HTML: A band of fabled mercenaries tour a wild fantasy landscape, battling monsters in arenas in front of thousands of adoring fans. But, a secret and dangerous gig ushers them to the frozen north, and the band is never one to waste a shot at glory.
Live fast, die young.
Tam Hashford is tired of working at her local pub, slinging drinks for world-famous mercenaries and listening to the bards sing of adventure and glory in the world beyond her sleepy hometown.
When the biggest mercenary band of all, led by the infamous Bloody Rose, rolls into town, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard. It's adventure she wants - and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a quest that will end in one of two ways: glory or death.
It's time to take a walk on the wyld side.
"Humorous twists and pulse-ratcheting action abound in Bloody Rose, but its Eames' knack for heart-wrenching poignancy that makes his warm, wonderful fantasy so harmonious." - NPR

Bloody Rose and her gang have no other choice, as a horde of monsters is descending on the kingdom of Grandual.
I like best how Eames puts in all those little funny lines and references. For me this is the best part of the book and the entertainment. The story asa whole does drag through a few chapters sometime after the midpoint, but the endfight is inevitable.
The epilogue is too schmarmy. Not for the book maybe, but it's protagonists. So, overall I have to deduct juuust a little bit when it comes to the rating, so it's 4,5. (
