Product Description

Product Description

The Goddess of Elda - the Rose of the World - is now free and married to King Ravn of the Northern Isles. But the ships of the Southern Empire, under the fanatical leadership of Lord Tycho Issian, are bringing holy war to the North; and she may soon become a prize of combat. Meanwhile, Katla Aransen has been abducted by Istrian raiders and finds herself in the harem of Rui Finco, Lord of Forent. There she will learn for herself the hardship suffered by the women of the South. And Saro Vingo is imprisoned beneath the Eternal City, listening to the cries of those tortured by his mad brother, Tanto, Tycho Issian's henchman. Can he escape and put an end to his brother's atrocities? North will fight South and all those caught in the vice of their passage will be crushed - unless guardianship of Elda is taken from the bloody hands of the warmongers and returned to those who truly care for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutality, Action, and Mystery, 6 Feb 2005
By Amy Hallstrom (Grand Forks, North Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rose of the World: Book Three of Fool's Gold (Hardcover)
This book was jam packed with mystery and lots of violence. Lots of main characters and harmless characters were brutally murdered in this final book in the Fool's Gold Trilogy. It definately kept me reading the whole time, but many times I was disgusted by the grusome and evil characters that could kill off babies and women the way they did. Yet, at the end of the book, the chaos is justified when it is clear that the God's are needed for the order to redevelop. Although, while many questions were answered in the last 20 pages of the book, I was left questioning a lot of things, and a lot of relationships between characters were left unresolved. I am very well aware that books are meant to leave you hanging and make an ending in your mind. But I felt as if the last book in the trilogy, was indeed not the last book. I would be satisfied if there was another maybe 100 pages in this book, or even short book that went into explaining a little more of the finale. So, while I loved reading the book the whole way through, with laughter, disgust, excitement, terror, sadness, etc., I slammed my head aganst the couch at the end of the book b/c I couldn't believe that the end was trully the end. I scanned the last 5 blank pages of the book in hopes to find a little note of some other book that was suppsed to be published at a later date, but all the pages were blank. Almost telling the reader, to make up whatever ending they wished.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a baf ending to the series.....but...., 6 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rose of the World: Book Three of Fool's Gold (Hardcover)
But....the first two books so excellent but the third and final is a bit of a let down.
There were so many plots and intrigues...characters and locations that I knew the final book would have to be either huge or things glossed over. Unfortunately it was the latter.....character development stopped and all the loose ends were quickly tied up at the end. A big disappointment to what was a very imaginative and creative new world and culture...just wish that it had been 5 books and not 3!

4.0 out of 5 stars a nice end to the series, 26 Jul 2006
By Crystal Firedragon (hampshire uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rose of the World (Fool's Gold) (Paperback)
it has been some time since i read the 1st 2 books in the series, but found that it was easy to slip back into the characters having had some memory jogging!
With a somewhat unexpected twist towards the end I felt it ended the series well, if a little abruptly!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing end to a good series.
I loved the first two books in this series, I felt that the characters had both depth and purpose, and then came the Rose Of The World. Read more
