I was left wanting after The Jewel, so luckily I managed to acquire a copy of The White Rose soon after finishing. Now I kind of wish I hadn't.

Talk about disappointments. What is happening in this series? Every event falls into one of three categories:

1) I completely saw that coming, how predictable...
2) Holy shit, where are you making up this stuff from??
3) I can't even react because I literally can't follow the plot right now.

That's it, the entire book can be separated into three categories. The weird magic, the sister, the voyage to the wise old woman who can teach you special powers, etc....everything was nuts. I miss the first book. I miss that interesting world. I don't really care anything about the White Rose or this dumb revolution. I have so many more important, more interesting questions that need answering.
