out with a deep red coloration and then turns to green. The difference is that the virus infected foliage keeps its color and can also become mottled, along with vigorous unusual growth. What Causes Witches Broom in Roses? I also don’t know how Sullivan is successful once again in capturing the spirit of the story! I can read endless stories about this duo and I won’t get tired! It is even more impressive given the fact that these are prequels written after the first story so the risk to ruin things is big and yet Sullivan keeps upping his writing game! As the author of this book, I won't add a rating but I will take the opportunity to talk a bit about this book. Exactly what is Rose Rosette disease and what does Rose Rosette disease look like? Rose Rosette disease is a virus. The effect it has upon the foliage brings about its other name of witches’ broom. The disease causes vigorous growth in the cane or canes infected by the virus. The foliage becomes distorted and frazzled looking, along with being a deep red to almost purple in color and changing to a brighter more distinct red.

What? No! No one would rob a wounded man and leave him to die. Royce nodded. Well, no. You’re right. If he has a purse and you take it, it’s best to slit his throat afterward. Too many people live through arrow wounds. You taught me that. No sense risking he might come after you. There are some great scenes in this book with just how cruel and bloodthirsty Royce can be when he realizes the people he cares for are in trouble. Albert is also here, how riyria met him is so not how I imagined it. Gwen was here too but her POV was very small, she didn’t do much in this book so her character didn’t progress. The Rose and the Thorn is the second book in the Riyria Chronicles and the best Riyria book in my opinion. Just like the other Riyria books, the theme that stands out is friendship and comradeship. I also like the relationships between the other characters in this book. There were lots of new well written characters in this book, I didn’t expect that. I also love the fight scenes, though they weren’t many they were well depicted, same goes for the politics, that was unexpected, I didn’t expect the level of politics I got here and I love it. Months after this, the same creator was calling out to his followers, to help with the translation of this book in English.Royce nodded. “Well, no. You’re right. If he has a purse and you take it, it’s best to slit his throat afterward. Too many people live through arrow wounds. You taught me that. No sense risking that he might come after you.”

Jodie and the book of the rose (Jodie Broom 2) Kindle Edition

There was a lot more action and drama here, and answers to some of my most pressing questions from the first series were finally revealed. Because that’s what people do. They help each other. If you saw a man lying in the road with an arrow in him, you’d stop, wouldn’t you?” To sum up, I really enjoyed reading ‘’The Rose and the Thorn’’, it was fast paced, fun, intriguing, it made me happy and it made me sad and it does a great job of setting up ground for the ‘’Theft of Swords’’.

Some herbicide sprays that have drifted over onto rosebush foliage can cause foliage distortion that looks very much like Rose Rosette, having the witches’ broom appearance and the same coloration to the foliage. The tell-tale difference is that the growth rate of the sprayed foliage and canes will not be extremely vigorous as the truly infected bush will be. This book was everything that you want a prequel to be and more. Following a relatively "Okay" but still good first book in the Chronicles, I wasn't expecting much from this, but was extremely pleasantly surprised.

The best thing we can do is to learn the symptoms of the disease and not buy rose bushes that have the symptoms. If we see such symptoms on rose bushes at a particular garden center or nursery, it is best to inform the proprietor of our findings in a discreet manner. She had a heart afraid of breaking and it killed our relationship. She preemptively took her heart and commitment out of the relationship, even though she loved me. She did realize she was doing so but rationalized it by saying that she didn't deserve love. I tried to convince her she deserved mine and I deserved her heart to open up to me but she couldn't commit to it.I was listening to the radio. A song came on the radio. It was “MAGDALENA” by Danny O’Keefe, sung by Leo Sayer. I liked it immediately. My favorite line was “Your love is like a razor. My heart is just a scar.”I thought,”Ooh, I love that lyric.” After being completely befuddled by Hadrian's actions during the Crown Tower heist, as well being on the receiving end of unexpected kindness from a stranger, we're beginning to see signs of humanity surfacing from within Royce. Yet, when hell bent on revenge on those who hurt the very rare few who were kind to him, the intensity and darkness emanating from Royce was frightening and not just a little disturbing. At the same time though, it was satisfying to finally be able to have a glimpse of what made him so infamously scary. In her defense the next line very much applies to me. I've had plenty of dreams but never dared to make any of them reality. I'm to afraid of waking to take the chance to make my life into what I hope it to be. Something she had less isuee. with.

The Rose and the Thorn by Michael J. Sullivan | Goodreads

I think I'm running out of ways to praise this series, so suffice it to say that I will re-read these many times over the years to come. I don't think you've lost enough blood that you'd be suffering delusions yet. You must just be confused. I'm not assaulting you. I'm murdering you.” This book is a lot grimmer than book 1 – be prepared for more cruelty and more tragedy. If you’ve read Revelations first – which you definitely should – you already know who the bad guys are, which just serves to show what an amazing writer Sullivan is: I was deeply invested in spite or maybe even because of all previous knowledge. This is so true and against Hadrian’s character anyway. I’m glad that he is happy for the small comfort Royce feels when around Gwen. Aside from Royce and Hadrian’s POV, Hilfred, a teenage castle guard, is a focal character. We know him and what fate has in store for him from the Riyria Revelations – but fear not, I shall not spoil. Seeing him as a 16-year-old and what he had to endure really pulls on your heart strings – MJS is just so good at that!In the ‘’Crown Tower’’ we found out how Royce and Hadrian met and how they started to work together and here we get to see how their partnership is evolving into friendship and how they became the famous Riyria. Hadrian and Royce haven’t changed much in one year: Hadrian keeps being too naïve to be left alone and Royce too skilled in killing for his own good. Royce seems to have learned what caring about someone means, though. The action felt even more slow burn than in book #1, but I ended up liking it more for how beautifully everything came together at the end.
