Mostly about relationships and solving problems by having enough money and some personal insights. It works well and is relaxing. ( ) After all the shenanigans of the first three books, Reese moves into her new home, Rose Point, a dilapidated run down castle. Gone are all the nasty people wanting to enslave, imprison and kill her and Hirianthial, and in their place she is given a castle full of staff, the new horses and dogs, plus some Eldritch peasants to Lady it over and win to her side, all while preparing for the winter holiday season and all the protocol and guests that that entails for her new status -- not to mention her upcoming wedding. Admittedly the plot may sound a little dull after the earlier books, but it actually works really well and it's a really nice and enjoyable ending to this tetralogy, though technically it should be read before the "Epilogue" at the end of Laisrathera as the wedding comes after the events of this book. All in all, this whole series is well worth a read. I thought this was a short story, but it turns out to be over 250 pages. It's a small story - covering only a few days, and no major actions - but there's a lot of depth in it. The Eldritch celebrate the turning of the year in very specific ways, and Reese (once she learns of them) wants to have Rose Point take part. The Vigil night is gorgeous - the presents are fantastic, both for themselves and for what they say about the giver and the recipient. Lady's Day is great, too; not nearly as deep, since we don't know the local Eldritch...yet... but expressing what Reese wants to have happen, how she wants Laisrathera to grow. And New Years Day and the run-up to it introduce us to a lot of those local Eldritch, and introduce them to some of the changes Reese is making - including some that no one expected, that will make changes in the Alliance as well. Great story! I hope there'll be more like this. And I stayed up reading until 1 am...sheesh! Dangerous author. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
With the Eldritch civil war over, a castle to renovate, and a wedding to prepare for, the last thing Reese is thinking about is taking a break. But the new year is coming and the Eldritch take their holidays very seriously, so Reese decides it can't hurt to observe the local proprieties. Who knows? Maybe it'll make good practice for what Felith is calling the wedding of the century. Of course, that was before Reese realized it was going to involve gifts. And decorating. And a town full of recalcitrant Eldritch tenants who have no reason to trust her... "A Rose Point Holiday" is a short, pastoral novel set during the last days before Reese becomes Theresa Laisrathera Eddings, lady of Rose Point Castle and the surrounding lands of Firilith. The Eldritch have never seen a holiday quite like this one! Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
