Book series worry me. You read the first book and are wowed by the addictiveness, by the story, by the characters. First books are new and different and can easily pull you in. You have the beginning of a romance, the beginning of the story, the beginning of everything. But a first books leads to a second book which can sometimes not live up to the expectations built by book one. Luckily for The White Rose that was not the case. Amy Ewing delivered and delivered it precisely. The White Rose picks up where The Jewel ended. Violet is on the run after all hell broke loose when she and Ash were discovered. Now Violet, Ash and Violet’s best friend Raven are being helped by unexpected allies to get out of the Jewel and to a mystery house in the Farm. But as the 3 make it closer and closer to safety they all learn things about themselves and each other that could change everything. Action: Holy cow was there action in The White Rose. The book moved fast. Very fast, but not so fast that you had no idea what was actually going on. Basically it moved fast in the way that the story progressed. There was a lot of information about the past and what it meant for the present and Violet specifically, but it wasn’t overwhelming. All the action and information did was make me more and more invested in the plot and Amy’s narrative. Plus you can never go wrong with a good rebellion in a story. ;-) Backdrop: The thing I like the most about the setting of this series is that they almost play a character themselves. The Jewel is a very vibrant place where the most colorful and powerful people live. While the Smoke and the Farm are the working sectors. Just the names of these places alone can tell you what they are about and that is what I love about this story. First names and last names and places tell a story all by themselves and leave you with an image in your head that is clear and easy to pinpoint. Characters: There is no denying what brings me back more and more for The Lone City series, the characters. I just love them. Violet is so naïve yet she is learning how things really work in the world and by learning she is growing. Raven hasn’t had it easy at all yet she continues on even with the struggles she faces on a daily basis. And Ash, oh my Ash. I just love him. He is different than any male character I have come across as he is the one with the “improper” job but he did what he had to do for his family. He struggles a lot in The White Rose for his place in all of this and his place with Violet, but they are understandable troubles and I love him even more for it. And don’t even get me started on Lucien and Garnet. They are two eggs I would love to crack and see what they are made of. ;-) Final Thoughts: I love this series. I love the story. I love the characters. I love the setting. I love the author. I can’t help it Amy has sucked me in and sucked me in good. She has tormented me with endings that are just not fair and yet I come back for more. Seriously I can’t wait for the last part of this addictive story. Review: Violet becomes a little annoying in this series - I had to re-read the first book to remind myself of what was going to happen in this one. At least I THOUGHT I had to. White Rose definitely repeats just enough (but not to the point of annoyance) that I was reminded of what happened. SPOILERS The characters: Violet becomes a little annoying in this series. She sounds whiney and for some reason, entitled. Things just have to be the way she wants. For example, after Violet and Ash are caught in his room (tell me again why she didn't just stay put after Carnelian caught her coming out of the hidden door?). Anyway, her life is in danger. She's been told she will help bring down the Royalty and yet when someone is trying to save her life, she just HAS to do one more thing. At two separate times, her own distractable mind almost gets her caught. Ash has more of a story in this book and I was glad about it. He seems to be the level headed one in many instances. But, he's also full of "woe is me" moments. He has what I call a Violet moment when he just HAS to, MUST do something that nearly gets them all killed. He knows his father is a scoundrel. He knows his dad will sell him out for the right price and he still puts not just himself, but Violet and Raven in harms way. Overall Ash is likeable. I just wish he would stop with the "I was a companion but I am a person too dang it!" lines. Garnet comes through in the clutch again and again. Go figure! I would love to see a Garnet novella because his involvement seems to come out of nowhere. He goes from seeing the Surrogates and everyone NOT Royalty as furniture (a line used way too often in this series) to being basically the hero. At what point did he join the cause? Why? I can't figure out if his drunk kid act was just an act or was it real? It seems the author can't decide either. Carnelian seems to be that girl that everyone makes excuses for and therefore she will never learn how to just grow up. Her presence really is just there to progress the story but it'd be interesting to see if she plays a role in the uprising in later books. Amy should consider this. I didn't like Lucien too much in this book. He knows what the Royalty does to the Surrogates and yet he pisses on Ash constantly. Seems out of character. Sil is someone that you love and can't stand at the same time. I do love how she takes charge of the girls. I also wish she would have explained the history a lot sooner. Some things are still unclear. Maybe there will be another reveal in later books? The Story: I skipped ALOT of paragraphs in this book because it seemed to be all filler and padding. The story had a lot of potential but it was broken by all the description of...well, everything. Every outfit was described, every gust of wind, every blink. Every complaint and teenage moan/groan. Skipping all of that did not leave me wondering how we got from A to D at all. Some elements came out of nowhere or took too long to develop - like the tattoo parlor. Just say that's what it was instead of describing how it looked. I think most readers will be able to picture the interior of a tattoo parlor without help. It still has a lot of potential, and I did enjoy it overall. I'm sticking to it until the last in the series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #613,682 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #642 in Teen & Young Adult Dystopian #954 in Teen & Young Adult Epic Fantasy #1,528 in Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction & Dystopian Romance | | Book 2 of 3 | Lone city trilogy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,733) | | Dimensions | 0.9 x 5.2 x 7.9 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 9 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 0062235826 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062235824 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | September 6, 2016 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 14 - 17 years | ## Images ![The White Rose (Lone City Trilogy, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QRFqWZT8L.jpg) ![The White Rose (Lone City Trilogy, 2) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TMyLS7TZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expectations Met! *by A***) on October 6, 2015* More like 4.5 stars!
